LEARNING NETWORK of VERMONT

	Trying to remember how to get to the web site for scheduling your own conferences? It's here...

	The Learning Network of Vermont (LNV) takes educational videoconferencing to the next level, using the public Internet to connect the videoconference rooms of Vermont high schools to each other and the world. Using a new and easy-to-use conference scheduling system, LNV members can include outside sites anywhere on the Internet in their LNV meetings. The uses of the LNV are defined by the member sites. The original Vermont Interactive Learning Network (VILN) brought videoconferencing to Vermont's high schools beginning in 2000. Designed to work over a network of dedicated ATM connections ,it ceased functioning early in 2005 when the original support from Verizon came to an end. The new LNV uses each site's Internet connection instead of a dedicated network.
