Internet broadcast spreads knowledge in Brazilian state

October 21st, 2009

Students from Brazil’s Amazon State University have developed technology to broadcast academic courses through the Internet to schools and universities across the state of Amazonas.

The TV broadcast on the Internet will allow students from the state to watch courses, workshops, conferences and debates produced in state capital Manaus. So far, 700 reception points have been installed in public schools and universities, local media reported Tuesday.

The project is part of the ongoing Brazilian Science and Technology National Week, which is aimed at promoting scientific activities all over the country.

Amazon Federal University President Marcia Perales said the event was a great opportunity for enterprises and universities to present their projects and contribute to scientific education.
