Abstract

Video conferencing for use in education has included the development of expensive yet sophisticated technology capable of delivering quality instruction to multiple sites. Limitations arise from using a closed network and a factor such as cost to establish and operate the network with video compression or satellite technology can potentially impact programming. An alternative to expensive and site-restricted technologies is desktop video conferencing. This paper reviews the process that involved selecting desktop video conferencing as the "next generation" distance learning technology. In addition, the paper discusses the creation of a multi-site desktop video conferencing network designed to serve central Louisiana and provide an array of program possibilities including courses for credit, teacher certification, and training to participating sites.
