The Video Library Server provides an easy way for staff to get video content to their intended audience. Due to the vast range of digital media formats, staff are now able to upload content in almost any digital format via a simple web interface. No extra user names or passwords are required thanks to the LDAP Integration provided by the system. Once the upload is complete the video is converted automatically into RealMedia for delivery through RealPlayer and also MPEG-4 for delivery to an embedded Flash Player or mobile device such as the Apple iPhone.
Videos range from demonstrations, capturing lectures and guest speakers and other wider events , interview style videos with also many videos serving as visual aids ( lab work, experiments, product demos, instructional guides) . Students and staff, (whether face to face or studying at a distance/ working from home) are reaping the advantages of streamed video content available 24/7 .
Videos are powerful tools to communicate your message effectively and efficiently, and is a very convenient teaching aid whilst improving the overall teaching and learning experience. In todays visually literate society, video is becoming the preferred delivery medium and streaming media is a most effective way in delivering multimedia content.
The VLS has proven a valuable tool allowing us to provide standardized information and training in the means of instructional video guides on Blackboard Tools and other Technologies, available at the users disposal at their convenience and preferred format.
