UCalgary’s Bandwidth Restrictions (again)

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.

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

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.
