Providing the best for the best of tomorrow
Direct Visual has vast experience and knowledge of implementing
videoconferencing to secondary schools, with significant projects
such as Shropshire County Council and Coventry Local Authority
where many secondary schools are enabled with
videoconferencing.
The systems are not only simple to use and reliable, but they
are also secure. By working with the network teams within Local
Authorities, Direct Visual ensures that schools have control over
exactly who may be called from the system, and who may call in.
Typical uses of videoconferencing at secondary level
include:
Distance Learning
- Utilising videoconferencing, schools are broadening access to
their educational services, as well as delivering new services as a
result of increased access and demand.
Virtual field trips
- Bringing museums and places of interest directly into the
classroom
- Connect to remote locations via wireless video networks
Employer Engagement
- Employers are continually looking at new ways of engaging with
the education community to ease the transition of pupils from
learning into work. Videoconferencing is being used increasingly to
help pupils understand the world of work, and many employers are
providing ambassadors to secondary schools via video to assist in
their learning about the world of work.
VLE / Learning Management Systems
- Increasingly Schools need to capture learning content,
particularly when notable speakers are presenting or the event is
infrequent. With DV's capability to integrate videoconference and
other video recordings into VLE's and Learning Management Systems,
Schools can rapidly deploy compelling, visual learning content to
students.
