Designed to complement existing media courses and bringing the concept of local television to educational facilities, Educast allows students to expand their studies, learn about media broadcast from industry professionals and take their content direct to television.

Educast provides a live environment for production and learning and can be described as an in-house / local television channel which can be created and updated on a weekly, monthly, or even daily basis.

Created by internet protocol television (IPTV) specialist, Global Digital Broadcast, Educast channels also receive the benefit of being broadcast on the Something IPTV service in the UK, meaning 17.5 million people, in the UK alone, could watch Educast channels.

Content and channels can be shared across the network, so colleges as far afield as Canada or Australia could watch content made by colleges in the UK and vice versa. Local life and hometown documentaries can promote the area and attract attention to both the educational facility and the town. Channels can even carry local advertising to help with projects and enable them to become self-funding; plus students can learn about advertising and budgets – both of which play a huge part in independent television.

Educast can be delivered into and out of any and every country in the world with a broadband connection.

In a competitive education system, Educast can be used as a tool to both promote faculty expertise and monitor and judge success.

Imagine having both your own television channel and instant access to a whole range of documentaries, educational programming, clips and classics, all at the touch of a button. Educast makes all this and more a reality.
