67. Internet Broadcasting Democratising Outreach Specialist Involvement Target Audience International Educational Enabling Creativity Interactive Experimental Subjective Flexible Economic Inexpensive Synergistic Exponential Growth Location

68. Democratising Factors Enabling factors: The Internet downloads broadcasting capacity to individuals for their own projects – this is how Vega started Target Audience: The audience is not limited by advertising and other factors governing TV economics Outreach: There are no limits on the range – University/School links are but one important educational axis concept Specialist Involvement: Individuals with expertise can at last broadcast their ideas and perspectives without interference from media controllers whose chief concerns are production values and if necessary intellectual factors must be sacrificed International Perspective: The intrinsic international aspect of the sciences and other cultural activities are paralleled by the universal footprint of the Internet 3

69. 2 Educational Factors Flexibility: Many more things are possible - moving images, audio, written, animation, photographs, interactivity etc Interactivity: Participation of the audience is now possible enabling feedback to become an integral part of the learning exercise Experimental: Allows individuals to experiment developing their own ideas of how the educational mechanism can be developed – a crucial aspect in any creative endeavour Subjectivity: The media are steeped in an objective philosophic miasma which is the anathema as far as true creative potential is concerned. The Internet is subjective enabling individuals to make their own personal ideas accessible

70. Economics Factors Inexpensive Technologies: Internet broadcasting is relatively cheap and getting cheaper very quickly Accessibility: Steaming on demand is a revolution in broadcasting and makes the fixed programme concept obsolete Searching: Efficient browsers ensuring material is locatable Synergy: Interactions between source operators will lead to a rapid learning process resulting in sharing and optimisation of the effectiveness of the information dissemination process Exponential Growth: The growth of network nodes parallels the exponential growth of internet websites Location: The logistic factor that the material may be physically located at a large number of interlinked sites is a major factor

77. Democratising Factors Individual: Downloads broadcasting capacity to individuals Target Audience: The target audience is not limited by the short-sighted attitudes engendered by advertising and other factors in TV economics Outreach: No limits on the range – University/School links are but one important educational axis concept Specialist Involvement: The experts can at last broadcast their ideas and perspectives without interference form media controllers whose chief concerns have traditionally been that production values are more important than intellectual factors International Perspective: The intrinsic international aspect of the sciences and other cultural activities are paralleled by the universal footprint of the Internet

78. Educational Factors 1.Flexibility: Moving images, audio,written, animation, photographs etc 2.Interactivity: Participation of the audience - feedback 3.Synergy: Interactions between source operators should lead to learning and sharing resulting in optimisation of the effectiveness of the information dissemination process 4.Enabling factors: Downloads real creative capacity to the individual. Individuals are enabled to seek support for their own personal projects – this is how Vega started 5.Experimental: Allows individuals to experiment developing their own ideas of how the educational mechanism can be developed 6.Subjectivity: The media are steeped in an objective philosophic miasma which is the anathema as far as creative potential is concerned. The internet is nothing if not subjective enabling individuals to make their own ideas accessible

79. Economic Factors 1.Inexpensive Technologies: relatively cheap and getting cheaper quickly 2.Synergy: Interactions between source operators should lead to learning and sharing resulting in optimisation of the effectiveness of the information dissemination process 3.Exponential Growth: The growth of nodes in the educational family should parallel the exponential growth of internet websites 4.Location: The logistic factor that the material may be physically located at a large number of interlinked nodes is not to be overlooked
