K-12 education

Scott Holcomb

We’re flipping the paradigm of sage on the stage. The teacher sets up the recording and becomes the facilitator, and the student becomes the teacher in a sense – teaching not only other students but teachers as well.

The impressive numbers to me are the more than 170,000 views and the 114,500 hours of content in our library. That’s a lot of professional development and has saved our district a ton of money because now our teachers are able to complete training on demand via Mediasite. It saves them time.

Since we began using Mediasite, our professional development costs decreased significantly.

Plus we only have to give presentations once, and that can be shared countless times on-demand to schools across the region.
A Practical Response to Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

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.

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?

Copyright Basics for Online Presentations

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.
