I tried a couple of times this morning to join a webcast offered by Apple, on the topic of using Lectopia to capture and distribute lectures (and other material). Something that would be useful, say, at a large-ish university that spends a fair amount of time and effort on online and blended learning.

Instead of being able to attend the webcast, I got occasional snippets of audio, and about once every minute or so I get a partial screen refresh for the video feed of the webcast.

Thanks for the partial connectivity. Maybe we should just get everyone AOL dialups or something.

  1. I would first try bitching at the tech people, but they’re just peons… Try writing Harvey a letter detailing strategies like subnets to manage the bandwidth… Also perhaps they should add a white list of some sort for certain sites that people can request URL inclusions to — and on admin approval would be added.

  2. I’ve tried bitching. Ranting is more cathartic, and just as effective.
