During the Spring semester 2013 we will be piloting a new tool for Sakai called ShareStream. ShareStream is a multimedia platform that integrates with Sakai and enables instructors to stream video and audio to their students. In addition to tools for viewing, editing, organizing, and searching multimedia, ShareStream also includes sophisticated digital rights management, so it is easy to limit who has access to multimedia files, when they can access them, and from where.

More information on ShareStream is available here.

Please contact an instructional technologist if you have any questions about ShareStream or using multimedia in your classes.
