===Technology=== MIT OCW was originally served by a custom content management system based on [[Microsoft|Microsoft's]] [[Microsoft Content Management Server|Content Management Server]], which was replaced in mid-2010 with a [[Plone (software)|Plone]]-based [[content management system]]. The publishing process is described by MIT as a "large-scale digital publishing infrastructure" that consists of planning tools, a content management system (CMS), and the MIT OpenCourseWare content distribution infrastructure.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/help/faq4/index.htm |title=Free Online Course Materials | FAQ: Technology | MIT OpenCourseWare |publisher=Ocw.mit.edu |access-date=2012-04-03 |archive-date=2010-04-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100419151906/http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/help/faq4/index.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Video content for the courses was originally primarily in [[RealMedia]] format. In 2008, OCW transitioned to using [[YouTube]] as the primary [[digital video]] streaming platform for the site, embedding YouTube video back into the OCW site.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/user/MIT |title=MIT |publisher=YouTube |access-date=2012-04-03 |archive-date=2021-03-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301045704/https://www.youtube.com/user/MIT |url-status=live }}</ref> OCW video and audio files are also provided in full for offline downloads on [[iTunes Store|iTunesU]] and the [[Internet Archive]]. In 2011, OCW introduced an [[iPhone]] app called LectureHall in partnership with Irynsoft.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ocw.mit.edu/about/media-coverage/press-releases/iphone-lecturehall |title=Free Online Course Materials | MIT OpenCourseWare Announces iPhone App for Video Lectures | MIT OpenCourseWare |publisher=Ocw.mit.edu |date=2011-02-04 |access-date=2012-04-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327130556/http://ocw.mit.edu/about/media-coverage/press-releases/iphone-lecturehall/ |archive-date=2012-03-27}}</ref>
