The Eduvision.TV web portal service allows Subscribers and the user’s they create to upload video via a secure web‐based interface for public viewing in their exclusive video portal over the Internet.

 

The video that is uploaded is organized by topical “channels” and is searchable by title, description, and keywords assigned by the Uploader and editable by Channel Managers and Site Administrators.

 

The Site Administrator (SA) can upload and approve video for their specific site, and has permissions to create additional SA’s, /Channel Managers (CM), Channel Contributors (CC), and Channels.

 

Each Channel is assigned at least one CM or SA who is responsible for reviewing and approving all video submissions into that Channel prior to the uploaded content being viewable by the general public.

 

Channel Managers, can upload and approve video and have the ability to create Channel Contributors.

 

Contributors are allowed to upload video into any Channel.

 

No video is able to be viewed by the public until approved by the Channel Manager or Site Administrator. All videos are ‘held for review” in the Administrative backend until the appropriate CM or SA reviews and approves the video submission for public viewing.

 

SA’s have additional administrative functions more fully described in the on‐line help system at www.eduvision.tv.
