delivered online via MIV
For technologists and other staff members at participating colleges who support multipoint, interactive videoconferencing on their campuses. Delivered online via MIV. (1 program unit. Registration deadline: Friday, August 8, 2008)
To have a successful participation experience, participants will want to use
Participants will also want to connect via a high-speed Internet connection. (Test your bandwidth speed at http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html: enter your telephone area code and your connection type, then click G0. Your bandwidth speed should be 500 kbps or greater.)
Learn how to develop and support campus services based on NITLE's managed multipoint interactive videoconferencing (MIV) services. Every participating institution enrolled in the NITLE Network receives 10 virtual seats in a MIV "room" reserved for the participating institution's use. Using their personal desktop or laptop computers, members of the faculty and staff can communicate, interact, and collaborate with colleagues and students--on and off campus--in a web-based environment that includes audio, video, a shared whiteboard, group and private chat, and application-sharing. For campuses who wish to extend their use of MIV beyond the basic level, NITLE also offers Enhanced MIV Services and MIV Auditorium Access.
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To participate in this program, please contact your liaison, who will let you know whether your institution has program units available to support your participation. If so, your liaison will contact NITLE to register you to participate. (Note that campus policies on the use of program units vary. Liaisons, please register participants by e-mailing participate@nitle.org.)
If no units are currently available, your liaison--following campus policy--may purchase them on your behalf or may recommend that you or your department purchase them. If you or your department chooses to purchase program units for your use, please make the purchase and register for this program by sending an e-mail message to participate@nitle.org, including the program title and your name, job title, and e-mail address. NITLE will send you an invoice and confirmation of your registration.
For more information about this online program, please contact Karen Davis.
Please note that MIV is most effective with a 1:1 ratio between participant and MIV seat (each "seat" is equivalent to one laptop or desktop computer). Participants are therefore encouraged to join the program as individuals using their own computers.
To ensure a positive participation experience in this online program, participants who are new to multipoint interactive videoconferencing (MIV) are encouraged to pursue basic training in the use of MIV prior to participating in this program. Training options include:
Both training options will help new and newer users of MIV feel comfortable within the virtual MIV environment, learn how to use its interactive tools, and otherwise learn how to participate and contribute successfully within MIV.
