The vice chairman of the college’s Board of Trustees participated in this month’s Board of Trustees meeting on Feb. 24 using Cisco Telepresence Jabber, a desktop videoconferencing software.
Unable to be in the area during the meeting, Vice Chairman Neil Kelleher relied on Instructional Technologies, which set up the videoconferencing from a remote location. Kelleher was able to see meeting content and the members in the board room simultaneously.
This technology allows board members to participate if they cannot be here on campus and also has applications for our academic community as well. Cisco Telepresence Jabber is being used in many ways here at Hudson Valley for IVT Distance Learning, college employment interviews, departmental meetings and to connect with guest speakers.
The software is easily installed by Information Technology Services and support for Cisco Telepresence Jabber is provided by Instructional Technologies.
If you have a need to conduct a videoconference, please contact Eric Kiel of Instructional Technologies/Viking Video Technologies at 629-7625 or e.kiel@hvcc.edu.
