Enriching Global Learning with Video
Conferencing
The university is also using collaboration
to conduct global learning programs in
nursing and community health. Instructors
use WebEx to connect SJSU students
to classrooms in Europe, enabling them
to exchange ideas and share academic
experiences. Students from different
continents can easily work together in
groups, and teachers can invite guest
speakers from any location to share their
knowledge with students.

By using a mix of synchronous and
asynchronous learning and various
teaching modes—in-person, online, and
hybrid—faculty members are better able to
keep students engaged.

“Collaboration technologies let us use
a wider variety of learning modalities to
enrich the students’ experience,” says
Tammy McKinnon, an associate professor
at the Valley Foundation School of Nursing

develop technology skills, which are
increasingly valued by employers.”

Giving Advertising Students Real-World
Experiences
John Delacruz, an advertising professor
at SJSU’s School of Journalism and Mass
Communications, is using collaboration
technologies to help students pitch ideas
and get feedback on their work from
leading advertising agencies in New York,
London, and California. He uses Cisco
video conferencing and other tools to
bring ad agencies into the learning space,
host live interactive critique sessions, and
conduct his own tutorials.
