Polycom videoconferencing the system of choice for tertiaries

Presenters: Chris Stewart and Denise Hansen
Roles:

GM/Director and Communication Manager/ Education specialist

Organisation:

asnet Technologies Limited

Category:

Presentation

Description:

Tertiary institutions and schools have become sophisticated users of videoconferencing technologies, aware of what they want, and able to make considered choice. Tertiary requirements for videoconferencing have been honed over several years - this technology is no longer bleeding edge, but a must-have mainstream tool. Access to colleagues and students anywhere, and a heightened conscience regarding travel and the sustainability of the environment alone, make use of VC a 'given'.

asnet Technologies Ltd are New Zealand's videoconferencing specialists, having provided end user and bridging equipment, advice, managed services, maintenance and support, for schools, tertiaries and the Ministry of Education since 2000. During this time, New Zealand has seen the growth of 1000 courses run via VC, and a huge uptake of tertiaries connecting to their regional campuses, to overseas institutions, to their school client base, using videoconference technology.
This presentation will look at some key drivers:

  • The continual development of VC technologies;
  • Interoperability is critical as new networks and technologies emerge and tertiaries go global;
  • High Definition videoconferencing - what is it REALLY, where does it fit in the international standards scene, and myths surrounding HD videoconferencing;
  • Case studies.

See you there.
