What Broadband Video Can Do For Your Organization :

Schools, libraries and nonprofits can make great use of broadband video-enabled networks. Within schools and libraries, video services are most commonly used for face-to-face and stored-video learning, proprietary meetings, training sessions, staff development and public programs.

Typical Uses Include :

To take "video field trips" to science centers, museums, dance halls and zoos.

To have interactive classes with artists and writers in other cities.

To enable staff training across many locations so that a master teacher, naturally only available in one location, can reach teachers anywhere with videoconferencing.

Staff members and librarians can take distance learning courses from institutions without leaving the workplace.

To allow interactive video staff meetings involving employees from several different branches. To enable literary discussion groups among geographically dislocated students.

To sponsor guest lecturers, speakers and performers in an interactive setting to participants outside of physical proximity, allowing schools and libraries to gain access to and interact with famous speakers.

To partner with publishers and local booksellers to host video visits when new books are published.

To expand story time at one library to other libraries, making story time more frequent and more readily available.

For meeting with government representatives in disparate locations so as not to crowd their schedules and make their issues reach higher platforms.
