Currently many video-lecturing portals are commercially available. The effort to find and commit to the best portal however seems ineffective, because the internet scenery continuously changes and grows. It is more important to try to achieve the furthest possible syndication of content by using quick and simple adaptations to current technologies and formats. The tele-TASK archive achieves this with more than 2.500 video records of over 600 different lectures. This comes up to an overall duration of more than 4 months of permanently streaming video lecture content. This sample provides an adequate base for researching the technology use in different academic fields and representative evaluation sets. Besides streaming content in RealMedia format, the lecture recording system tele-TASK uses the FlashVideo and MP4 formats. Our recent approach has been to develop workflows that allow us to automatically deliver different video portals with our content. Besides www.tele-task.de you can also find tele-TASK lectures on the iTunesU portal by Apple, Youtube and Yovisto. Connections to even more distinct portals and new content distribution formats are currently under construction. This paper describes our concepts and experiences with the distribution of video lecture content to the above mentioned portals. It furthermore delivers insights into the results of the evaluations performed by our team and shows the methods on which the evaluation results will be consequently used to implement new features in our workflows. Our approach will ultimately increase the number of potential video learners and enhance the (Tele-Teaching) process.
