The Telelearning Research Suite is the centre for telelearning research and evaluation projects. This includes undergraduate training, continuing professional development, and continuing education initiatives, plus patient and public education projects. State-of-the-art telecommunications are permitted through cutting-edge equipment and high-speed connectivity.

Functionality:
This research suite is currently formatted in boardroom style for standard research presentations, with overhead microphones and 6 tables, with microphones and laptop connections, that can be arranged in various set-ups. The presenter has a portable touch screen panel connected by an umbilical cord to the podium. It is able to initiate H.320, H.323 or MPEG-2 calls. This panel shows the image that is being sent to the remote location(s).

A podium is provided that houses a document camera, local computer and videocassette recorder. This podium will have a LCD computer screen and a microphone for formal presentations. The room has two screens that show the near and far-end images as well as images from remote controlled cameras.
