   Free Online Courses

These online modules and guides are free for you to use. They were originally designed for BBC staff and in publishing them here we have not made many editorial changes to them.

This is because they are primarily aimed at anyone who is working for, with or alongside the BBC, so the modules still contain some specific references to BBC procedures, methods and services.

They  also have two CD-ROMS you may order from them.

Click on the logo above to check the classes out!


 
TVCrit.com Free learning materials on video capturing and importing. Some of this is vendor specific but the basics apply to anything.
 

Video for Online by Manfred Kuechler (Hunter College)

[This is a sequel to Audio for Online (Enhanced) Courses and I recommend to read the piece on audio first if you are interested in the practical details.]

Editor's Note An interesting look  back to 1991 when  many of us still had dial up modems and how we had to optimize the video stream to fit these devices!   -Ed Sharpe
