Abstract [eng] There are no centralized support and motivation system for using videoconferencing at schools in Lithuania. In this research project were measured advantages of Information Communication Technologies for learning and teaching process, analyzed videoconference’s experience at schools of United Kingdom and treated situation of Lithuanian schools connected to academic and research network LITNET. Also, there were proposed possible videoconferencing solutions according to school network connection type. The main problem of organizing videoconferences at schools – lack of teacher’s qualification and knowledge of videoconferences. There was created distance learning course “Videoconferences at schools” with purpose to encourage schools to use videoconferences. The object of this work is videoconferencing in Lithuania Schools connected to academical computer network LITNET. The problems: - Not all schools have enough bandwidth and required connectivity quality to use good quality videoconferencing (mostly connected using wireless technology); - For using videoconferences schools need to buy special equipment; - Videoconferencing needs careful planning; there are needs of special knowledge and experience for school personal. Use of videoconferences at schools provides great possibilities to active pupils learning; also provide content from remote locations. For schools that are connected with low bandwidth technology (wireless) the best solution to implement videoconferencing is to use one way streaming or to use Web conferencing. Schools that are connected via optics and DSL lines have possibilities to use good quality conferencing with special equipment, but they need special personal knowledge. In this project is prepared distance learning course to encourage school’s teachers to try videoconferencing technologies at their schools.
