The vision statement for Valencia
Community College is to be an extraordinary learning
community. Some of the key values to help accomplish this
are:
We value the on-going personal and professional development of learning leaders throughout the college community
We value community partnerships for workforce development
We value the thoughtful use of technology to enhance learning
Video conferencing capabilities at
Valencia College are an integral component in
realizing and achieving the mission and values of the
college. Video conferencing, much like the tier classrooms
at Valencia, is part of the Learning Technology Alternative
Delivery group whose mission is to facilitate the
introduction, development, and use of media and
communication technologies and services within the college.
As the college grows and the technology advances, video
conferencing will greatly benefit those who employ these
technologies and services in the teaching and learning
environment as well as the administrative activities of the
college.
Purpose and Goals
Central to the goal of video
conferencing at Valencia College is a cultural
shift towards a more collaborative and flexible method by
which disparate departments or groups are able to work
together toward a common goal and do so expeditiously. The
video conferencing will, in the long term, allow for desktop
to desktop communication along with the current capability
of conferencing between the designated “Video Conference”
rooms on each of Valencia’s campuses.
Our goal is to make the entire system
as easy to use as possible; as easy as simply placing a
phone call. To that end, we have provided instructions to
assist you in scheduling the video conference rooms and have
outlined some important etiquette rules. Please read
through all of them and make a mental note of them when you
are in a video conference. If you have received the tier classroom training, then the video conferencing element is
simply the next step in the process and is also very easy.
It is also very reassuring to know that the video conference
rooms have the same excellent support system that the tier classrooms have.
