  • An Evaluation of Zoom and Microsoft Teams Video Conferencing
    An Evaluation of Zoom and Microsoft Teams Video Conferencing Software with Network Packet Loss and Latency An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Eric Baccei, Alexander Clopper, Taylan Sel Submitted to: Professor Mark Claypool Worcester Polytechnic Institute 1 Abstract Video conferencing is an increasingly important form of communication, but there are few studies on how network quality affects new conferencing services. We studied Zoom and Microsoft Teams, video conferencing tools targeted towards businesses. Our user study had users rate their experiences during simulated normal conversation with network latencies and packet drop. Our study found that the network conditions did not significantly change user ratings, but Zoom had higher ratings than Microsoft Teams overall. Analysis of our benchmarking results showed that although network traffic for both services varied with network conditions, Zoom had a more constant bitrate than Teams which aligned with the responses received in the user study. 2 Table of Contents Abstract 1 Table of Figures 4 1- Introduction 6 2 - Background and Related Work 9 2.1 - Video Compression Technology 9 2.1.1 - MPEG 9 2.1.2 - H.261 / H.263 10 2.1.3 - Comparison 12 2.2 - Digital Communication Architectures 13 2.2.1 - Peer to Peer Connection 13 2.2.1 - Client-Server Connection 14 2.3 - Network Protocols 15 2.3.1 - TCP 15 2.3.2 - UDP 16 2.3.3 - MQTT 17 2.4 - Tools

  • Continuity of Education Plan
    Continuity of Education Plan School District Lancaster County Career & Technology Center Superintendent Administrative Director, Stuart Savin Address 1730 Hans Herr Drive, Willow Street, PA 17584 Email/Phone [email protected]/ 717-464-7053 Website www.lancasterctc.edu Goal of Plan The Lancaster County Career & Technology Center believes it is important for our students to remain engaged and continue learning the career area they have chosen to pursue by attending the CTC. It is important to us that we continue developing opportunities to students that promote their career goals and are able to see them through to gainful employment, post secondary schooling or military service. While our educational services focus on a hand-on learning approach, we have always emphasized the theoretical knowledge. This shift to a virtual setting will allow for students to expand theory knowledge while still participating in developing skills in a different format. Our staff are prepared to rise to the challenge of delivering these services to our students to continue the proud tradition and excellent education provided by the LCCTC. Many students were beginning and preparing to culminate their training with a NOCTI assessment and participation in work-based experiences. Unfortunately, these circumstances have taken away opportunity to further develop skills and experience clinical and cooperative education opportunities. NOCTI assessments have been cancelled by the Department of Education. As a result of the cancellation of the NOCTI assessment, students will not qualify for statewide articulation through SOAR. The LCCTC will work with colleges on individual agreements for student articulations. Moving forward, our curriculum focus will be on honing previously learned skills and preparing students for the various industry certifications, many of which can be earned online.
