CARA
& ECONET Wireless recently installed
'Life Size' video conference equipment
into a College of Health Science Lecture Hall on the University of Zimbabwe's
main campus.
The purpose of
this project is to enable 'Virtual Lectures' to be streamed in, from
around the world, as supplementary lectures and seminars for students and
lecturers at the College of Health Science and the Faculties of Science and
Veterinary Science. With a screen in place, a number of speakers,
and the necessary bandwidth, students and lecturers will be able to view the
lecture slides and those participating from outside Zimbabwe.
The
official launch is this Friday 29th June 2012 at the
University of Zimbabwe, from 9 -12pm. If you would
like to be part of this, either in Harare or from London (we will be connecting
virtually from this address: 10 Bow Lane, London, EC4M 9AL).

Healthcare Trust Zimbabwe on info@nationalhealthcaretrust.org.zw or CARA (The Council for Assisting Refugee Academics) at 90 London Road, London SE1 6LN. Tel +44 (0) 207 021 0880 or D/L 0882 or Send us an Email, otherwise visit the Website directly
with details of their teaching background in the Health, Natural and Veterinary
Sciences and where they are based. If you are already committed to lecturing a
subject elsewhere, your lecture could be streamed simultaneously into the
CARA/Econet Lecture Hall. For those who would be keen to engage from their home
lap top (+ camera), there are a licences that will enable you to engage with
this programme via an IP address. Please contact us for more details.
