Videoconferencing in Education

Internet Videocommunications is a specialist in providing schools, universities, LEA’s and other educational establishments with distance-learning conferencing solutions. Our dedication to the delivery of video, audio and web conferencing solutions and our unrivalled expertise in the education sector, has improved the learning experience for both teachers and students alike. Transparent technology that is easy to use and enables you to do more is one of our primary concerns.

Videoconferencing allows pupils to go beyond the four walls of the classroom and gives them access to a wealth of resources and expertise. Students can practice their language skills by talking ‘face to face’ with children from France, Germany, Spain or just about anywhere in the World. A trip to the local library, museum or even the NASA space centre in Houston is now just a couple of clicks away.

Internet Videocommunications designs, installs and maintains leading edge 'distance learning' solutions to educational establishments all over the country. Here are just couple of examples of our work:

The Open University

With over 200,000 students, this is the UK largest university. Internet Videocommunications was chosen to install and maintain videoconferencing solutions for the University’s 13 regional offices around the UK and Ireland. Videoconferencing at The Open University now means more efficient group working and inter-regional meetings. It also allows greater capacity for distance learning and for seminars, lectures and tutorials to be conducted by video.

Kingswood Partnership –DfES Pathfinder Project

The Kingswood Partnership is a well-established consortium made up of 7 local schools and 1 Further Education College within the Bristol area. The initial requirement was a need to connect these 8 establishments for distance and e-learning purposes. The solution that Internet Videocommunications installed and now maintains, enables teachers and pupils to take part in inter-school lessons and seminars and gives them the ability to communicate to educational institutions across the globe.

Classroom of the Future

Internet Videocommunications are delighted to have contributed to the recent success of Cornwall’s innovative ‘Classroom of The Future’. Working closely with the CPR Success Zone team, we have designed, refined and are now delivering a ‘Classroom of The Future’ that completely fulfils the needs of both children and teachers alike.
