Afternoon session 2d: streaming media

Streaming, media, sharing materials, policies/legal questions - we have a lot of demand for different kinds of materials, but don't have a lot of good solutions - needs for impromptu and self-made materials as well as access to resources (films etc)

- question about iTunes U: good for public lectures etc, but has been less and less popular for course use - issues with iTU support have included sudden upgrades and loss of ability to authenticate. Not a lot of interest on Apple's part in course spaces. Lots of support for higher-visibility materials, public keynotes, etc. - do other universities have comparable experiences with public vs private materials? - what about lecture capture? we have several systems; other schools are using mediasite; nccu law uses panopto. - need to work with faculty expectations: either "isn't every room ready to record any time?" or "I don't want my students to have access to that!". The reality is somewhere in between. - non-lecture media: film reserves, classroom presentation of materials, etc. - subscription services (Swank etc.); other universities are doing digitization on demand for films (?). - distribution of student or teacher created non-lecture materials - youtube? - if you search for $institution on youtube, you'll find anything from official productions to individually produced material. Do we have or need guidelines? - this is a technical issue as well: we have a lot of interest in having students produce media materials, but we don't have good ways of using it: Youtube has time limits and no privacy. Campus servers are a hurdle to use. Interested in other campuses' solutions. - what about making students responsible for getting films the same way they'd get a book: having only one copy at an institution isn't an okay solution. But faculty and students are reluctant to have students buy or rent multimedia materials. - Consensus: I just want one great place to upload video.
