Coastal & Marine Video Conference Programs
OUR SYSTEM IS TEMPORARILY OFFLINE |
We hope to be able to offer programs again by winter of 2010 |
The Marine Education Center & Aquarium has been providing interactive distance learning programs to schools across the country since 1994, and has pioneered the use of multimedia and mobile videoconference equipment in delivering our programs. Our distance learning programs are available to educational institutions that have IP based video conference systems.
Many of our programs are taught from our multimedia
enhanced videoconferencing studio. We also have the capability to take
your class on interactive tank-by-tank tours of our public aquaria,
conduct behind the scenes programs, visit our invertebrate "touch tanks," and
collect water samples and organisms right from the edge of the Skidaway
River using our mobile video system (pictured at right).
Our program offerings reflect MECA's focus on ecosystems, coastal flora
and fauna, water quality issues, and the physical character of the coastal
and marine environments. Programs are presented by our teaching and marine
advisory faculty, educators from NOAA's Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary
office, and scientists from the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography.
Once we have our system back online, we will post a listing of available programs. Please direct inquiries to our Scheduling
Coordinator via email, or by calling (912) 598-2335. All
programs are fifty-minutes long and are available at a cost of $80 per
sesion.
