What is WyoCast?

WyoCast is the process of capturing sound, video, computer images, and presentations and wrapping it all up in a package that can be viewed live (real-time) or later, on demand, using a simple Internet connection. Viewers can watch captured lectures in their entirety, or in specific sections, by simply selecting a slide in the presentation. From there, they have the ability to skip, fast forward, and rewind throughout the recording. This technology will allow classroom lectures to be available to students on the web and can be utilized in the recording and streaming of special events, supplemental material and much more.
