Mediasite
What is it? 
Mediasite is a presentation tool that allows instructors to make live digital recordings of lectures or presentations. Students can view the presentation over the internet in real-time and/or can access the presentation as a podcast or for viewing at a later date.
Mediasite allows instructors to simultaneously show media in two windows. For example, PowerPoint slides in one window and a video feed in another window. Mediasite also allows for one or two way audio/video communication and closed captioning.Mediasite
