Before the VBrick system was in place, according to Daniel Greene, Bryant's media production specialist, professors had to physically visit the library, select a video, download it to a portable media such as disk or tape, and carry it to class. When the university purchased a large number of professionally produced educational documentary videos several years ago, it became obvious that a better system was needed to manage and distribute them.
Live video broadcasting service Ustream.tv will announce tomorrow that live feeds on the company's website and distributed video players got a combined 10 million unique viewers last month.
