Video streaming and other forms of online learning resources—including audio, images, podcasts, lecture capture files—have become an integral component of instructors’ and students’ eLearning experience.
ShareStream’s Video Tool for the Sakai® LMS enables educational institutions to extend Sakai with an easy-to-use, YouTube-like solution for instructional media.
Faculty, staff and students (if granted the required privileges) can utilize ShareStream’s solution for instructional media to:
- easily upload and transcode video and audio files
- create clips
- tag content with metadata
- search across and browse instructional-media collections for the courses in which they are enrolled
- access online learning resources through streaming media to desktop computers and mobile devices or (if permitted) through podcasts and RSS feeds.
