Contributing to ProLearn-TV

If you would like to contribute to ProLearn-TV there are a number of options available to you.  Please contact Ben Hawkridge to discuss which option best meets your needs.

Existing content

  1. Streaming video - we can link to existing streaming video sources, provided they are accessible from the Internet.
  2. Video files - if you have content that has already been encoded, but isn't available for streaming, we can transcode it to QuickTime and host for you.
  3. Video tapes/DVD - as with video files we can convert these sources and host them on a server for you.
New Content
  1. Use a video camera to record your presentation, and send us a copy of the recording, and we will encode and host the video presentation for you.
  2. Online recording of short presentations. We have a tool in testing called XO Lite, that makes use of Macromedia Flash technology to allow online recording of video and audio sync'd to JPEG slides. If you are interested in trialing this technology please contact us.
  3. Video conference recording - if you are unable to readily arrange for your presentation to be recorded, we suggest arranging a video conference with us, which we will then record, and use this as the source for subsequent presentation on Prolearn TV.
  4. Slides and Video - using XO Editor technology we developed we can arrange for any of your video presentations to be sync'd to JPEG slides, easily exported from PowerPoint, the final result will be hosted in the XO Stage playback tool on Prolearn TV. We are also working on developing an online version of this tool (XO Sync), and if you'd like to trial this please get in touch.
  5. There are many tools for creating streaming content, if you have a prefered tool and would like to us it instead of the above options, I'm sure can can integrate the resulting presentation into ProLearn TV.
Live Content
If you have a live event scheduled, please contact us so we can host the event on Prolearn TV. If you want to know more about what is required technically to do live streaming video then please get in touch with us too.
