AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - Zoom is the new Kleenex

Recorded April 23, 2021

What does the phrase “distance education” mean at our institutions? Is it the same as “online education” or are those distinct models? And are we going to change those definitions post-COVID? We discuss a few recent news stories that higher education is considering looking into possibly doing some sort of distance education model… whatever that might mean.

We also beat up each other over our past terrible, terrible choices in flexible AV furniture and moveable lecterns. We’ve all done it and it never works as well (or as often) as we’d like and costs way, way too much. Don’t do it!

Finally, we’re joined by Aaron Peterson, an engineer from an AV integration firm, who wrote in with comments about our previous discussion on “Is Higher Ed AV part of Pro AV?” and was brave enough to come on the show and talk with us. Thanks, Aaron!
