MediaCast is Back

image.png

We are pleased to announce that MediaCast is back up and running!   After a major hardware failure, most of the data has been recovered and is back in place and ready to access!

There are a few files that were not fully recovered, so you may find an occasional resource that you want to use is not playing correctly.  You can report that title to us at helprequest@aaps.k12.mi.us and we will work on recreating that resource.

MediaCast is accessed through any browser using an AAPS Active Directory login.  The address is mediacast.aaps.k12.mi.us

Titles that were purchased by AAPS libraries are also linked in the Destiny catalog.  Simply click the direct link in the Destiny record.
