Video Conferencing Usage – Distance Learning

>Pricelist

In the modern fast moving world educational requirements are high. Education should be accessible to all and keep up with the times. VideoPort offers new approaches to the educational process – tools for distance learning. Together with the state and private educational establishments we are working out programmes that can make education accessible, overcome the distances and help to get latest and updated information.

Distance learning is the future of education

  • Widens your horizons – be available for the students in anу part of the world;
  • It’s new level of education – students can study from the best tutors;
  • Prompt exchange of information and ability to quickly gather in one place;
  • Involvement of the working and physically impaired students into the learning process;
  • On-line classrooms – economically beneficial to everyone;
  • It’s comfortable, safe and easy to use;
  • Flexibility in choosing the duration of the license and the set of functions – you are paying for the actual use only.

     
  Estimation of video conferencing cost efficiency

Let’s assume that 2 university lectors go monthly on a trip to another part of the country to hold a 2-day workshop.

Expenses for one teacher:

  • flight tickets ~ $1000.
  • hotel ~ $200.
  • transfers ~ $100.
  • travel allowance ~ $200.
Expenses for organization of the event:
  • rental of a meeting room for the workshop ~ $1000
Total: an average of $2500 is spent per event.

A one year VideoPort VCS 3.0 license with an average number of services costs $5,995 (minimum price – $2,495).

As a rule by using video conferencing the university cuts the number of business trips by 50%.

  • The product payoff period: $5,995 / ($2,500*50%) = 5,8 months
  • Money saved per year: ($2,500*50%)*7,2 = $9,000

Don’t forget to add here all the time saved, convenience for the participants and wonderful partnership development prospects all over the world!

How you can earn more by using video conferencing:

  • Make paid workshop attendance – $100 per invitation (in total there will be 15 participants).
  • Direct expenses for the workshop – $0
  • The product payoff period: $5,995 / ($100*15 = 4 months
  • The University’s profit per year: $100*15*8 = $12,000

Personal Video Calls

Multipoint Video Conferences

Online video conference for up to 16 users, where all of the participants can see and hear each other and collaboratively work on the documents, discuss things and make decisions.

Video Lectures

All the participants of the conference can see and hear only one speaker, who in turn sees and hears all of them. This type of video conferencing will be ideal for check-ups and testing of knowledge, lecturing and educational events where the teacher can see and control all the students and they will not be distracted and see only the speaker.

Video Meetings

Allow to gather in one video conference up to 90 participants, all of whom can see and hear up to 3 speakers at the same time and take active part in the discussions by asking for the floor or by chatting. It is used for formation of the unitary communicative space, live lecturing and informational meetings.
