Who Is Using DVC?

Creating And Sharing Original Courseware With Others

With DVC, faculty can demonstrate a scientific technique or an art making process and share this demonstration in realtime with their class as they view it on their computer screens. All the computers would be connected together on a LAN. The demonstration is captured as live video with a camera that is plugged into the sending computer. Both the sending and receiving computers are using DVC software. At the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, CA, scientists are interacting with students around the world right from their own offices by using DVC.
