Streaming Media

Information Technology Services (ITS) is committed to supporting both academic and administrative departments in the use of streaming video and audio technologies. ITS support of streaming media consists of file hosting, file compression, and direct assistance to faculty members seeking to incorporate streaming media into their pedagogy. Through a partnership with the University Teaching and Learning Center and Electronic Resources and Information Technology, we also assist in the leveraging of resources both for authoring and editing streaming media content.

Our goal is to provide the University with an academic learning tool that explores new methods and avenues of scholastic technology. ITS intends to integrate streaming media as an essential component of the classroom. Using the technology for supplementary material or as a learning aid is possible but somewhat inefficient. There are various unexplored functions that we can utilize to enrich numerous facets of the learning experience.

University departments and faculty across the country are progressively employing streaming media because of its versatility as a resource. Further, new implementation techniques expand the bases of teaching models and strategies. The University of Wisconsin system provides "streaming success stories" from various faculty and staff members. The Web site also includes an outstanding breakdown of examples that can be utilized right away.
