Using Technology to Maximize Training and Minimize Costs

Abstract

Provides an outline of videoconferencing and what this system has to offer training providers, students and employers. Outlines the modern aspects which have become commonplace in videoconferencing; e.g. public digital telephone network. Highlights the facts that: a basic system can be bought for £12,000; no specialist knowledge is needed; and videoconferencing capabilities have been introduced into desktop computers. Suggests students learn better when taught over the video system; therefore its use could be incorporated in the classroom. A penultimate point claims videoconferencing makes financial sense owing to less travel time and no accommodation expenses.
