We are doing streams for classes at UConn. Access is via our courseware system and password protected. We are purchasing the streaming rights for material that is used for multiple classes and/or in multiple semesters, or that is used for distance learning, or by classes at our regional campuses where the students are not resident. We are not purchasing packages, only stuff we know is going to be used. It's too expensive to buy streams unless we know they will be used.
