Video Conferencing Benefits For Students (Part 1)

Video Conferencing Benefits For Students (Part 1)

It is no secret that video conferencing has the potential to improve the college experience—whether through updating the admissions process, connecting students to alumni, or allowing professors to hold virtual office hours. But what about the student point of view?

As for current university student, I see how incorporating video conferencing into college life is not only beneficial to student's time at school, but also to the time after. Admittedly, it's important to convince students of the advantages of Tenveo video conferencing.

Study Groups Anytime, Anywhere

In most traditional colleges, the majority of students are concentrated within a 15-minute radius from campus. So video conferencing may not seem necessary, right? Well, let me tell you one thing—and I’m sure those with kids in college will understand—you can never underestimate the laziness of college kids.

Let's say I am in a class with someone who lives in an apartment off campus, and with our busy schedules, the only time we can meet to study for our upcoming midterm is late at night. Do you think I’m going to walk all the way over to their apartment or across campus to the library when it’s 12:00 AM and -10°F outside? Absolutely not. While college students often get their best work done in the wee hours of the morning, it can be both uncomfortable and downright dangerous to walk alone throughout the city. Video conferencing solves logistical issues and allows students to collaborate whenever works best, without any physical effort. With a platform like Tenveo, specific features such as screen sharing and white-board can help students work more efficiently as well.

Recorded Lectures Perfect for When You Just Can't Make That 8:00 AM Class.

Pressing Midterms and Assignments: While ideally students could plan ahead, sometimes you just need that extra hour of studying for your economics midterm. If students do have to miss class to work on more pressing assignments, recording the lecture means they won't fall behind too much in their other classes.

Sports and Other Extra Courses

For student-athletes, it is undeniably tough to balance school work with practices and competitions. Collegiate athletes often have to miss classes for games or tournaments and students involved with Mock Trial, Model UN, and debate teams may have to miss class from time to time for their respective events. With recorded lectures, these students can stay on track. Tenveo video conference can help students realize all these benefits with no doubt.
