Video Conference
An Exciting New Approach to Continuing Education

~~~ A Video Conference is the SAME as a Live Classroom Seminar ~~~

What is a Video Conference?
It is a Streaming Video over the Internet that will connect you to a Continuing Education course without the inconvenience, loss of time, or expense of traveling to a central site to attend a CE course. You will be able to view the broadcast from the comfort of your home, office, or any other quiet place that there is a computer with an Internet connection. The process is simple. You will log-in to a website at the time of your scheduled seminar and view the broadcast.  NEWS FLASH ~ Texas Administrators are able to take an unlimited number of hours by Video Conference!  A Video Conference will satisfy the 6 hour classroom hour requirement for Texas!

How does a Video Conference work?
You will need to be at a computer with a high-speed broadband internet connection using Explorer 6 or 7, Windows XP or Vista, enable Java script and/or Flash, and have a sound card with speakers.  After you have registered for a video conference, you will receive an email containing the website link for the Video Conference and the website where to download the handouts.  At the schedued date and time of your selected course, you will simply log-in to the broadcast and view the broadcast.

How Do You Know that I am Viewing the Entire Time?
When you log into the Video Conference, we are provided with information that allows us to know when viewers are connected or disconnected.  We also use exercises and questions that require you to respond at various points through out the conference.  And at the completion of the conference there are materials that will be faxed to us certifiying that you have attended and completed the conference.

What are the Benefits of a Video Conference?

  • Reduced time away from your facility
  • Take classes in a cost-effective manner by eliminating travel expenses
  • Convenience! Take classes from the comfort of your own home or office
  • Receive CE hours for your staff with you on the same broadcast (requires additional fees)
  • Receive In-Service hours for your staff with you on the same broadcast with NO additional fees 

How is a Video Conference Scheduled?
Most video conferences are scheduled in 2 hour blocks from 11:00am-1:00pm Central Standard Time on Monday through Friday.  Please refer to our Video Conference schedule for specific topics and times.

How much does a Video Conference Cost?
Registration fees are $55 for a 2 hour course.  However, fees vary depending on the number of hours taken.  Please refer to our Registration Form for the fees for individual courses.
