Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication has selected Narrowstep Inc. to provide the Internet TV component of its curriculum.
The college will integrate training on telvOS (Narrowstep's Television Operating System) as a key component of several undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses. Meanwhile, two new Internet TV channels will be run by Ravensbourne broadcast students. The new channels will allow Ravensbourne students to make video content produced at the college available for public viewing through their Ravensbourne TV channel, while content only available to students would be accessed through the student channel, RaveOnAir...
This is among the first time anywhere in the world that Internet TV management and production has been added to formal academic courses. Course graduates are already being offered employment opportunities with Narrowstep and the company's clients, demonstrating the dynamic growth in the IPTV industry.
"The world of broadcasting is changing and the traditional model of delivery through transmission is rapidly expanding out into the Internet," said Dr. Freddie Gaffney, Broadcast Technology Course Leader of Ravensbourne College. "As a forward thinking establishment, we must prepare our students for the future, whatever shape it may take. This alliance with Narrowstep is the first step in bringing Ravensbourne to the next generation of content delivery."
