  • Jeff Bary
  • Lisa
  • Barnett
  • Thomas Beyer

Ideas/Thoughts:

  • no clear avenue to understand requests
  • no 1 solution
  • how are we currently using videoconferencing: interviews, Professors, students to join in meetings in remote locations
  • solutions we are currently use for various purposes (teaching and learning, administrative, performance): polycom, skype, webex, gotomeeting, polycom desktop client, blue jeans
  • problem using third party applications, could lead to violating hipaa etc.
  • building in polycom into specific classrooms
  • is there a video conferencing standard? polycom is considered a standard
  • research computing
  • internet2
  • live streaming
  • videoconferencing with interactivity

Need to find out what’s available at each location, strengths and weaknesses, security priority, latency priority, and the different uses for videoconferencing (i.e. admin mtg or teaching and learning).

Different Use Cases:

peer to peer, classroom to classroom, faculty to classroom, multipoint/multi-class, performance, secure/private, additional functionality, event broadcast, local broadcast, multi-platform, multi-standard, mobility,
