Student-made videotapes will be shown on the AppalNet. Students can also broadcast live programs from Wey Hall and advertise school events and activities. However, one question is still pending: can students rent videotaped movies through the AppalNet? Although this would probably be illegal, the cost of a subscription to AppalNet is approximately $70 per year per student.

The authorized user will be able to view the student’s account and make payments on their behalf.

Showing student-made videotapes on AppalNet
If you are a student, you may have seen student-made videotapes broadcast on AppalNet. These programs are broadcast at the request of faculty and students. You can request a broadcast in advance, and the Belk Library will broadcast the videotapes on certain days and times, maybe three or four times. You may even give your students the assignment of watching the videotapes as homework.

Appal Net is a broadcast service provided by the university. Last Wednesday, students from Watauga College viewed a program on the university’s broadcast service. About two-thirds of the group watched the program in their residence halls; the remainder watched the program in the classroom.
