ESSIC to conduct seminar-streaming and recording tests

As a means of exploring additional avenues for Center Outreach, Live-Streaming and recording tests of ESSIC seminars will be conducted this week.  ESSIC will beta-test an evaluation unit provided by “NCast,” that is capable of both recording and streaming presentation and meeting content.   Monday’s seminar (5/14) will feature Dr. Edward Kim from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Thursday’s seminar (5/17) will feature two speakers, with talks scheduled to begin at 10:30am and 12:00pm respectively.  Please note that to watch streamed Ncast presentations, users will require either RealPlayer or Quicktime on their host computer.  Users will first need to point their browser at the following URL, in order to launch the stream: http://essic9.umd.edu
