The Albany Institute's Videoconference lessons are exciting real-time interactive programs. New York State certified teachers use objects, images and inquiry-based teaching methods to engage students in lessons that focus on art and history. Students are active participants in the lesson; they observe, analyze and express their ideas about objects and images presented.Videoconference lessons are intended for individual classes or groups of 30 students or fewer. In addition to a main camera, a special “document camera” allows for close inspection of individual objects. Each lesson is approximately 60 minutes and was co-written with K-12 teachers, and corresponds with New York State and National Standards.
