Videoconferencing resources on campus

Given current political events and the recent tightening of budgets across campus, many are giving travel alternatives a second look. One such alternative is videoconferencing. Because it is not yet a widespread technology, you may be wondering how to go about setting up a videoconference. Some questions you may have asked yourself are:

: :

Do I have to buy equipment?

: :

How much does it cost to videoconference?

: :

How reliable is the technology?

: :

Are there resources on campus to help me?

This seminar helped answer those and other basic questions about videoconferencing. It provided a non-technical look at why you should (or should not, in some cases) videoconference, the different types of videoconferencing available, the costs involved in the process and resources available on campus. There were live videoconferencing demonstrations and a panel was present to answer questions and provide advice on how to get started.
