Digital Learning Services

We, at WSBE Rhode Island PBS, are committed to continue working with Rhode Island schools and districts and providing high-quality, low-cost video content supported curriculum and customized professional development and online graduate courses for teachers. We use video stream technology to connect your classroom and bring affordable high-quality digital media resources and learning tools.

What is Video Streaming?

Video Streaming is an application used to enhance lesson plans in a variety of subjects for students K-12 that include:

- Life Science & Biology
- Chemistry
- Language Arts & Reading
- Early Childhood

- Earth & Space Science
- Social Studies
- Health & Prevention

- Physical Science
- Mathematics
- General Science

Video Streaming technology is used to enhance instruction in a variety of subjects at all grade levels and refers to the process of viewing video over the Internet. A file is selected from a menu of video files stored on a remote server. The content is viewed through a media player while a video buffer stores and presents the information; the video file resides on a remote server for viewing although it can be downloaded directly onto the user's computer for later viewing. Streaming video usually means availability of video-on-demand, but it can also mean a video broadcast in real time as an event unfolds.
