Distance Learning
Teleconferencing
A teleconference is live, one-way interaction. You can both see and hear the far-end, however, they cannot see or hear you. You can participate by phoning or e-mailing questions to the presenters.
Information Services provides down linking for all teleconferences that are available through Distance Learning, Department of Education, and PaTTAN Pittsburgh.
Intermediate Unit 1 provides a meeting room and handouts, when provided, for all teleconferences. If you are unable to attend a teleconference you may obtain a copy by sending a blank videotape to Information Services. For more information please contact Linda Tarpley at 724-938-3241 ext. 243.

Videoconferencing
A videoconference is live, two-way interaction (both video and voice). You see and hear the far-end and simultaneously you can be seen and heard. Quality is dependent upon connection speed.
IU1 maintains 3 Polycom units, which enables us to connect to videoconferences through IP. We can connect to a videoconference at a speed of 384K+. We are capable of connecting to I2.
We provide this service for videoconferences that are available through distance learning, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, PaTTAN Pittsburgh, PaTTAN Harrisburg, and PaTTAN King of Prussia.
