Video Tele-Conferencing (VTC)
As part of a Forest Service purchase, NAFRI now has a Video Tele-Conferencing (VTC) system for your use.  This system was recently certified by AT&T to connect to other AT&T Certified Non-Forest Service VTC systems.  It was used during the 2008 course season to conduct a type of Distance Learning called Video Tele-Training (VTT).  To learn more about the capabilities, use in DL VTT mode, future improvements of this technology, or schedule a VTC please click on the Video Tele-Conferencing (VTC) hyperlink.
