Details of session from eTV
University of Canterbury Presentation:
We all use YouTube and TV On-demand websites in some way. We often find it very convenient to quickly access little tidbits of video to introduce or reinforce a teaching topic. This is great, but what happens when we want to download or save a video to be used offline?
Gresham Bradley from eTV will be giving a demonstration of what eTV can provide to educators and why eTV is an important and timely resource and tool for teaching resources. He will show how eTV’s huge range of content covering all curriculum areas provides teachers with access to an unparalleled repository of current and relevant content that appeals to today’s students who are increasingly living in an online world.
All staff at the University of Canterbury have access to eTV, a "state of the art" on-line teaching and learning tool that provides real-time and real-life teaching resources through recorded programmes, live streams and videos, available to be viewed and downloaded. A catalogue of more than 8000 TV programme recordings from 32 channels, and the entire Archives NZ historical film collection, is searchable using rich metadata created by eTV’s dedicated educational Librarian.
There are 15 domestic and international channels streaming live, including English language international News Channels that offer comparative viewing of local and world events and cultural interpretation, and foreign language channels for language students to experience a real-world context or for international students to access TV from their home country in their own language.
eTV personalised and connects to social networking tools. It offers private workspace areas where teachers can work with their Favourite Programmes, organise them into Folders, upload Related Materials, and share by email and Facebook” their own Materials, Tags, Comments and Programme recommendations.
eTV is available via the Internet, and the University of Canterbury, which is connected to KAREN/NEN receives this service at high speed with no data traffic costs or caps.
This is a great opportunity to discuss some ideas and practical ways of using this resource. http://www.etv.org.nz
Can I just check if this session is open to all comers, and if details will go on to library news soon if that is the case?
