The Jisc Vscene videoconferencing service will be evolving over the coming year with help from our new strategic partner, Ajenta. With this new partnership, there will be improved focus on enhancing the teaching and learning experience. In this workshop you can discover how, through VScene, students learn through virtual classrooms, e-learning and MOOCS as well as enhanced interoperability with desktop applications and mobile devices. Teaching and learning has been enhanced for a community of 1200 physicists, academics, research staff and postgraduate students, whilst significantly reducing their annual teaching and collaboration overheads. How? By effective use of VScene.

- 39. Including purchases from eight separate institutions with their own procedures Time pressure
- 41. Provide as close to ‘gold standard’ of face-to-face RTC as possible Lecturer only has to: • Plug in laptop (optional) • Share content • Use physical buttons to select content input and audience/lecturer camera -- everything else is automatic All rooms have local PC, laptop or visualiser content options Fixed room systems have the advantage of set-and-forget implementation – reducing user interaction Upgraded VC rooms
- 42. Outreach Teacher engagement Research meetings Industry interactions Parallel course provision (outwith rooms) Summer School recording Webinars Plans to increase Vscene use
- 43. Ajenta has upgraded the hardware in eight SUPA VC rooms, optimised for Vscene • HD video • Fast content channel transfer • Complex scheduling • HD recording • Remote attendance • Parallel course delivery The SUPA Graduate School uses Vscene heavily … and has plans to increase usage Summary Vscene is central to almost everything that SUPA does
