Creating an online TV station using Mogulus

Who would have guessed that we would live a time when anyone can make his or her own TV station with a computer, an Internet connection, and a cheap camera? And you can ignore the camera if you wish. With so many videos on the Web, it's really simple to get raw material for your programming. Imagine a TV in our Moodle course with several programs, with live news directly from a webcam, videos made by you, or by others that are part of this programming, and you will have an idea of what am I talking about. And you can set it all up in 15 minutes. Yes, 15 minutes!

I can imagine 100 ways we that we could use this in a school, and in Moodle in particular, to broadcast:

• A live school event, such as a school play

• Old school events (such as a history of our school)

• Classes (theatre, games in physical education classes, science experiments, and so on)

• Shows made by students and teachers

• Meetings, workshops, and clubs activities

• Online videos selected by teachers...
