Cornell’s audio/video and academic technologies services help you teach, do research, collaborate, participate, learn, and share without being bound by geography or travel budgets.

  • Web Streaming Services: If you need people at different locations to be able to see your lectures, symposia, colloquia, special events, or how-to tutorials, CIT can stream these events via the Internet on a live or archived basis.  To get assistance with planning and scheduling Web streaming, please visit the Video Collaboration Services web site.
  • Web Conferencing Services:  CIT’s Academic Technologies group can demonstrate and assist you with utilizing a Web conferencing system to primarily share computer content and simultaneously conduct an audio conference with many participants for distance learning, meeting, and research collaboration purposes.

Online environments can become vital spaces for instructors, students, and TAs to exchange resources and ideas. Email atc_support@cornell.edu to get help establishing yourself in any of them or visit our Course Communication Tools web site.  Our services include:
