For audio and video files
Audio and video are being used for educational purposes more and more. Moving images are used to clarify and enliven classes. Another reason for using video in (higher) education is its possibility to watch classes and meetings live or on-demand. Moreover, audio and video play an increasingly big part for several disciplines of research, such as social and medical sciences. SURFmedia, SURFnet's on-line media platform, makes this all possible in a simple way.
The service comprises a Multimedia centre, Live (the former RTV guide) and Community & Support. The Multimedia centre contains a large collection of audiovisual material, from higher education itself and from external content suppliers, such as the Dutch Institute for Picture and Sound. With Live students, teachers and researchers can watch and create live broadcasts. In Community & Support, knowledge on the use of streaming media in higher education can be exchanged. FAQ's, how to's and the helpdesk can also be found here. |
