Distance Learning Facilities

Longwood College, a premier public college located in Farmville, Va., is known for housing one of the most modern, technologically sophisticated School of Business and Economics facilities of any business school in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The business school's classes are held in the sixteen student classrooms located in the recently renovated Hiner building. Two of the classrooms have been constructed specifically for use as distance learning facilities and feature audio, video and data ties to students at remote campuses. One of these rooms will even be fully equipped and connected to the South Side Regional Education Network as well as 50 other classrooms across the Commonwealth. By adding videoconferencing technology on-site, the college's School of Business and Economics is able to enhance its course portfolio by bringing in classes not currently offered on campus, and vice-versa by transmitting current school class offerings at a distance to students in remote locations.
The two distance learning classrooms, seating forty students each, are housed on the school's ATM switch which is connected directly to the Internet by a DS-3 pipe. Each room also contains a dual processor VTEL LC 5000 videoconferencing unit, NEC MultiSync MT 820 projectors to display images in full scale on a large screen at the head of the room, Marshall furniture, Elmo Document Cameras, VCR's, Crestron Control Systems, DVD Players, Parkervision P/T/Z Cameras, Biamp Mixers, JVC Monitors, and Extron Switchers. The Whitlock Group completed the full integration and installation of the project.
