Glossary #9 – Video conferencing

Video conferencing

 

Video conferencing is when a meeting takes place over a program like Skype or Blackboard, where you are speaking to someone via a video link. This requires a webcam and a microphone and a program like Skype to enable you to dial up and connect with others.

 

Remember Skype is available to download on your Mobile, tablet and other Wi-Fi enabled devices like an iPod touch. It can be a very useful tool for distance learners to attend tutorials or online group seminars.
