Module 1

After searching for the equipment the closet at the University, an obsolete technology that was emerging or emerged when my organization bought into the idea was telephone conference calls.


At the University teleconferencing, was frequently used enabling us to fully customize the conferencing experience from meeting to meeting. We had the ability to control our calls and maximize our efficiency. It also enabled attendees to participate more fully. When teleconferencing services were used to their greatest advantage, a free exchange of ideas were made possible and we could speak to each other with distance not being an issue.

However...The traditional conference call is a thing of the past - obsolete.

The emerging  technology that has certainly replaced it is the use of live video conferencing.
Recognizing that a phone call is no longer enough to satisfy. The global climate has made it necessary for our University to have the ability to effectively communicate with many  people at once regardless of their location be it across state lines or across entire oceans. To succeed, our University chose to stay on top of cutting-edge communications. A live video conference simply provides an easier way to exchange ideas and communicate in a more convenient fashion. This type of meeting enables attendees to see and hear each other so the contact is more personal than a phone call could ever be and it provides the perfect atmosphere for a free exchange of ideas.
