DISTANCE LEARNING

Why Video-collaboration?

Imagine the possibilities for learning and teaching when students and faculty can experience remote places first hand without leaving their campus or communities. HALOS VC offers high definition video communications, streaming and recording solutions to education practitioners, students, researchers and administrators. By providing high quality, true-to-life communications, Halos vc helps educators extend access to learning, to subject-matter experts, and to improved collaboration.

When travel costs and time limitations constrain access Halos vc makes interaction possible. With the LifeSize® UVC Video Center™, you can record and stream lectures live, and students can choose to view on demand as often as needed. 

Interactive video-collaboration is an effective tool that may be used in distance education settings. This system can be integrated into the distance education program with minimal adaptation to the curriculum and course and is designed to support two-way video and audio communication between multiple locations. 

Professors no longer need to travel to lecture at other schools. From within their own office, they can host video conferences with students at multiple locations.
