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 Stephanie Kufner Bard College, New York Quoting LLTI-Editor <[log in to unmask]>: > --- Forwarded Message from "Primov, Rachida S" <[log in to unmask]> --- > > >Subject: > >Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 14:32:58 -0400 > >Thread-Index: AcSvwMW3gVgCi2D1Qu2P3vd+G9azdQ== > >From: "Primov, Rachida S" <[log in to unmask]> > >To: <[log in to unmask]> > > Dear All, > > > > The Department of Foreign Languages at the University of Miami is > planning to subscribe to foreign language TV channels (SCOLA, > International Channel, Dish Network, or any other). > > We would like to find out what kind of programs and equipment > (satellite, cable, etc.?) are being used in other centers to access > international TV broadcasts. > > We would like to access broadcasts in Arabic, French, German, Hebrew, > Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. > > We would like to receive the channels in the Lab and in certain number > of classrooms and we would also like to be able to broadcast some of the > channels to the whole campus. > > In your opinion what is the best way to go? > > We would appreciate it very much if you could share your experiences > with us. > > Best regards, > > Rachida > > Rachida Salama Primov > The Eleonore Graves Tripp Foreign Languages Laboratory and Tutorial > Writing Center, Director > > Outreach Program Coordinator > University of Miami > Phone: (305) 284-8592 > Fax: (305) 284-2225 > Email: [log in to unmask] > > http://www.fll.miami.edu > > > > The experience of learning technology practitioners has been rather like > climbing a mountain.
