3459 - Beyond Cable: Making Smart Streaming Choices
Course Description
ONLINE: Whether you still subscribe to cable TV or not, when it comes to the ever-expanding selection of streaming video content, deciding what to watch and how to watch it can be daunting. This updated course guides students through the maze of technology and content available today to help them make the best use of their time and money on streaming services, and, for some, guides them through whether and how to drop cable TV service. Learn the basics of over-the-air broadcasts, streaming devices (e.g., Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV) and how both on-demand and live streaming services work. We'll cover details on connecting and using devices and services, and explore online resources to find content and choose services. Participants are encouraged to log their TV viewing prior to beginning the course to help them in planning. This course will empower students to create a personalized game plan for a more thoughtful, cost-effective and enjoyable viewing experience. | Lecture + Q&A.
