Human communication and videoconferencing

 

Abstract

Videoconferencing systems are multimedia communication systems, which have the ability to transfer both sound but pictures thus allowing audiovisual communication. In spite of many advantages, communication by means of videoconferencing systems has certain disadvantages compared to face-to-face communication, which were proved in many researches including the one taken few years ago on the students of Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb.

Although the initial attitude of students towards videoconferencing is positive, there are certain situations in which they prefer face-to-face communication. Reasons for this preference are certain limitations that videoconferencing systems have in transferring nonverbal communication signs, which make this type of communication different from the face-to-face communication.
