Videoconferencing provides students with the opportunity to learn by participating in two-way communication forums. Benefits that videoconferencing can provide in campus environments include:

• guest lecturers brought in classes from other institutions
• researchers collaborating with colleagues at other institutions on a regular basis without loss of time due to travel
• schools with multiple campuses collaborating and sharing professors
• faculty members participating in thesis defenses at other institutions
• administrators on tight schedules collaborating on budget preparation from different parts of campus
• tele-seminars
