BACKGROUND=20
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/programmes/webcasting.htm=20

Tate Modern are 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. =20

Webcasting will operate in a pilot phase at Tate Modern within the
Education and Interpretation department.  The objective is look to the
future and thoroughly research and test possibilities, which may eventually
form the basis of a long term plan for webcasting across Tate sites.  In
this pilot phase, aspects of Tate's public events 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 introduced.=20

FEEDBACK=20
This webcast is part of a testing process, I would very much appreciate it
if listeners of the event can provide qualitative feedback that will help
shape the character of live webcasts from Tate Modern in the future..=20
