The JANET Videoconferencing Service – milestones and new VC features for UK education

  • Paul Bonnett, JANET, UK

Link to presentation documents

The JANET Videoconference Service has passed several milestones in use over the last 12 months. JANET have celebrated the 20,000th Schools’ videoconference and the 5000th registered member.

Videoconferencing has come to a point where the combination of hardware, software, and network technology can truly replace a vast amount of travel. Now after 15 years, JVCS is in even more demand, offering advice and support to UK Universities, Colleges and Schools.

Paul Bonnett, Video Services Manager at JANET UK reviews the current state of play for UK Educational Videoconferencing and takes a look forwards at some of the new technologies that JANET plan to make freely available to UK Education in the next year.

Paul will speak on the lessons learned in the midst of the national roll-out of new High Definition MCUs (Multipoint Control Units), the new features of Recording and Streaming videoconferences and the exciting possibilities for easy desktop h.323 clients, especially when combating “videoconferencing for the scared”.

Delegates interested in this session may also wish to attend the complementary session entitled, ‘The Cultural and Educational Use of the JANET Videoconferencing Service by UK Museum, Galleries and Archives’.
