The Education Exchange will host a Video Collaboration Seminar on Friday, March 20, in partnership with University of North Georgia and Polycom to explore real-time streaming applications for education and healthcare. Hear about products and applications that can realize savings, enhance curriculum delivery, and foster greater collaboration among teachers and students. We welcome the attendance of anyone interested in grants for video conferencing equipment, resources for education available on the internet, telehealth, and collaboration between schools.
The seminar will take place at UNG’s new dining hall (Building 121). The street address for this location is 404 Georgia Circle, Dahlonega, GA 30597. Parking will be available in the Visitors’ Parking area labeled just northwest of the dining hall on the map.
