This allows us to share and highlight exceptional faculty, staff, and students, as well as exciting work, research, and events from all campuses.
iTunes U access-restricted site
This gives you access to audio and video recordings of campus course sessions, faculty lectures, interviews, music, and events. These can be played on your computer, iPod, or other portable device.
Media Mill lets you archive and share video projects, without any quality loss, and without a limit on how much content you can add. Once uploaded, MediaMill gives you a link to the content that you can share with anyone.
Media Mill can be used with class capture software, like Camtasia Relay or Podcast Producer, and provides a tool called Media Magnet to help automate that process.
