Distance Learning Training


By working with educators to discover, develop, and deliver distance learning technology, we empower them to fully utilize their technology investments. PCS TelePresence 3D Distance Learning Training employs a blended delivery system that brings together the power of onsite instruction and the use of distance learning technologies to deliver training remotely.

Orientation Component

Onsite or Via Video (up to 15 participants) – call for pricing and delivery options

Participants will receive an overview of TelePresence technology and its practical application in the classroom. Participants will learn about class delivery, collaboration opportunities, and techniques. Participants will also discover virtual field trips, and virtual field trip providers and resources. Participants will be introduced to the various peripherals needed for successful distance learning class delivery and implementation.

This course will provide:

  • Discovery of TelePresence technology applications and peripherals
  • Discovery of class delivery examples and opportunities
  • Discovery of collaboration opportunities
  • Discovery of virtual field trips and providers

Practice & Skills Component (3 hours | ½ day)

Onsite $750 / Via Video $500 (up to 15 participants)

Participants will develop basic TelePresence skills such as call connection and disconnection, camera positioning, and switching among input sources (e.g., interactive white boards, document cameras, DVD players, etc.). In addition, recommendations on lesson development, incorporating the various technology devices, along with online course management systems are taught.

This course will provide:

  • Development of camera and codec control skills
  • Develop camera movement, position, and proximity skills for use with instruction
  • Development of switching techniques
  • Development of presentation mode skills

Implementation & Evaluation Component (7 hours | 2 days)

Onsite $2,000 / Via Video $1,500 (up to 15 participants)

Participants will deliver a lesson of their choice over video, using appropriate peripherals as necessary. Participants will deliver their lessons either individually or with partners, to another small group and then switch roles. Both groups will provide immediate feedback to each other.

This course will assist in:

  • Delivering a lesson over video using the appropriate peripherals
  • Delivering a lesson over video employing the proper techniques learned in previous 3D training
  • Delivering constructive feedback to other participants
