MANKATO – When adjunct nursing professor Jean Humphries shows up to her Friday morning class in Edina, 11 of her students are there and waiting.
The other 29 show up a moment later, all at the same time, when Humphries touches a screen and connects over the new Cisco TelePresence TX9200 system with a classroom in Wissink Hall at Minnesota State University.
Suddenly, the students in her Nursing Research class are virtually in two places at once, connected through life-size and life-like high-definition video and audio technology that far surpass interactive TV experiences.
