Abstract:
Duquesne University's Interactive Media Department implemented MediaSite Live, which captures the output of presentation devices (e.g., computer, audio/video system, etc.) in real time and streams it live to the Web. The captured presentation is immediately archived. All students can view live lectures and participate in class activities. The system maintains a record of the class that students can review on their own based on their needs and preferences. This presentation discusses the MediaSite Live system, including the hardware and software requirements. Specifically, it reviews how to set up the system and keep it running. The presentation also provides a description of how the Department of Interactive Media has integrated MediaSite Live in all of its classes and how students access and use the archived video. Finally, the presentation discusses the potential value of archived lecture materials for teaching and learning.
