BACKGROUND

http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/programmes/webcasting.htm
Tate Modern is operating a pilot programme of webcasting. Webcasting is the term used to describe the real-time delivery of moving images, moving text and sound, over the internet. Webcasting software allows internet audiences to listen or watch types of media, which have, up until now, been considered too large and bulky for consumption over the internet.
Webcasting is operating in a pilot phase at Tate Modern within the Interpretation & Education department. In this pilot phase, aspects of Tate's Public Programme will be webcast live to internet audiences, and events will be documented and presented on Tate's website for audiences to view afterward. Education and interpretation materials will be developed for the internet, and online discussion forums will be introduced. 


FEEDBACK
As these webcasts are part of a pilot process, qualitative feedback that will help shape the character of live webcasts from Tate Modern in the future, is always appreciated.
