Video conferencing allows higher education and further education students to connect with their tutors and peers remotely. It is useful for distance learning programs and connecting learners across institutions worldwide. To set up a video conference, users contact George Wraith to access the video conferencing software and the ILT team for training and equipment support. The current system allows up to six people to conference at once for a fee. Benefits for students include engaging remotely with face-to-face contact and connecting with guest speakers and students globally. Advance planning is needed to familiarize with the system and ensure technical setup works properly.
