Benefits for Stakeholders
Institutions
Costs and inconvenience associated with downtime face-to-face meetings can be avoided by using Live Meeting. Demands on internal resources are minimised, due to user-friendly administration tools and external hosting. The same service can be used for teaching, and conducting teaching and administration meetings. With the ability to interact with educators and students around the world, Live Meeting can place your institution at the cutting-edge of learning discovery.
Students
Virtual classes can be attended, and presentation content downloaded and edited in real-time with Live Meeting. Video content can be independently reviewed at a later date for revision purposes. Interaction with classmates and teachers can take place, as if you were all in the same location. Group projects can be worked on—by using brainstorming tools, editing files, and collaboration on virtual whiteboards—and saved. Ideas can be generated and retained, regardless of location or mobility.
Teachers
Imagine being able to let your teaching reach students around the world without leaving your place of work. Or engaging a class with guest expert speakers—even briefing students on exciting new research, live from the field. Live Meeting makes all this possible, using a familiar interface and content from Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 programs, to achieve your presentation goals easily.
