Log In to UNITE Courses
Log in to your UNITE courses through the UNITE Course Media Site with your University of Minnesota Internet ID (aka "x.500" account).
You will also be able to log in to your UNITE courses through the University of Minnesota myU Portal . UNITE courses are listed among your enrolled courses under the myCourses tab o the myU portal. If you do not have a MU Portal account, see How to Log In to UNITE Courses.
(NOTE FOR SPRING 2009: some students are finding their UNITE courses listed under the myCourses tab in the myU portal but no UNITE links - if this occurs for you, please try the UNITE Video Portal option).
Access for non-UNITE Students
Non-UNITE students may access the streaming video archives on a delayed basis, subject to instructor approval on a course-by-course basis. Read this Announcement for On-Campus Students.
Seminars and Colloquia
UNITE partners with several University departments to present live and archived streaming video of their on-campus seminars and colloquia to those outside the University.

Streaming Video and Podcasts
UNITE offers live and asynchronous access to course lectures for a variety of courses.
Live Access: Streaming Video
For live lectures, UNITE "streams" video to your computer (proper, free software and a fast Internet connection is required).
Asynchronous Access: Streaming
Video Archives and Video Podcasts
Streaming Video archives also require a fast Internet connection while viewing. Or download Video Podcasts to view on your computer, iPod, PSP, Zune, or other device. Use our RSS feeds to automate the podcast download schedule.
The streaming video archives and podcasts are typically available about an hour after each course session and are available until the day of the final exam for each course.
View demonstrations, learn about streaming video, podcasts, system requirements and test your Internet connection at our "How UNITE Streaming Video and Podcasts Work" page.
UNITE Two-Pane Videos
UNITE has added a new "two-pane" video format for improved viewing by off-campus students. The left pane always shows the classroom cameras, while the right pane displays a higher-resolution feed from a secondary source (computer, overhead, etc.). No additional software or change in connection speed is needed to view this new format.
The original "one-pane" view (which alternates between sources) will still be available for full compatibility with portable media players.
Please see our new Streaming Video Demonstrations, as well as our updated Video Podcast and RSS Feed Demonstrations.
UNITE Online Student Lounge
Students enrolled in UNITE sections of courses are also enrolled into our UNITE Online Student Lounge, a WebVista-based online site.
In the UNITE Online Student Lounge, students are able to meet with other UNITE students online to discuss courses, programs, the Univeristy and UNITE itself. No faculty have access to the UNITE Online Student Lounge.
Access the UNITE Online Student Lounge through the myU web portal - it will appear among courses in which you are enrolled under the myCourses tab.
