Multimedia

The University of Liège began its audio and video podcasting of classes in the spring of 2009.

This technology, progressively being implemented since the beginning of the 2009-2010 academic year, will be a great help to students, allowing them to listen or watch a class as many times as necessary.

Classrooms will be equipped with a sound and image capture system. This system will be entirely automated and integrated with student and class management software. The professor will directly monitor the tool using a simple interface.

Once a class is over, the professor need only validate the recording which will automatically be processed for consultation in various formats. Students registered in the course can visualize the podcast via myULg  either in high definition on a PC or Mac computer with H.264 streaming (Quicktime) or Windows Media, by downloading it on a MPEG4 player and consulting it while on the train for example, or by downloading it on a MP3 player in audio format only.
