Distance Education Solutions

Overcome time, space and geographical barriers and tap the expertise, innovation and knowledge of anyone -- anytime -- anywhere through distance education. CBE is partnered with the leaders in visual communications, Tandberg, Cisco and HP, to help you bring real-time distance education solutions to the classroom. These solutions along with our implementation and support can help you transform your districts education model.

Features:

Video communication solutions enhance K-12 institutions through:

• Curriculum enhancement by providing classroom collaboration, specialty subjects, dual enrollment and advance placement classes, guest speakers and virtual field trips.
• Staff development with continuing education training, sharing best practices, and mentoring.
• More efficient and effective administration with board and staff meetings, interviews and ad hoc sessions.
• Community outreach with job and employee training, community education, public safety programs and education, and college credit courses.

Deploying this type of solution in your environment can minimize the social, emotional and educational impact of school absence on children and provide:

• A seat for the child in their own classroom
• Access to classroom without compromise to health or safety, whether the child is in the hospital, at home or in a satellite facility.
• A connection with the school that is real-time and interactive.

Benefits:

Experience has shown that leveraging your network to provide video communication solutions has produced the following benefits for educators and kids:

• Staying connected prevents feelings of isolation
• Kids experience a continuity of instruction
• Children maintain a sense of normalcy
• Classmates develop an understanding about a child’s illness
• Returning to school is easier academically and socially
