Abstract

As educational institutions prepare to meet the challenge of delivering services to an increasingly divergent 21st century population, traditional methodologies for providing those services are also changing. The development of the Internet has greatly increased the electronic options that such institutions have available for instructional delivery. Despite the widespread use of various Web-based technologies, one such technology, streaming media, has been relatively little used on college and university campuses. Yet it holds considerable promise for instruction and orientation, especially for distance education programs and other services to remote users.
