This document is designed to allow interested faculty and staff learn more about streaming technologies and how they might be used in teaching and learning.
Computers are capable of recording and playing back audio and video media files.
Downloading and playing media files has been one method of delivering information to an internet audience. A few years ago though, a new method was invented that allows media to stream from a server through a client machine. Audio will work fine to these low bandwidth connections, as will slideshow presentations with audio narration. There are new tools that we are evaluating right now, including TAG, Grins, and Windows Media Author. All of these are supposed to allow us to create synchronized multimedia projects that can be streamed.
