VIDEO CONFERENCING

Our centre in Tirana now accommodates one of the most sophisticated video conferencing facilities in the region, enabling you to hold meetings with participants at different locations.

WHAT IS VIDEO CONFERENCING?

Video conferencing is a form of communication that integrates a video link and speech (using telephone lines). Participants in a video conferencing session are able to see one another while speaking. They can also use the technology to share documents, deliver presentations and provide training.

WHY USE VIDEO CONFERENCING?

There are many benefits to using video conferencing.

you can communicate more regularly with people in other areas or countries, which would usually be costly or impossible if you had to travel    
you can video conference with many more people than would fit into a single meeting room because each party will be using their own facilities    
video conference communication and meetings are often much shorter in total as no travel is involved. A meeting that may take you away from work for four hours (due to travel) may take only one or two hours using a video conference    
using video conferencing saves money as it can lower your expenses - there is no need for all the costs involved with travelling, such as meals and tickets    
a telephone call or e-mail is not always the best way to communicate with another person. Interactive meetings can help to generate ideas, and enable people to read each other’s reactions.   
video conferencing allows for collaboration by document sharing. Many people in different areas can work on the same project and make contributions    
many institutions can receive the same broadcast simultaneously, and so much greater level of participation can be gained. For example, a lecture being broadcast to students at many different educational institutions     

THE WIDER BENEFITS OF VIDEO CONFERENCING

Our video conferencing suite can also help you to:

enhance your learning experience and support you by putting in touch with other learners in different geographical regions    
create and develop a useful dialogue with UK education exporters     
collaborate more with UK experts on various projects
