    Server are not cached on local client machines.The only way around this is to use a Flash Media Server. Of course, the same is true of the other formats. Delivering a file via a standard HTTP request (without a streaming server) will leave the asset available.ConclusionThe bottom line is that right now, unless I have a really good reason, my default choice is the Flash Video Format.

  • Local Lectures vs. First Class Lectures

    This is a topic that I've been wondering about for a while and Donald Clark hits on it in his post:Professor Lewin - "It sounds arrogant, I know, but it's better to see a first class lecture on video than a mediocre one in the flesh." Use the FREE stuff because it's better. This is a simple solution to a massive problem.

    ... would value an online graduate degree from a bigger name higher than an in-person from a local, lesser name program. That said, I still would value the in-person higher than the online for the same university. Given my passion around distance learning, it's a bit weird to admit this bias.
