Skype Group Video used for Senior Exercise Program
It is early days, however, Central Vermont Community Land Trust, has put together a chair Tai Chi/ Yoga program which they are delivering via Skype multipoint video. They held their first three-way video program with six participants at one senior housing site, seven at another site, and one at a third site with the promise of a couple more participants at the latter site next week.
They are using three of our DocBox units, configured with Skype for Business, connected to TVs. The class is hosted on a laptop computer Skype for Business, and a subscription for the Skype Group Conferencing service, at U.S. $9.00 per month. (That’s only nine dollars!)
The instructor, located at the originating site uses a bluetooth headset microphone. This isolates the site acoustically from the other two sites.
Great article. A very interesting use of technology to assist in the delivery of a program.
