Transform Your Learning Environment through BYOD, mobile and cloud-based Video Applications

According to Gartner, mobile video  software client users grew 340%  between 2010 and 2012. It is  expected that mobile video users will  grow from 429 million to 2.4 billion in  2016. How are we as educators  leveraging this phenomenon?  

As the use of live interactive video  increases in education—with  students, teachers and  administrators all connecting—we  are increasingly seeing students and  teachers issuing devices or promoting  use of student own technology  devices. In fact, some say that the  bring your own device (BYOD)  movement is revolutionising how  educators teach and students learn.  How are we, as educators,  capitalising on student or faculty  owned mobile devices to radically  change the learning environment?  How do cloud solutions fit into the  picture? And what does mobility and  the cloud enable us to do? 

In this interactive session, the  presenter will provide an overview of  desktop, mobile and cloud?based  video applications and how they are  being used in the collaborative  classroom:  

•  Students become engaged in a  ‘hate to miss’ learning  environment where they use  various devices and software to  collaborate, work on projects,  participate in problem?based  learning whether physically on  campus, at a remote site or while  travelling. 

•  Faculty meet face to face  remotely with one or many  pulling in subject matter experts  from content providers or  businesses. Learn how we can  leverage desktop or mobile  devices while incorporating other  tools in their arsenals such as  interactive whiteboards.  

•  Learn from different education  institutions as they share best  practices in flexible distance  learning and collaboration.
