Video Conferencing is not excluded from the new era of computers. The invention of the webcam has allowed people to communicate in ways that were not imaginable centuries ago. People no longer have to travel an extreme distance to have a meeting or discussion. Video conferencing have also become an alternative way for teachers and their students to communicate, contrary to the traditional way when face to face in the classroom was mandatory, this provides students and teachers with the opportunity to learn and teach by participating in two-way communication forums.
Furthermore, teachers and lecturers worldwide can be brought to secluded or otherwise isolated educational facilities. Students from diverse backgrounds can learn about each other. Sometimes it is simply not possible to have direct meetings with two or more people. However, video conferencing adds another possible alternative, and can be considered when a live conversation is needed; the parties of the conversation can’t physically come to the same location; or the expense or time of travel is a consideration.
