University of Thessaly

From Researching Virtual Initiatives in Education

The University of Thessaly supports videoconference and tele-education over IP, videoconference, Video on Demand, and live transmission of TV programs and local radio station program through Internet. All are provided through the university's Network Management Centre, in cooperation with GUNET.

The Network Centre of the University has already set up a fully-equipped videoconference room in Trikala, for the Department of Physical Training Science. The video teleconference room has been successfully used for synchronous distance education sessions in physical training science issues for the students and for similar postgraduate courses attendance.

The main campus is in Volos, Thessaly, Greece, and was founded in 1984. Other campuses are operated in Larissa, Trikala and Karditsa. The university comprises four schools—Humanities, Engineering, Agricultural Sciences and Health Sciences—and has three independent departments focusing on Physical Education and Sports Science, Veterinary Medicine and Economics.
