Based at the University of Portsmouth, Lifesign is a JISC-funded project to develop, catalogue and evaluate the use of streaming media for learning and teaching in the broad life sciences. Its object is to identify appropriate film/video sources in the life sciences and deliver these across networks and the internet. The site includes sample streams in different bandwidths (using Windows Media Player) in such fields as electrocardiography, medical imaging, microscopy and sports science. A clearly designed and helpful resource which also serves as an advertisement and valuable guide to the potential for streamed media for learning and teaching.
This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 05/03/2005. This does not include access to the moving images.

The Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis has provided four complete series of hour long video lectures online using RealPlayer (either 56k or broadband): Computer Science (Visual Basic Programming 25 parts), English (Children’s Literature 21 parts), Geology (Indiana Geology 25 parts) and Health (Personal Health 15 parts). Another 15 lectures on Shakespeare are on the site, but are only available to registered students. The lectures never really stray from the usual format of simply recording the teacher standing and speaking for the whole time and no ancillary material is available from the site, which is otherwise admirably uncluttered and easy to use.
