Videoconferencing is still relatively new for the Internet, but its popularity is growing
quickly. It is a full-motion, two-way, video/audio system that permits two or more
people in different locations to communicate with each other. Two-way
videoconferencing is often used for large groups and by colleges and universities that
offer video courses.
Videoconferencing is often used in distance learning and Web-based courses. Colleges
and universities have been providing live broadcasts of lectures and seminars to some of
their students who are unable to travel to class sites. The justification of using
videoconferencing in education may also come from concepts and principles related to
social learning and social constructivist theory.
In business settings, videoconferencing is used for employee training, group work or to
introduce a new product, service or procedure.
Understanding what are required for videoconferencing and what software programs are
available becomes more and more important to people working in education and business, and also for those who are enthusiastic about personal communication in this
way.
