Interactive and Multimedia Technologies, in conjunction with the Client Services group, assists faculty and staff with creating digital learning objects using a variety of tools:

High-definition video conferencing (VC) is available in the Korman Computing Center for teaching, training, and collaboration, providing point-to-point and multipoint video conferencing services. Both video and computer images can be transmitted via IP or ISDN to remote locations equipped with VC hardware or software.

Korman Computing Center also features classrooms equipped to “mirror” corresponding classrooms at the Sacramento Center for Graduate Studies. Through video conferencing technology, professors at Drexel can now teach students in Sacramento and Philadelphia (and/or other locations) simultaneously, in real time.

Portable solutions are also available. A mobile cart can be used to deploy HD videoconferencing in any Korman room. Desktop solutions can be deployed anywhere on campus where a wired Internet connection is available. Contact the VC Team at 215-895-2324 for more information.

To inquire about videoconferencing or to reserve a video conferencing room in Korman, email vcav@drexel.edu.

Additional videoconferencing facilities are maintained by the LeBow College of Business, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Information Science and Technology, Goodwin College’s School of Education, the College of Engineering, the School of Public Health, and the Drexel College of Medicine.

Webcasting and Rich Media Delivery both provide real time and on-demand viewing for events, training sessions, and classroom lectures at Drexel. Webcasts can be encoded using Real or Windows Media formats. They can also be archived. For more information, see http://www.drexel.edu/irt/video/webcastingEvents.

Need to capture video and/or audio for a lecture or event? Complete the request form at http://www.drexel.edu/irt/video/schedule.

DragonDrop, a media capture and conversion application, enables instructors to drop rich media (audio, video, or text) into an automated encoding/deployment system. Output formats include PDF, MP4, MP3, and 3GP, as well as streaming formats such as Real, Windows Media, and Adobe Flash.

Users can create “playlists” from their own content in DragonDrop or publicly-available content from the Web.

For information on Webcasting, email irtmedia@drexel.edu. For information on DragonDrop or media conversion, visit http://www.drexel.edu/irt/coursetools/toolList/dragonDrop or send an email to rmcp@dcollege.net.

DrexelView (http://view.drexel.edu) is a video showcase in digest format on topics of interest to the Drexel community, including Business, Humanities, Technology, Science, the Arts, and more.
