Content Provider Displays

What are they?

These are three-day "booth-style" displays intended for agencies or organizations that provide content and/or content delivery services for interactive video distance learning. Video distance learning may encompass direct classroom instruction, teacher/staff professional development or any other learning opportunities specific to a P-20 participant or educational environment. They can be delivered/received via two-way interactive videoconference or through an online portal or virtual learning environment.

While it is important to share experiences with new technologies, these displays are not intended to promote products and should instead focus on lessons learned with emerging technologies. Presenters are encouraged to keep displays as vendor neutral as possible.
