Schools

This challenging area has been the mainstay of our work since 2001. During this time we have pioneered innovative educational videoconferencing into the classrooms of Scottish Schools, particularly Glasgow schools.

Prescience Communications is a trusted content provider on the Joint Academic Network (JANET) Videoconferncing Service. We have worked with Learning Teaching Scotland, local authorities, schools and colleges throughout Scotland. Our work has been internationally reported, and presented at both the Scottish Learning Festival in Glasgow and Edinburgh's E-Live Festival. The method we have used over the last 10 years has been described in the paper "Educational Videolinks as Mr Benn Immerssions", which will be presented at the 2010 EDEN Conference in Valencia, and which is attached to this page.
