[Year 12 IT Apps] OT: Anyone doing Distance Ed across schools or campuses?

[Michael Torsello (Mr)]

Thanks for that information, Graham - I have never heard of PolyCom.
Some research needed I think.

Michael

We offer Year 12 PE to a neighbouring school via a PolyCom setup.

We also employ an instructor who teaches VET Equine studies across the
state to individual students using the equipment.

We have also used the PolyCom to link with our students at Gnurad
Gundidj and Bogong.

It is fairly easy to use, but does require a little more preparation,
etc.

Dear colleagues

I had an interesting chat with my principal about sharing classes across
our two campuses (campi?).

She suggested that in the case of a class not being able to run on one
campus due to small numbers, students can watch the class on the other
campus using something like Skype.

 

Assuming that students have access to the right technology e.g. computer
with web cam etc, has anyone actually achieved something like these?
