Did you happen to see the Movie FALTU that got released a few days back? It for sure was a faltu movie, but it did throw light on a very important area... Use of Webcasting in Education.
In the movie, the college students, whether opting for the course on cooking, or beautician, or fashion designing or DJing or acting or any other topic for that matter, watched the pre-recorded videos of well known professionals or college professors from premiere institutions and learnt from them. The lectures were also posted on the college website with free access to all. This benefited the students who were not a part of college, hence expanding the reach and benefiting many others.
These pre-recorded lectures, as shown in the movie, are the product of Video on demand technology very intensively used these days.
Video-on-Demand is a service that allows users to choose and watch favored video content at anytime as per their convenience. It basically follows the LIVE recording of the lectures, and then these recorded lectures are uploaded on to the internet. The students who are in the self-study mode or students who want detailed explanation on a particular topic or students who have missed their lectures can download the pre-recorded videos of the lectures, view them and learn from them.
The colleges can also webcast some of the lectures LIVE. Live Webcasting of lectures is the live broadcasting of lectures over the internet.
