Abstract

This tutorial provides a grounding in the fundamentals of video/audio/shared computer application conferencing systems that bring users at a distance into a common media space. It attempts to provide an understanding of both the technologies employed in these systems as well as what is known about their use and utility. An introduction to the concepts and terminology of video, audio, digital compression, transmission networks, and station equipment is provided. What people like and dislike about these systems, and the avenues that are being explored to overcome their shortcomings are discussed. In addition, there is a discussion of how these networks fit within an organizational context and what we know about what occurs in organizations when they are introduced.
