Foil 10 BuenaVista

From Experiences using TangoInteractive in Distance Education Education Session SC98 Orlando -- November 8-12 1998. by Nancy McCracken


BuenaVista is a multi-platform audio/video conferencing system developed at NPAC.
Audio was constantly used for the instructor's lecture.
Without headphones, the students found it difficult to ask questions with audio and instead used Chat.
In the 97/98 academic year, there was insufficient bandwidth most of the time for video. It is available in the fall of 1998 and is used constantly during the current semester's class.
BuenaVista requires limited but consistent bandwidth and was the most sensitive part of the system to network conditions.
