Description |
ERA (Enabling Remote Activity) is an Open University project that supports remote
participation by students in fields studies trips. Using a wireless network, digital
stills and video cameras and two way audio communications, students are enabled to
gather data and otherwise interact with colleagues in remote locations.
The project has supported Earth Sciences summer schools in 2006 (Kindrogan) - 2007
(Heath and Reach), providing local network access and internet connectivity to the
field. Future summer school support is planned for 2008.
This website will tell you about the project, the equipment we've used, and introduces
the team. |
