As electronic media have increased in importance in teaching and learning, universities have entered the business of processing and distributing video, audio, and written course content both to registered students and to the larger educational community. The systems used for this purpose need to be designed around the idea that teaching and learning content can be a reusable and potentially valuable asset if it can be managed by instructors and redistributed via multiple channels (such as iTunesU, YouTube, and class sites in the course management system). This presentation will include discussion on how these concerns are reflected in the design of Media Space, Northwestern University Academic and Research Technologies’ system for collecting, managing, and distributing media assets.
