Video Conferencing Services Company, IVCi, Discusses the Importance of AV Technology to Create Efficient, Flexible, and Productive Classrooms

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Feb. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Books and lectures aren't the only ways to learn in the classroom today. More and more classrooms, from high schools to universities and other advanced learning institutions, are using video conferencing services to create a dynamic learning experience. In an effort to attract and graduate high achievers, these innovative, modern learning environments are essential. To help educators understand this opportunity, IVCi discusses the importance of AV technology in creating efficient, flexible, and productive classrooms.

• Increases Student Engagement: At one time or another, we've all been students, so we can all relate to the feeling of disengagement—or boredom—in a class. Students will eventually enter a competitive marketplace, and they need to absorb the information presented in class so they're as prepared as possible for their future careers. Though each individual student has a responsibility to pay attention, the teacher also has a duty to communicate effectively. Audio-visual technology can help. Students can "attend" off-site events and feel as though they're there because of the ability to interact with the speaker as if he or she is in the classroom with them.
• Helps with Visualization: Sometimes it's easier to demonstrate or visually represent a concept than it is to explain it using nothing but words. A teacher could talk for an hour, or show a simple graphic, video, or real-life example to get the point across in just a few minutes. Students get to hear the ideas and see them play out. This can be especially useful if the school doesn't have the resources for a specific on-site research laboratory, for example, or to send the students on an educational field trip. AV technology not only helps to improve visualization in the classroom but also saves universities time and money.
• Promotes Collaboration and Communication in the Classroom: Students can connect with fellow students who are in different sections of the same class to collaborate on projects, compare notes, or study together. It's an easy way to share ideas among the entire group, not just those who are present at that particular class time. AV technology also allows participation from students who can't be on-site—and gives you an opportunity to enroll students who might not have otherwise been able to due to time or distance constraints. Your students can also connect and work on projects with students at different schools in different countries; this type of multicultural teamwork is common in business and can be just as common in your classroom.
• Enables Different Styles of Learning: Everyone has a different way of absorbing the material, and video conferencing helps you reach more students where they are. Diverse lesson types improve student engagement; it also gives students the sense that you care about their education by using the latest technology to make the topics as accessible as possible.

It's no longer surprising to see AV technology in the classroom; however, it will very likely soon be surprising not to see it. The options and opportunities for video conferencing are as broad as your vision for the class and the institution as a whole.
