An Introduction to Pay per Access
In 2006, when the Ontario Hospital Association first began webcasting with Mediasite, our goal was to simply engage our members through a new communication technology. To help motivate members we offered free access to our Mediasite content. With content demand quickly exceeding our capacity to provide this service for free, and to maintain and expand our service, we thought about how we could cover more costs and explored potential revenue generation. Although the the Pay per Access model had been around for several years, for a small organization that had only introduced e-commerce in 2004, moving to a PPA model was going to be a challenge. Todd shares how OHA introduced PPA, the underlying changes to their IT infrastructure and some of the Mediasite features they needed to review.

Connective Webcasting: Exploring Elements of Social Media to Create Engagement
Social Science has developed socio-cultural theories from studies of social media that are potentially useful for connecting our audience or clients with our webcasts. These theories look at the underlying reasons why people love to interact with social media and how it is evolving to meet their social requirements of cultural interaction and daily communication. They can also help us to understand how users socially construct their reality or even why there is such rapid engagement in this environment. Armed with these insights, Mark will recommend ways to improve your webcasts using specific factors of engagement, and he'll share current effective practices.

Lessons Learned: Supporting the First Major Online Learning Project in Nigeria Using Mediasite
Each year up to 1.3 million students qualify to begin their undergraduate education in Nigeria. However, universities are only able to accommodate 250,000 students with campus studies each year. This imbalance has created a great demand for distance learning to allow more students access to in-country education. Kirby shares how MVU is leveraging its Mediasite expertise to create a large body of online content by recording lecturers at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in partnership with the Center for Distance Learning (CDL) at OAU and Venture Garden Group, a technology consulting company in Lagos, Nigeria. Implementing a large scale Mediasite project in a developing country poses significant challenges. Kirby shares his experiences training novice lecturers in country, acquiring and delivering Mediasite Recorders and deciding where to locate their Mediasite server, thereby providing valuable insights to those facing similar opportunities in less-developed countries.

A variety of users share and discuss their unique Mediasite applications, best practices or how-tos. Choose the topics that interest you most and spend time in informal, small group conversations: The Power Dies before Your Live Event - What to Do?!?
Todd Hutchings, Director of Distance Learning, Ontario Hospital Association
Fenton Jagroop, Technology Coordinator, Ontario Hospital Association - It’s minutes before your live Mediasite webcast and over 100 people are signed in to watch. All of a sudden your network connection fails or even worse, the power goes out. You have no time and no way of communicating the problem to your participants. What do you do? Ontario Hospital Association, unfortunately, learned from this experience and has developed a fairly easy and effective solution to the problem. Todd and Fenton share their emergency communication plan and how a little pre-planning can help you manage an emergency situation. They'll even demonstrate their plan live to show just how simple and effective it really is – because one day, when you least expect it, it’s going to happen.
Innovation in Sight: Growing With Mediasite
Jim Jorstad, Director of Academic Techologies, University of Wisconsin - La Crosse - Jim illustrates the impressive growth and resulting diverse uses of Mediasite over a five-year period at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. From its original beginnings through fundraising and academic use, to a broad spectrum of training and administrative uses, learn how a campus grew from one Mediasite to nine through innovative and dynamic projects and initiatives.
Centralized and Automatic Lecture Capture Environments
Ullrich Grimm-Allio, Conference and Media Technician, Goethe University - Frankfurt - Ullrich shares the benefits of Goethe University's centralized, automatic lecture capture approach and how the three pillars of a university (students, teachers, staff) and their needs influence his work. Although these there groups seem to have divergent requirements, through his efforts he brings them back together for successful outcomes.
Beyond the Talking Head
Cheryl Johnson, Technology Production Coordinator, Anchorage School District - Some content is better presented without using a typical lecture format. Creative stories can be developed using a variety of software and then uploaded directly into Mediasite. Cheryl provides samples of videos created by meshing various programs including animation, music and screen capture. A technique used to intermesh video with still screen capture using dual Silverlight Windows will also be demonstrated.
Keeping Your Viewer Engaged: Live Checks, Questions & Other Interactive Features
Robert Jan Brouwer, Co-founder, MediaMission - Delivering engaging content is more and more about how viewers interact with it. With a new Mediasite Player API (thanks, Darmesh!) MediaMission hav developed a custom player that incorporates additional interactivity. Robert Jan demonstrates an "are you still there?" button, interactive Q&A for a medical centre application and how such interaction can be controlled through a live or on demand dashboard.
The (ed)X Factor in Online Education
Leon Huijbers "Head of the Library NewMedia Centre, Technical University of Delft - The X Factor is that un-definable "something" that makes for star quality. By joining the edX consortium with four world-class Bachelors in Massive Online Open Courses, we are committed to defining this un-definable “something” in fresh added value. MOOCs are all about rich-/multi-media and will have an impact and even some consequences on our daily capture routine. They create opportunities for fresh approaches to enhance online learning. Leon SHOWS and discusses TU Delft’s MOOC approach and also SHARES their dilemmas. Most of all, he’d like to pick your brain and compose with you a set of fresh principles that make for star quality while using Mediasite.
From Teaching to Learning: Mediasite as a New Educational Tool
Rie Emoto - Associate Professor, Iwate University - There's the possibility to use Mediasite as a new educational tool for teachers if we can shift the focus from “recording teaching” to “recording learning.” There are various instructional styles in today’s university classrooms – one instructor delivers a lecture, while another has students discuss topics in class. Rie discusses how to record these different class styles and as a result, uncovers that Mediasite is not only a tool to capture what's happening in the room, but also a tool to empower “student learning.”
Insider’s Look at the New Mediasite Building Block for Blackboard
Matt McCurdy, Associate VP Education, Sonic Foundry - Mediasite Building Block for Blackboard is an optional add-on module that uses published APIs from both Mediasite and Blackboard to extend Mediasite content delivery in Blackboard.
