Abstract

PCF3 // Teleconferencing in the Caribbean revolves around the University of the West Indies (UWI). Being a regional University, it caters to the higher educational needs of 16 countries in the Caribbean. It has been offering courses through the teleconference system since 1982. However, the network has been undergoing various changes and remains robust. This paper attempts to provide a compendious account of the genesis, status and prospects of this teleconferencing network and advances it as a medium for widening UWI’s reach throughout the region.
