Ukoln Streaming Summing Up

UKOLNBlogs and social networks

workshopstreaming

what did we learn?

aims…

stream talks onto the Weband into Second Life

and try to get some level ofengagement between

the different audiences

cheaply

arghhh… bandwidth

cons…

no bandwidth foruploading video stream

audio stream worked okbut need to be prepared

no interaction between audiences (e.g.

breakout sessions)

pros…

in-world experience generally +ve

good audience feel

good interactionbetween SL and Moodle

in-world slides clear for SL delegates

conclusions

this kind of technology is definitelywithin reach (at low cost)

audio streaming combined with slides is probably good enough??

but need to have good understanding of

the network enviroment
