Video Conferencing
equipment is a communication device
that allows two or more people at different
locations to see and hear each other
at the same time. The visual connection

feel connected to each other. This goes
a long way toward building relationships
in a way that e-mail, telephone, or
online chat systems cannot, supporting
collaboration among traditionally isolated
institutions. A video conference can
improve retention and appeal to a variety
of learning styles by including diverse
media such as video or audio clips,
graphics, animations, computer applications.
