Community Services Development About JANET Latest
Over 2,000 Schools participated in videoconferences using JVCS during the autumn term and JVCS supported all its users in over 15,000 hours of videoconferencing.
DfES fund the use of JVCS by schools to make videoconferencing as easy and trouble free as possible. Schools are not charged for using the service.
BETT delegates will be able to conference with teachers and children who have already started using videoconferencing, to hear about their experiences and watch demonstrations of the activities that are possible by videoconference. Delegates will also have an opportunity to see and hear content providers showcasing content that is available to all schools by videoconference.
