What happens when you launch a technology initiative, including online learning, flipped classrooms and web content, at a long standing organization that’s been offering in-person training programs for 40 years? It could be a recipe for disaster but if done right, it can also open the doors to a world of opportunities.
We live in an era where video is being live-streamed, recorded and is rapidly becoming our primary source for learning something new. Leading corporations and education institutions have amazing opportunities to harness the power of video to advance their message, improve collaboration, expand business opportunities and educate the masses.
Sandia National Laboratories employs nearly 9,000 scientists, engineers, biologists and support staff, who work on projects related to the nation’s most challenging security issues. Over the years, they’ve amassed thousands of hours of video-based technical documentation, training and research. The content – much of which was created on outdated devices and exists in all sorts of formats – needs to be preserved for up to 75 years and meet the National Archives and Records Administration standards.
Do you fear planning a hybrid event because you’re not sure how it fits into your event strategy, you don’t know if your venue has the infrastructure to support it, or your AV budget may not support it? Does the long list of considerations – technologies, session formats, building a hybrid strategy – have you suffering from decision fatigue? Do you wonder whether your attendees will even understand or want to participate in an event that incorporates technology? Don’t worry. It’s easier than you think to create a hybrid meeting with the right plan in place.
Just when you’ve got your AV plan nailed down for the boardrooms, meeting rooms and training rooms, there’s a new trend taking hold to supplement the work your employees do – a dramatic shift toward BYOD (bring your own device) and consumerization. While employees have been using personal devices in the office since the first calculator, they’ve never been as functional, collaborative, personal or ubiquitous as they are now. And workers have never been more tech-savvy.
We've been recognized on a national basis as being a leader in technology. Adding Mediasite to that arsenal is just another tool in our toolbox where we can say 'OK, you want to capture something and spit it out to our clients in a way that's easy for them to get at, here's a way to do that.' "
We do a lot teaching businesses and communities around the country to become consumer destinations. In the past I used to have to travel to each one of these organizations, 70 to 80 organizations a year. Nowadays through our online training that we use with Mediasite, I only conduct 25 to 30 workshops a year.
We were looking for something that could streamline our production time and improve the quality of the finished recordings. The firm wanted a flexible solution that would allow it to deliver content that is 'flawless to end-users.' We must be able to communicate our expertise to others without confusing them about the technology, and Mediasite allows us to do this.
We had limited resources and we were only getting four presentations a year for a $40,000 price tag. Now with Mediasite we can record dozens of presentations throughout the year and the costs are much more affordable.
