Education Without Limits: IVC in Rural Schools
Welcome to the newest episode of PDTV! In this episode, we travel to a rural school in Park Valley, located an hour and a half from the nearest major city. Through the use of UEN’s Interactive Video Conferencing (IVC) equipment, Park Valley students are gaining greater access to educational opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. By video conferencing with Bear River High School, students can participate in additional courses and extracurricular activities without the long commute. This innovative approach helps ensure that distance is no barrier to a quality education.
