On-Demand Streaming
On-demand streaming, also known as archived media, lets you view content after the event has taken place.
This is an archived streaming video of President George W. Bush speaking to the Spring 2002 graduating class.
On-Demand Streaming with Captioning
For students who have hearing impairments, captioning of videos helps overcome barriers. It works much like the closed-captioning you may have seen on television. In our Accessibility Information section, we have more details on what to keep in mind to make sure that students with various disabilities are able to access your multimedia in alternative formats. Flash, RealMedia, and Windows media formats can be captioned.
Below is an example of captioning on Bill Cosby's address at OSU's 356th commencement ceremony.
Embedded Streaming Clip
Streaming video and audio can be linked to open separately in the player or they can be embeded into a web browser's window as in this example.
In this embedded clip former Vice President Al Gore speaks on Global Change and the Environment at OSU.
Rich Media Streams
Presentations can be captured and produced displaying the audio or video of your lecture and have accompanying materials such as PowerPoint slides in an accompanying window. These materials automatically advance as the presentation progresses and the indexing allows the viewer to navigate to a specific slide or topic.

Podcasting
Podcasts allow users to easily download new episodes of an on-going series through the use of an RSS reader. Podcasts are typically audio-only presentations in MP3 or MP4 format, but can also contain slides or video. Images and video require specific software and/or hardware that will greatly restrict your reachable audience.
