From early pilot demonstrations to multi-million dollar fund raising, from classroom captures to international collaborations, Jim Jorstad, Director of Educational Technologies, will show you how innovative webcasting applications helped to redraw the traditional big picture communication efforts at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. In the span of a year, UW-La Crosse’s strategic deployment of Mediasite evolved into an effective outreach program that created important connections with new and untapped audiences—both within the community and on a global level.
Jim Goodlander, Associate Director of Technology, will walk you through a typical day of academic, training and event webcasting at the Sam M. Walton College of Business, one US News & World Report’s top 25 public undergraduate business schools. A leader in streaming classroom video since early 2000, the College webcasting program has grown from Managerial MBA programs with online components to conferences, guest speakers and special events that now attract a global audience.
The presentation will include:
Faculty from St. Mary’s University School of Law will describe the critical role technology plays in training students for the real world practice of law in a high-tech age, and judicial staff will discuss the driving forces behind the courtroom webcasting initiative between the University, Office of Court Administration and Texas Supreme Court. Law students will also provide insight on the impact of webcasting on their learning and professional development.
Presenters will discuss:
Staff from Lockheed Martin’s Integrated Systems and Solutions provides an introduction to its multicast-based communication system, Mediasite, at CTEC 2006 (Convergence Technologies Expo & Conference).
University of Pittsburgh faculty discuss the distance education program that led to sixteen Macedonia graduates receiving their Masters in Public Policy and Management from the University.
One hundred years ago the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse was founded and nationally recognized for its physical education program. Now they are known for other areas of educational excellence, but want to keep with the tradition by building a new sports complex to benefit the community and students. But the school needed support and funding to begin demolition and construction. The School turned to Mediasite by Sonic Foundry to help relay the message.
A pioneer in distance learning, Colorado State University's College of Business has revolutionized lecture capture by delivering global lectures via Mediasite. Since its inception in 1967 the distance MBA program has distributed degrees to students from more than 45 countries and six continents. The college started by mailing VHS tapes and DVDs to international students, but CSU was looking for a technology that could reach students in a flexible, cost-efficient way. The university turned to Mediasite by Sonic Foundry for a reliable and adaptable webcasting solution.
Today CSU's College of Business Distance MBA program uses Mediasite to deliver classroom lectures to a global student audience. Itoffer itsstudents a sense of independence while fostering an anytime, anyplace MBA program. Graduates have come to rely on Mediasite's high-quality streaming by watching lectures at home, abroad and while traveling to their next destination.
The Viticulture and Enology Science and Technology Alliance (VESTA) is a partnership of educational institutions, state agricultural agencies and industry that provides grape and wine education in Middle America. After experimenting with classroom technologies that resulted in frustrated students and staff, VESTA applied for and received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to purchase the Mediasite webcasting platform.
