Emerson Pratt gives an overview of the development and use of the technology that allows lecture theatres within the Dunedin campus and also in Christchurch and Wellington to be “Interlinked” so students and staff in these locations can collaborate in the presentation of lectures. It allows lecturers of large first year courses to deliver fewer repeat lectures, and means open lectures can be attended by much larger audiences. The solution developed is more flexible than traditional video conferencing systems and has also been achieved at a fraction of the cost of proprietary black box solutions. This project was the winner of the inaugural NZ Tertiary IT Conference innovations award (sponsored by Microsoft) presented in September 2009.
