MADISON, Wis. - Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the recognized market leader for rich media webcasting and knowledge management, today announced that the company's Event Services group will webcast the Sloan-C International Symposium on Emerging Technology Applications for Online Learning. Sonic Foundry is a platinum sponsor of the event which will be held May 7-9, 2008 at the Carefree Resort in Carefree, Arizona.
The Symposium provides the latest information on emerging technology applications for online learning. It is geared to experienced professionals and interested newcomers to online learning who hail from a variety of work sectors, including higher education, continuing education, business, government, health care, professional associations and nonprofit organizations.
"Sloan-C aims to improve access to learning for everyone and is leading the way in mixed-format conferences. For so many of us who have to be in at least two places at once, webcasting with Mediasite enables us to communicate from wherever we are," said Janet C. Moore, chief learning officer at The Sloan Consortium. "Symposium participants can gain the same knowledge shared at the conference whether they are in the same room or across the country."
Among the featured presenters are Diane Zorn, York University Professor, on the Top Six Reasons Faculty Choose to Teach Online, and Sean Brown, Sonic Foundry's VP of Education on Webcasting ROI in Higher Education.
Sonic Foundry's Event Services group consists of systems engineers and project managers with an extensive knowledge of audio/video production and webcasting. The group and its strategic partners supply technical webcasting services and expertise to organizations who seek to complement their conference or event with viewing over the web. Since its launch in January 2007, the Event Services group has provided live and on-demand webcasting for clients ranging from Fortune 500 corporations and university associations to sporting events and charitable organizations.
