Healthcare Winner- Connecticut Department of Public Health

The Connecticut Department of Public Health uses Mediasite to deliver a variety of online training, from day-long sessions for local health departments to training for nursing home administrators, team leaders and staff.

Since it began using Mediasite, the agency has recorded more than 240 programs that have garnered over 13,000 views. Mediasite has eliminated travel time and reduced training costs while increasing accessibility to learning content. 

The department has trained over 1,000 housing code officials at just $18 per student. That's a huge difference from the $175 per course that it would have cost if it used a commercial provider.

"Mediasite produced a cost-benefit ratio of 14 to 1. That's fantastic, especially in these times of shrinking budgets," said Christopher Stan, the department's distance learning coordinator.
