Queensland University of Technology has come a long way.
Dennis Clark, applications programmer for the Australian university, can clearly remember the days of painstakingly recording the audio from lectures on cassettes (which meant equipping a lecture hall with a cassette recorder, retrieving the cassette after class, duplicating the recording and eventually placing the recording in a library).
The Center for Financial Security at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is making the country a little more financial savvy with its monthly Family Financial Security Webinar Series.
Five years ago, after years of teaching to a group of students the old-fashioned way, Cooke Real Estate School in Florida faced a major challenge – the local real estate market had dried up.

In an era of budget reductions and cost-cutting, cost and efficiency are primary considerations for institutions of higher learning. And yet, the California State University, Fullerton School of Nursing has been able to continue to provide high quality support services to students while reducing the time required for these functions.
Ever find an image on the web and wonder if you can use it in a presentation? Have you shown a YouTube video in a course that is also being streamed online? Are you familiar with the TEACH Act?Do you know what “fair use” really means for you, your instructors and presenters or your organization? Yeah, it’s complicated. But it’s worth the effort to master the basics. Especially now when online presentations, e-learning and virtual courses are being delivered via live webcast and streaming video at an unprecedented rate.
No one has been thinking strategically about knowledge capture in a classroom as long as John DeAngelo. From flipped classes to sage on the stage, more online instruction is created by faculty in his classrooms than anywhere else.
He’s put almost every lecture capture brand to the test as one of the first college-level CIOs in higher education, personally supervising the acquisition, installation and replacement of some of the largest capture projects in the country.
So if you’ve been thinking that all lecture capture is created equal, he’ll tell you, “Think again.”
Eastern New Mexico University uses Mediasite lecture capture by Sonic Foundry for flipped classroom, hybrid classes and dual enrollment. ENMU is the third largest university in the state, covering a particularly large geographical area. The university wanted to make education accessible to the region’s traditional, non-traditional and high school dual enrollment students.
Mediasite provides a platform for The University of Auckland’s Faculty of Education to meet school e-Learning requirements and extend its reach to teachers in schools throughout the country.
