LOS ANGELES, CA, June 14th, 2007 – In the “olden†days, in order to attend college, you had to physically go to a campus and take courses. Wellington College is using MegaMeeting.com’s browser based video and web conferencing software to dramatically change the way students access college and college courses.
According to Randy Ellingson, President of Wellington College, “we have MegaMeeting setup in our classroom. Students away from college can participate as if in personâ€. Ellingson goes on to say that he is hopeful that by using web and video conferencing services, Wellington will be able extend the College’s reach and allow more people to attend its courses.
In addition to allowing students to “virtually†attend classes, Wellington currently uses MegaMeeting to perform seminars, conduct internal meetings and train employees.
Some of the benefits Wellington receives from MegaMeeting’s web and video conferencing software, include saving money and of course giving the College access to more students that can’t physically attend the College.
The specific features of MegaMeeting that Wellington implements most often are the video conferencing capabilities that allow meeting attendees to see each other, the built-in audio (VoIP), PowerPoint presentations and the Screen Sharing feature that allows a host in a MegaMeeting to present and share his or her computer screen with all attendees in the meeting.
