Move Over YouTube; Case TV to Showcase the University's Talent, Intellectual Property
Forget YouTube. Soon, the campus community will be able to upload their own videos and short clips to the newly launched Case TV.
Case TV is an archive for streaming the university's video assets, and the project is being rolled out in phases. Version 1.0 started in January, and currently features over 150 selections, including lecturers who have spoken at the university; department or student-sponsored events; student items such as Undergraduate Student Government meetings and Career Center tours and information; class lectures; and entertainment.
The videos are available 24 hours daily, and accessible globally to any user who has Internet access. Departments and student organizations request video taping services for specific events, and MediaVision is now including most of these items on the network. Read more about Case TV.
