Dear Colleagues,

 

The Met Office have just announced a series of free videoconference sessions for schools and colleges in England. The conferences are available during November, January and February of the new  2009/2010 academic year. The Met Office videoconferences have proved extremely popular in the past, so early booking is advised to avoid disappointment. Please visit the Met Office web site for more details and to reserve a session.

 

Met Office Videoconferences : www.metoffice.gov.uk/education/teachers/video_conferencing.html

 

The Met Office will be using the JANET Videoconferencing Service (JVCS) to manage the conferences, and any school or college must first be registered with JVCS in order to take part.

 

JVCS Booking Service :  www.jvcs.ja.net/booking

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

The JANET Videoconferencing Service (JVCS) has made a new feature available to organisations registered with the JVCS Booking Service. When you book or launch a videoconference through the JVCS Booking Service, you can now choose to record the conference by simply ticking a box.  Once your session has finished and the recording has been processed, you will receive a notification email containing a link to your file for download.

 

Your organisation may wish to use recordings for:

 

     replaying of lessons/lectures for absent students

     online promotion

     future demonstrations

     meeting or interview reviews

     performance feedback

     continued professional development (CPD)

 

For more information please see

If you would like to record your videoconferences, please speak to the JVCS Booking Service administrator for your organisation.
