Think Beyond the Classroom
Online media platforms and solutions can require a major investment in time and money. While online media may be used primarily for delivering educational courses, the technology has many other uses. For a school or other organization, an online media system can be a revenue source. The system can be made available free or on a fee basis to community organizations and businesses for a variety of activities.
Here are some alternative uses for your online media:
- Professional development.
- Virtual office hours for students to meet with faculty.
- Parent-teacher conferences.
- Software training using shared applications, files and desktops.
- Meetings of local government boards and commissions.
- Social networking.
- Work group or study group meetings.
- Fundraising activities.
- Community outreach.
- Public discussions, questions, and comments.
- Lectures and cultural events.
Thinking beyond the classroom will help ensure that your investment in videoconferencing technologies pays off in more ways than one.
