Abstract:

The UChannel (also known as the University Channel) makes videos of academic lectures and events from all over the world available to the public. It is a place where academics can air their ideas and present research in a full-length, uncut format.

Participating universities contribute video and audio recordings of lectures, seminars, panels and interviews to a virtual pool of academic content. Participants produce their own content, under their own name. The UChannel provides the audience for events that many institutions are already taping for archival purposes, but not yet airing for lack of a distribution mechanism. While production values need not be as stringent as commercial TV outlets demand, UChannel can offer professional production advice to participants who want to improve the look of their product. Contributors are responsible for their own content and for clearing the rights to distribution.
