VENUS is a networked cabled observatory under the ocean covering Saanich Inlet and a part of Georgia Strait. By allowing researchers real time, any time, access to ocean observations, it has transformed the discipline of marine science. The system currently has 58 instruments attached, producing 177 data streams which currently have 131 users.
The goal of the presentation is to demonstrate the power of the CANARIE network in its ability to allow individuals to conduct experiments and to remote-control instruments thousands of kilometres away from the laboratory. Moreover, the versatility of the network also allows for collaboration to take place between diverse groups using video conference.
Held on June 26th, 2008, the presentation will consist in offering remote control of the VENUS undersea observatory camera located in the Saanich Inlet at a depth of 95 meters to a classroom of grade seven students from Argyle School in Regina, SK. While operating the camera, the students will be able to get live explanations on what they see from a scientist located in Victoria. The scientist will see the current camera field of view as well as the students. This is using technology to enhance the learning experience at its leading edge.
