Bring the World to the Classroom in HD
Bring content to the classroom - through partnerships with cultural institutions, researchers, universities, and content aggregators, there are no limits to accessing experts: from NASA to a live aquarium.
Interactive, virtual field trips - take students on exciting, educational field trips without leaving the classroom. See ancient fossils, dance programs or live aquariums. With crystal-clear HD video, it's as good as being there.
Expand curriculum - for locations with limited access to specialized instructors, campuses can connect to share resources in order to offer programs to all students. Students can watch lectures from remote locations live and play back as often as needed.
Connect peers across geographic boundaries - one science project, ten eager minds, three locations. There are no boundaries for peers to learn teamwork and to advance their skills together.
Integrate with learning technology and content - encourage interactivity and content sharing from your electronic whiteboards to fast frame digital content.
Professional development and administration - for continuing education and meetings, HD videoconferencing enables quality meetings without travel cost or impact on the environment.
