Live Video Conferencing
.
Getting Connected is Quick & Easy!
.
As an online faculty member at the University of North Carolina,
Dr. Newberger knows the benefits of video conferencing and offers them to you!
.
All you need is:
a computer with high speed internet access
a telephone (preferably with speaker phone if a group is gathered together)
an inexpensive web camera (see photo above on right).
The price of most webcams ranges between $19 - $99. See the list of online sellers below.
That's it!
To connect: 
Click here to test your computer to make sure it is ready to connect. You can do this at any time.
Then, before the meeting, Dr. Newberger will send you the web address where we will meet to get instantaneously connected.
The Benefits of Virtual Meetings
Conflicts can be Handled Privately and Discretely without any unwanted fanfare.
No Matter Where You are Located you can receive needed help.
Meetings are Virtually Instantaneous. Face to face sessions that might have otherwise required a cross-country trip to your church and sufficient lead time to arrange it can now be conducted with a few clicks of a mouse.
Unable to get Everyone Together at the Same Place? Not a Problem. Up to 15 different locations can be linked together audibly and visually at the same time! If someone in your group is out of town and has access to a computer and telephone, they can participate in the scheduled meeting as if he or she were physically present with you. Progress and group continuity is maintained without time-consuming delays!
The Meetings can be Very Content-Rich! In addition to seeing and hearing each other, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and the like can also be displayed and read by all. A whiteboard for writing is available as well. Participants can also communicate via text chat. Rather than being limiting, meetings can take on a whole new dimension.
