Keep on streamin’

Streaming is a method for delivering audio and video over the Internet. Because audio and video files can be very large, downloading them to the computer can be time-consuming; files that are streamed can be watched or listened to almost immediately.

The streaming service at UGA is a joint project of Enterprise Information Technology Services and the Office of Instructional Support and Development. The streaming media server is available for educational uses to UGA units, faculty and staff at no cost.

This Web site explains the process and answers questions. One subsection offers samples in QuickTime and RealPlayer formats, using an instructional film from 1947. Faculty interested in using audio and video in their courses should take a look.

Columns is produced by the UGA News Service, a unit of UGA Public Affairs.
