What is Streaming Video?
Streaming video allows video content to be delivered from a remote server to any internet connected device 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The video is not downloaded to the device but the video is streamed from the server to the device once the viewer presses the play button. In most situations, the video can be accessed simultaniously.
Streaming videos can be embedded into course management systems (i.e. Moodle)
