Benefits of Videoconferencing

April 22, 2009

It is always interesting to see what people think the benefits are to videoconferencing. From my perspective, I get to interact with students across the United States and soon globally with our “Hall Around the World” initiative. So far, it has been a blast meeting all of these different students.

I recently read Janine Lim’s blog post “Benefits of VC: In the Words of a Teacher” where she mentions what teachers feel the benefits are to videoconferencing. One benefit that instantly caught my attention was the “the students love the fact that they can see and interact with another school with immediate feedback.” I think that is fascinating because from a content provider point of view, I enjoy videoconferencing for the same reason.

What do you think the benefits to students are for videoconferencing?
