Lesson Participating in audio and

4 video conferences in a safe

and responsible manner

 Safety requires responsibility, appropriateness, and common sense. So,
you should know what is acceptable and safe and what isn’t in using
Information and Communications Technology.

This lesson will acquaint you with what an audio and video
conferencing is and to participate in a safe and responsible manner.
Through audio and video conferencing, you can save a lot of time and money.
It's an effective communication – not only can you hear people's voices,
through video conferencing you can also see the people you are talking to, see
their expressions, body language and instant responses.

What’s In

We are now in the 21st century learning and learning is the most
relevant, useful and in-demand skills in today’s schools. We have already
learned about blogging and how to share blogs in a safe and responsible
manner. Did you update your blogs?

Have you ever tried to talk to your loved ones through video call? Our
next lesson will be about audio and video conferencing and how to use it in a
safe and responsible manner. Are you excited for this lesson?

What’s New

How are you coping with our lesson? I hope you are curious about the
activities we will discuss in this module.

Activity 1: “What’s In”

Let’s take a look at these pictures which are usually used in audio and
video conferencing:

5
 1. Software - the programs and
other operating information used by
a computer.

2. Sign in -
in computer security,
logging in (or
logging on, signing in,
or signing on) is the
process which
an individual gains
access to a
computer system by
identifying and
authenticating
themselves.

3. Virtual meeting is when people

around the world, regardless of
their location, use video, audio,
and text to link up online.

4. Links -the link is the physical

and logical network component
used to interconnect hosts.

5. Password - secret word or

phrase that must be used to gain
admission to something.

How do people communicate with each other especially in this time of

pandemic? There are many tools that can be used in communication. One of
these is through audio and video conference.

6
Activity 2: “Who Am I”

As a grade six pupil, you are familiar with class meetings. Do you know
that there are also audio and video meetings or conferencing? What are some
of the things you do in setting up these meetings to make sure that they run
smoothly? What do you do to prepare for the meeting and to conduct the entire
meeting? How do they help us in everyday living?

Can you identify these tools and software that you can use in
communicating with other people? These are some tools you can use where
you can chat and see the person that you are talking to. The difference in this
meetings lie on the equipment used. Wide screens and monitors are usually
used for video conferencing through different softwares and sites.

One of the platforms that is frequently used in audio and video

conferencing is the Google Meet. It works very well for individuals and group
of people. Without any of the applications/tools it is very impossible to
participate in video conference. We will be using the google meet as our
platform.

How to use Google Meet in video conferencing?

1. Install Meet using device.

7
2. Launch Meet and sign in to your google account. If you do not have an
account, click create an account.

3. After signing in, you can click “new meeting”, but if the meeting is hosted
by another person, click “join meeting” after you receive the link or the code
to join the meeting.

4. You can now start video conference with other people after you are admitted
by the host.

5. When participating in audio and video conferencing, it is very important to

observe the guidelines and protocols. Be safe and responsible.

8
 These are the protocols when participating in an audio and video
conferences:

✓ Attendance of the participants will be checked

✓ After testing your speakers and video cameras, you are expected to turn
them off
✓ Only after you are recognized by the moderator should you turn your
speaker and video camera on
✓ Turn on your cameras so your teacher can see you
✓ Wear decent attires
✓ Observe one device per user. Never open account simultaneously through
a mobile phone, laptop and desktop

Some of the guidelines when participating an audio and video

conferences:

✓ Be punctual and courteous.

✓ No multi-tasking, the people can see you unless you turn off your
camera.
✓ If it is improper for a face-to-face meeting, then it doesn't work
for video either.
✓ Make sure you have good light.
✓ No eating
✓ Do video calls from your desk or other appropriate location.

You can also use other tools/apps in video conferencing like Facebook
messenger, skype and others.

What is It

What do you think are other types of communication? Have you tried
logging in to access content in a website before?

What are other tools and soft wares that we can use in audio and video
conferencing? How will you participate in this kind of communication?
I would like you to learn the difference between an audio conferencing
from video conferencing and its advantages and disadvantages.
Audio Conferencing is a telephone meeting conducted between
multiple separate callers (three callers define a "conference"). Audio
conferencing is sometimes called "teleconferencing" and traditionally means
using a telephone instrument to conduct a business meeting. It is also
sometimes called "teleconferencing" and traditionally means using a telephone
instrument to conduct a business meeting.

9
Advantages of Audio Conferencing

1. Telephones are widely accessible and generally provide an easy method

for meeting attendees to join into a conference session.
2. Users of telephones can easily operate their telephones and connect to
locations both within and outside of their home and office.
3. Teleconferences are quick, easy and generally widely accessible for
participants.

Disadvantages of Audio Conferencing

1. Telephones can vary significantly in their ability to produce clear and

intelligible audio. For example, the quality of audio produced by a cellular
telephone can be quite different than the quality of audio produced from
a conference room speakerphone.
2. The varying degree of audio quality introduced into an audio conference
by callers can negatively affect the overall meeting. In some cases, the
noise induced by the lowest quality audio conference participants can be
so great as to become disruptive to all call participants.

You can take pictures during the conference like this:

Video Conferencing

Video conferencing is the use of video and audio devices to connect

two or more people in different locations on the globe, simultaneously and in
real time, using the internet. It is also known as video teleconferencing.

Advantages of Video Conferencing

1. Reduces travel expenses

2. Increases productivity
3. It’s an effective communication
4. Builds good relationships with your family, classmates, teachers and
friends
5. Keep connected to your friends. classmates, teachers and family and
improves teamwork

10
Disadvantages of Video Conferencing

1. Less personal contact and understanding

2. Network instability and time lag
3. Technical issues on teacher-student hands on activities
4. More stress and less organization
5. Even though it is easy to conduct the conference at any time, it is
practically difficult for people working in different time zones.
