Distance Learning 

Salisbury University facilities for providing videoconferencing services are thru the State of Maryland's IVN (  Interactive Video Network ) system. Their is a dedicated classroom in Caruthers Hall, room 112 for supporting this task.

This room is equipped with a Polycom 8000 codec, seating for twelve students, two video projectors and a fully equipped teaching station. The Polycom codec has its own dedicated network connection in addition to the computer located on the teaching station. The room is also equipped with wireless internet for student use.

At this time the university only supports TCP/IP connections and will not support ISDN "direct dial" conferences.

A daily schedule for the "IVN" network can be found at:

Salisbury University also has two dedicated satellite dishes that will provide C or Ku band satellite downlinks along with digital satellite receivers for PBS ALS along with other services.

All services can be feed to any point located on the campus by our own internal cable television system or several fixed locations using dedicated fiber optic cabling.
