 About Satellite Video Conferencing
Videoconferences via satellite are live interactive seminars or
meetings on a specific topic in areas such as General Education,
Health Occupations, Staff Development, Protective Services,
Technical/Industrial and Business etc.
Participants take part in a
live presentation via satellite from a distant site to a on-campus downlink receive site
usually featuring a panel of nationally recognized experts in their given
fields. Satellite VideoConferences can also be a pre-recorded video series,
which a workshop and credit or noncredit courses are built around.
They are often used for workforce training, professional
development, or continuing education programs. Some examples of
program providers are PBS/Adult Learning Satellite Service,
Community College Satellite Network, Emergency Education NETwork,
Law Enforcement Satellite Training Network, Healthcare Informatics,
Fairfax Network, Microsoft, NASA, The National
Technological University and Sea World.

Satellite Videoconferences provide the convenience of attending at our
own campuses with live interaction via audio, video, fax, e-mail and the Web.
Satellite Videoconferences enhance your department's profile. Most have
generous taping rights, free promotional kits and there's no need
to travel long distances or out of state.
For the participants, it is convenient training and interaction
with national experts, providing up to the minute information,
high quality instruction with participant handouts and continuing
education credits.
Typically, you may invite as many persons to attend as you
wish, offering training at no or very low cost per person, all
with experts that would not ordinarily be available on campus.
In most cases, you get a videotape or DVD of the program and may use
it, for the most part, for the life of the tape or DVD within this
institution.
You can cut costs for travel and have access to national
satellite videoconferences at a convenient MATC campus location.
Most times you will receive printed resource materials and information you
can use in the future.
You can generate revenue by opening your doors to the public
and charging an admission fee, thereby recovering your costs, if
any.
