DIGITAL TEXT

TELECONFERENCE

Teleconference is the conference of people from different locations via telecommunication systems. It facilitates discussions among persons in different locations without their physical presence at the venue of the meeting. The word teleconference is a contraction of words telephone and conference. Computers and internet have given new meaning to it. Video conference and web conference etc are new milestones in this sphere of communication.
It facilitates inclusion of distant participants in a meeting, even at a shorter notice. It saves cost and problems of physical travel. It saves time. Conferences can be convened at a shorter notice.

In teleconferencing, a participant may leave at will and find out what he missed when he comes back. Summaries are instantly available. The applicability of teleconferencing in educational field is one of the most important examples of how telecommunication is being adopted in the learning system.
