  • University of Auckland, New Zealand
    2011

Global Reach

  • Glenn Geher
    2011

  • Wharton School of Business
    2010

    "The instructors were so deeply immersed in their areas of expertise that it was just a stunning reaction, in near real-time, to one of the most incredible financial events of the last 100 years. Mediasite was very valuable in delivering that information. The professor was happy to open the content up to students in other areas. We adjusted quickly because we knew the information would lend itself nicely to the rich media format."

    Alex Milne
    Senior Director for public technology
    Wharton School of Business

Association

  • Tennessee Bar Association
    2011

    "During the Nashville floods we used Mediasite to produce three webcasts explaining rules and regulations that attorneys might need to pass on to their pro-bono clients. Our speakers covered timely info about filing for federal government aid and the home buyout program instituted by our local government. Our goal was to get the information out quickly and to as many people as possible, so these webcasts were offered free of charge."

  • Massey University Information Technology Services
    2010

    Associate director of customer services in the IT department
    Massey University

  • North Carolina State University

    "If I don't have Mediasite, I don't have a lot of students. I have those students who were not in class go to Mediasite. They can find out what happened that day and they can come to the next class session caught up. I have had distance education students from as far away as California who have seen my course on the Internet."

  • Adeline Justeson and California State University Fullerton
    2009

    "There was no way I would have been able to continue my semester without this program. Luckily, because Mediasite has such great technology I really felt like I had my teacher right here in my room with me. The Mediasite technology will, in my opinion, help us solve some of the nursing shortage crisis because it will allow more students to have access to professors. More students can take classes online."

That is really what it's all about."
