Interactive television (generally known as iTV) describes a number of techniques that allow viewers to interact with television content as they view it.
Interactive television represents a continuum from low interactivity (TV on/off, volume, changing channels) to moderate interactivity (simple movies on demand without player controls) and high interactivity in which, for example, an audience member affects the program being watched. The most obvious example of this would be any kind of real-time voting on the screen, in which audience votes create decisions that are reflected in how the show continues. A return path to the program provider is not necessary to have an interactive program experience. Once a movie is downloaded for example, controls may all be local. The link was needed to download the program, but texts and software which can be executed locally at the set-top box or IRD (Integrated Receiver Decoder) may occur automatically, once the viewer enters the channel.

There are microphones located at various points around the room. This offers a group video conferencing facility, giving the lecturer the capacity to bring outside experts into the learning experience. Access Grid allows discussion with students and experts from other institutions. The aim is to create a sense of dynamic, ongoing conversation. CILASS has developed links with other cognate CETLs which also have this capability and we are actively using the technology together.
