Videoconferencing provides students with the opportunity to learn by participating in two-way communication forums. Benefits that videoconferencing can provide in campus environments include:
- guest lecturers brought in classes from other institutions
- researchers collaborating with colleagues at other institutions on a regular basis without loss of time due to travel
- schools with multiple campuses collaborating and sharing professors
- faculty members participating in thesis defenses at other institutions
- administrators on tight schedules collaborating on budget preparation from different parts of campus
- tele-seminars
