Online lectures are moving to the top of the list, according to a study released by the University of Wisconsin E-Business Institute and Sonic Foundry. Set against the backdrop of a national trend for webcasting college lectures, the study was designed to understand student attitudes regarding the addition of lecture capture to existing courses.
Sonic Foundry pulled insights from over three dozen corporate and education case studies to list their top ten criteria for choosing an enterprise webcasting platform.
It happens every year. You face a lecture hall full of college freshmen and feel how cavernous the generation gap has become. To you Amazon is a river in South America; to them it's an online shopping giant. You understand what ‘don't touch that dial' means; they've always had a remote control. You wanted to be like Mike; their NBA heroes are Kobe and Shaq.

In 2004, the Dental School, University of Maryland, Baltimore envisioned a school offering state-of-the-art technology with lecture capture at its core. Students would have access to course content 24/7, and a newly-launched distance-ed program in dental hygiene would thrive with online lectures. After an extensive evaluation they selected Mediasite for their endeavor and off they went webcasting every lecture and lab session from that point forward.
Lawrence Schaaf, CIO and Dean of Academic Technology Services at North Hennepin Community College, has been charged with trying to solve three major issues on campus: student satisfaction, student performance, and student retention and completion.
