Students attending Indiana University (IU) are now able to combine the collaborative benefits of a traditional classroom education with the ease of access that comes with distance learning, through video conferencing technology. In a report published last week, the university announced it had partnered with software provider Pexip to test the feasibility of a remote attendance policy, which would allow students to join live lectures remotely. The web-based video conferencing platform delivers dual views of the instructor and classmates, enables remote students to hear the instructor and any student speaking in the class, and allows remote students to join in-class discussions in real time.

For many students, online classes have given them the flexibility they need to pursue their education, but for universities, online education can cause in-person class numbers to dwindle, weakening the collaborative environment of traditional programs and campus life.

Universities like IU find themselves in an interesting predicament. The question is how much online education should universities push to remain competitive in the marketplace while making sure that registration in traditional programs isn’t cannibalized.

To address this concern, IU has given students the option to attend live lectures remotely, using a collaborative video conferencing platform. Ninety percent of IU’s students are commuters, who, at times, may have to forgo coming to campus because of factors outside of their control, like weather. Some students may have car trouble or can’t afford to pay for gas. others, like single parents, may have family responsibilities that prevent them from attending classes in person.

By bringing live lectures into the virtual space, motivated students now have more options and don’t have to decide between attending class or skipping. The remote attendance option has not been fully integrated into IU’s course offerings, but as more classes begin to take advantage of remote attendance, its expected utilization rate will increase.
