Web Conferencing Options

Is It Right for Me?

The Web Conferencing delivery type is new to CVTC and is currently in pilot mode. Course instruction is conducted with the use of Microsoft Live Meeting. Live Meeting is an online collaboration tool that instructors will use to present course materials. Participants will watch and listen to the lecture using a computer, and in some cases, the instructor may use a web cam. The students and teacher can communicate by voice, text chat, and question and answer interaction.

How it Works/Requirements

A headset with microphone is required for web conferencing courses and is available for purchase from the CVTC Bookstore. Students should come to the first day of class with this equipment. For the first week of the semester students will meet in a CVTC classroom, but after that time period, students are free to attend class from off campus. If you are connecting from off campus, make sure your computer meets the requirements found on our Hardware/Software Requirements webpage. To learn more about the Live Meeting technology, view our training materials.
