Movi is videoconferencing software that allows for distance learning by enabling students and teachers to communicate and collaborate from anywhere using a PC or laptop. It provides high-quality video and audio calling as well as screen sharing capabilities. Movi has been used successfully in educational institutions to increase interaction between students located in different areas and allow collaboration on projects remotely. Some benefits highlighted include its ease of use and ability to improve communication and decision making during distance meetings.

2. These days there is no limitation to communicate to
anyone from anywhere and anytime, which mean
flexibility and accessibility of development. For instance,
imagine that you are a student who do not want to
attend the class for some constrains that resist you, how
you are going to communicate?! Movi allow you to solve
the problem .
Movi is software that offers a cost-effective, easy to use
video solution ,allowing people to use personal VC to
connect to colleagues and clients in either a point-to-
point or multi point VC call using PC or laptop units.
Importantly, Movi is a standards based
videoconferencing solution which is interoperable with
Videolinq’s existing site based VC units, network
bridging infrastructure, telecommunications formats and
network management tools that make up the 100+ site
Videolinq network. In addition to a PC or Macintosh
(available in Movi version 4), users require an Internet
connection, camera, microphone and speakers. Movi
converts any PC or Mac into a business-quality video
system providing the user with the ability to interpret
facial expressions, body language and voice intonation
allowing organizations to achieve high levels of personal
communication over distance and accelerate decision
making processes. Movi can be used on an internal
private network or via external Public IP network across
the internet. Participant numbers using the external
mode are dependent on the necessary availability of
external ports on associated network infrastructure.
The objectives of using it is to:
-allow student-teacher, student-student to communicate
to each other.
-allow students and teacher to produce creative work
from anywhere .
- to easily extend the benefits of videoconferencing to
everyone.
-allow multiple people to engage over distance.

4. Advantages of Movi:
-enables PC users with a webcam to join an enterprise-
wide video-conferencing network.
- communicate visually with colleagues for enhanced
productivity from anywhere they need to work .
-makes it possible to easily extend the benefits of
videoconferencing to everyone.
-Movi enables IT professionals to rapidly deploy PC-
based video conferencing to the entire organization.
-Presenting computer graphics quickly and easily is
critically important to most distance education events.
The OCS client cannot send or receive computer
graphics at higher than 320x240 (webcam resolution)
when connected to the IU video bridge. The Movi client
and the IU Video Bridge supports BFCP for computer
graphics presentation, so that Movi users can send and
receive high-resolution computer graphics when in a
conference on the IU Video Bridge.
-Movi installs relatively quickly. Our experience thus far
is that most users download, install, sign in, and are
connected to their first conference in under three
minutes.
-Movi proved easy to use; it allowed efficient resolution -
in the decision-making process as data can be shared
and appropriate changes made by all participants in the
meeting thus promoting collaboration between members
and group ownership of the decision rather than passing
it off as someone else’s responsibility.
Limitation of Movi:
-The primary risk (as with all desktop videoconferencing
software solutions) is that we have no control over the
particular idiosyncrasies of the Movi user's machine, or
the network segment from which the user will connect.
-limited control over the videoconferencing experience
from user to user and session to session.

5. -Using the keyboard for DTMF input does not work in
Movi 3.0.
-When distributing the Movi upgrade, only HTTP(S)
URLs should be used as the software upgrade URL in
TMS. Linking to a file share may cause Movi to become
temporarily unresponsive.
-Due to application-specific support for Windows APIs,
not all applications can be shared with Movi at this time.
Platforms known to cause presentation sharing issues in
Movi include Adobe AIR and GTK+.
-Due to BFCP implementations on MPS and MCU, Movi
may not be able to send duo video without interworking.
To force VCS interworking, disable SIP registrations on
the MPS or MCU.
-Have to install software.Requires hardware for video
and audio echo cancellation(or headsets).
How does it support learning:
Each learner has his own needs, interests, learning
styles so they are different, Movi enables individuals at
their desktops with the full functionality and advantages
previously limited to room-based VC environments.
Student can share their information so it can serve
collaboration, communication and interaction between
them. Additionally it increases individual and group
efficiency as the message or decision can be inclusive of
all parties simultaneously rather than making contact
with individuals repeatedly for additional clarification
before a consensus is able to be reached. Also student
can personalize their response and get reinforcement for
it.
Examples of usage :
(1) SINGAPORE, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Today, TANDBERG
announced new advanced capabilities for Movi, its business-quality PC
video solution, for collaboration without boundaries. Movi delivers the
total package for mobile video collaboration by coupling the ability to

6. share content with its already best-in-class video and audio capabilities
and centralized management.
"This Movi upgrade delivers a series of exciting and critical new capabilities
that add significant value to the TANDBERG mobility solution," said Ira
Weinstein, analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research. "Movi's new user
interface makes it easier to use and more intuitive for users. However, the key
enhancement is the ability to share PC content with other session
participants. This new capability allows Movi users to not only participate in,
but also to host high impact, rich media collaboration sessions."
(2) ccording to Michael Young, Director of Telemedicine at the University
of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Movi has
enabled physicians and patients from all over North Carolina to
connect and collaborate with doctors at the Cancer Center, resulting in
greater patient care.
"Movi is an integral part of our video solution and enables our doctors to
collaborate using their PCs no matter their geographic location," said Young.
"Now, with the added capability of standards based content sharing on Movi,
our physicians can collaborate at an even higher level than before; sharing
documents and applications from the field while engaging in face-to-face
communications. The end result is a higher level of care for our patients
across the entire state and a level of collaboration that was not possible
before without significant and time consuming travel."
(3) A request was made by Brisbane North Institute of TAFE (BNIT) to trial
Movi 3 software in an effort to reduce the ever increasing travel time
spent by BNIT staff who are regularly required to travel between
campuses – in some instances a 100 kilometre round trip - within one
of the largest (geographically) metropolitan TAFE Institutes. In addition
to decreasing travel time, it is anticipated that Movi usage will increase
the level of work commitment and individual productivity among trial
participants due to time savings realised through a reduction in the
disruption of workflow, a reduction in the misinterpretation of key
communications and the opportunity for immediate confirmation of
information. It is anticipated that the enhanced personal communication
clarity and immediacy of contact and information sharing that is
afforded by Movi will contribute to the creation of a new level of
cohesion and collaborative decision making among trial participants.
Trial strengths that BNIT state : a number of trail participants
Movi'spersonalised video provides the undisputed advantage of
meeting over distance in a face to face environment. Movi enables
individuals at their desktops with the full functionality and advantages

7. previously limited to room-based VC environments. Real time
interactive video communication allows users to experience the human
elements involved in working with others. From a participant
perspective Movi proved easy to use; it allowed efficient resolution in
the decision-making process as data can be shared and appropriate
changes made by all participants in the meeting thus promoting
collaboration between members and group ownership of the decision
rather than passing it off as someone else’s responsibility.
And the weakness of movi as BNIT state : the use of Movi requires an
initial degree of operational training and support in order to deliver
quality audio visual user experiences. Users have different
expectations and understandings of Movi usage parameters. Degraded
user experience was often associated with unrealistic user
understandings of the limitations of the Movi platform. This was evident
in the use of inappropriate outdoor and other environments which
produced unacceptable ambient and wind noise levels and visual
environments with either extreme or limited lighting availability or
excessive visual clutter that affected the visual quality of the user
experience.
