Minnesota State University taps Web conferencing software

The Department of Education at Minnesota State University Mankato has integrated WiredRed’s e/pop Web Conferencing into its administrator and initial licensure programs to reduce time and cost needed for travel.
Candidates completing initial licensure are observed a minimum of eight times, with each observation lasting 90 minutes. But the use of e/pop eliminates this by simulating face-to-face observations, job performance reviews, and supervisory meetings.
Loretta DeLong, an associate professor in the Educational Leadership Program, is responsible for supervising the internship program. She uses e/pop to meet in real time with supervising administrators, who may be located in separate buildings, and students.
"I can do everything with e/pop that I would in person," said DeLong. "It's made the process of supervising the intern process so much easier, without the driving time. At the same time, I can also introduce a new technology to the students -- I have actually incorporated it into the class syllabus. So not only are they learning to run school operations, they can take what they've learned about Web conferencing technology with them as they start their careers."
Minnesota State Mankato's IT department deployed e/pop Web Conferencing on a Windows 2003 server. Because e/pop runs on cable, DSL and T1 Internet connections, Page and DeLong are able to connect from Minnesota State Mankato's gigabit Internet connection to school districts that have varying bandwidth capabilities.
