Combining Video Conference and Satellite

The Department of Juvenile Justice and Training Resource Center at Easter Kentucky University are using a combination of satellite broadcast and video conferencing to connect its dispersed student groups around the region.

Videoconferencing technology can be used to enable remote students to call back into the studio whilst a live program is 'on air' and ask questions of the guests and experts. This technique has been successfully used in The Center for Rural Development and the university's live TV transmissions.

With increased bandwidth and greater transmission speeds now becoming available, academics in any part of the university are able to enter their local videoconference suite and broadcast a live program to anywhere in the world.
