Technology Used

What technologies and/or e-tools were available to you?

• The video-conferencing is provided by the Welsh Video Network (WVN) (http://www.wvn.ac.uk/). Swansea has several rooms (most recently in the School of Humanities). These allow for use of laptops, white boards etc which can be transmitted to other sites.

• More experienced users engage with the full range of facilities on offer; others just use it as an interactive seminar.
