As a faculty member, I think that we can make recorded video really fit with today’s pedagogy. We are moving away from the sage on the stage to becoming the guide on the side. We’re encouraged to use multiple learning styles, interactive assignments, collaboration tools. We can marry those things with recorded video for some areas. We’re very reliant on this wonderful product, Mediasite."
Since we began using Mediasite, our professional development costs decreased significantly. Before we were traveling every week to schools across the regions, but now we’re able to produce Mediasite presentations from a studio or Faculty of Education space, which saves us thousands of dollars each year. Plus we only have to give presentations once, and that can be shared countless times on-demand to schools across the region.
The question was: "How do we create on-demand training modules to train our call agents?" The solution was simple. Mediasite. Mediasite allows us to create easy to follow training modules as well as provide employees with the option for retraining online.
The Center for Digital Education and Converge have released “The Blended & Virtual Learning Frontier Special Report.” This report comprehensively covers the variety of educational technologies involved in today’s blended and virtual learning environments. It gives education leaders real-world ideas for their own classrooms and online programs based on what their peers are already doing in this new frontier.
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 LeBron.
Frost & Sullivan summarizes the research that led to selecting Sonic Foundry for their 2012 Global Market Share Leadership of the Year Award for Lecture Capture Solutions. For six consecutive years, Sonic Foundry has remained the market share leader of the lecture capture solutions market.
Sonic Foundry sponsored Inside Higher Education and Babson Survey Research Group to conduct online learning surveys of faculty and academic technology administrators. The surveys garnered responses from representative samples of 4,564 faculty members and 591 administrators, from all types of institutions.

If you haven’t heard the hype about MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), you soon will.
These free classes are only offered online and they’re wide open to anyone who wants to sign up. Some of the biggest brands in academia have announced impressive MOOC plans, and a few superstar instructors have jumped in with both feet. Skeptics call MOOCs outliers, but most people agree that whatever happens, MOOCs will make an impact on the way we teach both students and adult learners in the future.
So what does this trend mean for you, your faculty and your campus?
When Maya Tutughamiarso, a graduate student in organic chemistry at Goethe-University Frankfurt in Germany first thought about how to teach a chemistry class at an Indonesian high school, she hoped she could use videoconferencing. There was only one problem—internet connectivity in Indonesia is unstable and slow. Then she learned about Mediasite.
