AVer teams up with VCfL to provide affordable Video Conferencing to Schools
Milton Keynes, England, 21st November 2013: AVer, a major global provider of presentation, security surveillance and video conferencing solutions, is excited to announce a new partnership with the VCfL (Video Conferencing for learning) Project to launch the AVer ClassHD, a cost effective video conferencing solution to UK schools.
Since the start of the new school year in early September, a pilot scheme has been rolled out in several schools across the UK, enabling teachers and pupils to trial the AVer ClassHD video conferencing solution and link up with networks around the globe. Redden Court academy Havering is linked with a French school, Ardleigh Green Juniors Havering primary school is communicating with NASA in the USA and Chafford School Havering has multipoint connections with JVCS Content providers. Oaks Park High School in Redbridge will be receiving professional development courses from the Geography Association for their teaching staff. The benefits of this are endless, allowing pupils and teachers to interact with global and national users without the expensive costs and time constraints of travelling.
The AVer ClassHD is perfectly suited to the needs of schools wanting a simple to install, easy to use system allowing them to video conference securely. The cooperation with VCfL includes offering full on-site installation and curriculum support to advise users on how to get the best from their system. Technicians will also receive hands-on support to configure and install the hardware onto their networks and register with the JVCS (Janet) content provider. Senior management teams are supported with implementation strategies to ensure that video conferencing is embedded fully into the curriculum. In addition, the AVer ClassHD fully complies with recent guidelines published by the UK Department for Education, advising educational establishments on the use of video conferencing systems through their broadband service.
As video conferencing becomes more and more important to education, AVer is proud to develop and supply the systems required to increase the interaction and engagement needed for students to succeed in the 21st century.
Mina Patel, Director VCfL quotes “AVer have provided an affordable high quality HD codec for the education sector, which delivers secure, e-safe video conferencing through the Janet (UK) network. The price includes installation and curriculum support – both factors which are crucial for successful use of VC. I firmly believe, AVer ClassHD will revolutionise educational content delivery through high quality secure conferencing and ensure that all education establishments use VC effectively to enrich their curriculum opportunities”
