Educational Broadband Service (EBS)
This band of television channels was licensed to NOETC from the FCC. Formerly known as ITFS, EBS includes four channels, which can broadcast local programming prepared by students and staff, as well as programs produced elsewhere. NOETC also maintains a Community Calendar, which is updated with topics of interest to our local educational community.
Web-based/Online
Through NOETC, faculty and administrators may access eLearning to put elements of their class curriculum and other information online. Blogs and web-based course management tools (CMT) make using the internet easy without formal training and can be customized as desired.
Higher Education Access Television (H.E.A.T.)
As programmer for New Orleans' higher education access television channel, NOETC delivers college credit telecourses to the general public and maintains the ability to offer degree programs and continuing education credits to the corporate environment. H.E.A.T. also serves as the community's window on the higher education experience, featuring lectures, seminars, workshops, and locally produced student programming.
Streaming Media
A user can view the audio or video files directly from the Web server for immediate playback. This avoids time consuming downloads of large files. NOETC supports a Streaming Media server, where instructors can store and deliver audio and video streaming media files.
With both downlink and uplink capability, NOETC offers faculty and community members the ability to interact with sites across the state, or around the world. This outreach service offers professionals the widest possible range of programming options. PBS/ALSS, Deutches Welle TV and the Research Channel are just three examples of programming exclusive to New Orleans.
