The Innovative Learning Center operates the Tulane Uptown campus videoconferencing facility (sometimes also called a 'compressed video' facility). A videoconferencing facility can be used to communicate in real-time with other users at similarly equipped sites throughout the world. The facility is useful for distant meetings, research consultations, thesis defenses and remote teaching. The Tulane videoconferencing facility is located in the Telecommunications Building, first floor, room 101. The room seats 12 persons comfortably. Up to 18 persons can be accommodated with some rearrangements. This facility is currently configured for point-to-point videoconferences, although multipoint conferences can be arranged at additional cost. Simple intercampus conferences cost $35/hr. at each location. To schedule a videoconference or get more information, contact Derek Toten (314-2516) or the ILC (862-8594).
