The educast service has a number of unique features, aimed at the academic community, compared to other services, namely: synchronous recording and playback of the speaker's presentation, online content editing that allows parts of the video to be selected and highlighted in new content, integration with distance learning tools, explicit rights of use through creative commons, display of content on open education repository networks, controlled access to content via "RCTSaai". It is also an infrastructure hosted at the FCCN datacenter, so it is not subject to any limitations imposed by foreign commercial services. See some examples of content created and made available via educast.
