Videoconferencing Without Busting Your Budget

An interactive and multimedia presentation detailing teaching techniques and strategies for educating today’s law student through the use of cheap and readily available videoconferencing technology. While most videoconferencing codecs provide excellent video, audio, and data transfer capabilities, they require a significant amount of material and tech support at both ends of the operation. Making use of web-based tools, including webconferencing, voice over IP, and similar tools, we can provide information and resources for budget strapped law schools. We will demonstrate how a variety of programs can be used, sometimes singly and sometimes in tandem to respond to several teaching scenarios. We will discuss strategies, techniques, and highlight the use of skype, sight speed, polycom pvx, adobe connect, and other available tools as well as provide real world examples that you can take back to your law schools.
