Scholastic Achievement

  • Anchorage School District
    2012

    “When Mediasite equipment arrived in the Anchorage School District I hit the ground running. There was great demand for video training, and trainers have been knocking at the door ever since. By the second year we surpassed the 1,000 video mark. We were running as quickly as possible just to keep up with the demand for recording. Mediasite gives us an edge by being able to provide what our staff needs when they need it.”

    “We’re flipping the paradigm of sage on the stage. The teacher sets up the recording and becomes the facilitator, and the student becomes the teacher in a sense – teaching not only other students but teachers as well. This is one area we really wanted to push to get the students hands on—that’s a great start in our district.”

Through Mediasite and publish-to-go it looks like we’ll be able to bypass the needs of the internet and provide hospice courses to these two programs in Africa. Once we work out the kinks and figure out how to make it work for these two programs, we hope to broaden our reach into other parts of Africa.”
