Video Conferencing

Rutgers - Camden
Faculty of Arts and Sciences

The video conferencing facility is located in the small conference room of the Provost Office.  It enables users to conduct meetings with participants in different geographic locations.

Faculty may have concerns about not being able to use the video conferencing equipment because of its complexity.  It is, however, designed to be easy to use and there will be basic guidelines supplied with the system.  However, as is often the case, the best answer is to use the equipment yourself and to practice using it.

Before you start teaching it is essential that you get to know the surroundings in which you will be working.

Some suggestions for becoming familiar with the equipment are:

  •     attend an introductory session 
  •     book a time to visit the room with a technician or experienced user
  •     experiment with the controls
  •     book a practice session, ask someone to observe you and give feedback.
You may experience problems with the technology during a session.  It is very important to  know where to get help.  An important piece of information is the telephone number of the remote site you are contacting at hand in case your connection goes wrong. 

In order to book the video conferencing facilities for use for a single session or for a regular slot, you need to book the room in advance to avoid inconvenience. Try and give as much notice as possible.
