 Videoconferencing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A videoconference (also known as a video teleconference) is a meeting among persons where both telephony and closed circuit television technologies are utilized simultaneously.
The major expense in establishing a video conferencing system is in the video technology, which requires a video camera, video display, and a fast data connection.
For business purposes, the current preference is for the use of private or virtual private network connections for video teleconferencing which guarantees better performance and transmission security.

 Fle2 - Future Learning Environment 2 > About
For instance, the Virtual Room Videoconferencing System (http://vrvs.cern.ch) developed in CERN can be embedded to the real time collaboration environment.
The Fle2 system will be inexpensive to use and maintain, easy to install, run on local servers and yet be versatile enough to provide comprehensive collaborative learning facilities for very large numbers of users across the world.
With the continued development of BSCW system, we have found this to be closer to our functionality needs, but without the ease of use and needed adaptation to an educational setting.

 Definitions
Early results of the study indicated there are many opportunities for educators to work together to use videoconferencing to increase productivity and learning opportunities (especially for special needs students), and to participate in special projects not usually available due to cost (such as bringing in a guest lecturer, or observing an archaeological dig).
Videoconferencing appeals to students' different learning styles; students who are visual and auditory learners can benefit.
However, videoconferencing is not the complete solution to adding communication strategies to the classroom, or the boardroom.
