RECast is a video playback system designed at the Software Engineering Institute of Carnegie Mellon University.  This system focuses on providing students with a with an experience as close as possible to sitting in the actual classroom. Let's face it - training is a hassle. On site classes are expensive, require travel, and require everyone to learn at the same time. RECast aims to fix this problem by providing the same material online with a unique learning experience. RECast combines an ASP.NET MVC back end with client elements including JQuery and Adobe Flex.

The Student Perspective​

The Virtual Training Environment (VTE) is a Learning Management System designed at the Software Engineering Institute of Carnegie Mellon University. This system is designed to provide students and instructors with a self managed ecosystem, including user generated content and aspects of social networking. It may be used for independent learners, synchronous instruction, or semi-synchronous instruction. Courses may be built using SCORM content, RECast presentations, podcasts, demos, quizzes, surveys, assignments, or virtual labs.

I am going to do a detailed writeup on this system in the future, but until our launch, here is a gallery of screen-shots:
