Please listen to the archived webcast: “The Amazing Technicolor Symposium: Video-enabling an Online Conference.” It was presented by Stacy Austin-Li, analyst and China consultant for Wainhouse Research, and Dr. Rebecca Clothey, assistant professor of education and director of the higher education program at Drexel University.

At the same time as travel budgets are tightening and discretionary spending is being cut, the imperative for educators and academics to collaborate and connect with peers across the country and across the world is growing. This has given rise to a new brand of academic conference that happens completely or mainly online… a virtual symposium. This presentation examines the possibilities for using video to help establish a sense of community including: user generated video, on-demand video presentations, real-time video conferencing, and live streaming video based on the presenters’ experience co-hosting such an event in November of 2008.
