What is a webcast?

Webcasting is a fully integrated web based system that captures and records

audio, video and data, such as PowerPoint slides, in one streamed live media

presentation. Attendees can view the broadcast from home, school, in an

auditorium or anywhere that has computer access. Attendees will have the

opportunity to ask questions, make comments and otherwise participate in the

broadcast. To view an example of a webcast, log into
