Please find enclosed a small description of our Satellite set-up at Bard (which
I presented
at NERRALD) which has worked wonders for us. It allows us to not only broadcast
into
various classrooms (NOT campus-wide due to various political reasons) but also
into all
computer stations in the language center - a HUGE success with all foreign
language
students who now regularly watch their respective channels, work on homework
satellite
assignments and even faculty are more and more getting the hang of integrating
satellite
programs/clips into the regular classes due to the amazing ease with which you
can watch,
record, save , rewatch etc, the satellite programs on the computers, integrate
the clips with
SONY Lab software etc.
Please call me if you need more info (845 758 7443)
I hope this helps
