Abstract
Webcasting is a new instructional technology used to deliver audio and video presentations via the Internet, enabling learners to participate in a live class via a personal computer. In this article, we describe the workflow involved in producing a Webcast class and provide a detailed account of the process of adopting Webcasting as a medium to provide distance education at a state university in a rural setting. This article addresses the team members required to seamlessly integrate Webcasting into the curriculum: information technology specialists, faculty, students, and administrators. We also identify problems encountered with implementation of Webcasting and methods used to resolve them.
