McCrea, B. (2009) San Jose State University Brings Online Students Face-to-Face Campus Technology, Sept 16
San Jose State University has added a videoconferencing system that allows faculty and students to interact in a “face to face” format online to its web-based programs. The addition enables real-time collaboration between instructors and students and allows for the addition of synchronous content to asynchronous distance learning. The suite from Elluminate enables organizing, scripting, and packaging content and activities for live, online sessions; and the creation of standalone recordings or industry-standard audio files from session recordings, and the storage of those files on a computer, learning management system (LMS), Web site, or other media.
