Are you hosting an event on campus? If you webcast it, the world can attend. BU has webcast many events, including:

Commencement 2001  
video with navigation links - 1 hour 59 minutes

School of Management Finance2000 lecture 
video with slides and navigation links - 54 minutes

The Great Debate  
video - 1 hour 59 minutes

Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation lecture
video - 1 hour 6 minutes
Food for Thought talk
audio - 48 minutes

The first 4 examples above were webcast live. You can view them now, because we permanently archive all live webcasts. Some events, such as the Food for Thought, are recorded, but not webcast live. They were put on the Web after the event. We permanently archive these, too.

A webcast of an event is not a replacement to being in the audience. It is not a replacement for watching the event on television or listening to it on the radio.

However, it is a way to include everyone who could not attend in person, and it is a way to disseminate information globally in a manner that would be impractical or impossible to do through print, television, or radio.

When you begin planning your next event, you should consider a live webcast and begin planning for it from the start.
