Media Server online
WashingtonOnline is now offering a media server to online instructional staff. A media server allows faculty to add classroom materials in the form of video, audio and other large files into online classrooms, for viewing or download by students. The main goal is to help ease the classroom size restrictions and allow more supplementary materials to be offered. (Classrooms hosted by WashingtonOnline have limits as to the total size
of files and other course content that they may contain. Most courses don’t come near these limits but a few do and would benefit from more storage space.)
To use, ELC and faculty may login to the WAOL.org website and choose the new Media Server Upload or Search links. These pages have some usage and other help information.
More info on the purpose and design of this new system can be found here:
