Connecting with students in synchronous virtual sessions (webinars and videoconferences) is becoming an integral part of the education process. Even in an attendance setting, video conference can have its place by giving more options of interacting with students in specific circumstances. It also is a part of the University strategy to reduce its carbon footprint.
