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.”
In 2009, the University of Michigan Ross School of Business opened the doors to a new era of learning designed to enhance the digital culture that defines student life. Every room in the state-of-the-art 270,000 square foot building – from the large auditoriums to the intimate collaborative spaces – was equipped to support the most seamless use of integrated technologies while becoming a model of student learning efficiencies.
How did a university with minimal budget, one full time staffer and three distributed campuses, including a distance learning programme with 16,000 enrolled students, get to 2500 online presentations with 131,085 views?
Ask a Massey University professor, instructional designer and academic technologist and they will all tell you the same thing: vision, cooperation and Mediasite lecture capture technology.
Why go live? Brian Smith asks why not. As the Video Operations Supervisor for University of Florida, he’s been doing live streaming on campus for 11 years, with hundreds of live webcasts under his belt. And he believes going live was integral to the success of lecture capture on campus.
He’s overseen high-visibility, live webcasts for everything from homecoming parades to trustee and senate meetings, from commencement to alumni events to presidential search sessions. Even live webcasts with three Supreme Court justices and two governors.
Dr. Bob van den Brand simply wants students to pay more attention in class. It’s such a small thing, really. But the impact can be huge.
Engaged students get better grades and increase the pass rate for his courses. A better pass rate results in a decreased number of students who drop out in the first few years. High-achieving students give the professor more time to focus on teaching. Before you know it everyone is rolling along with their happy, well-educated, plenty-of-free-time selves.
Mediasite is going mobile - leading the way with live streaming to iPads, iPhones, iPods and more. From course lectures and online training to executive communications and special events, Mediasite 6 empowers learners everywhere with live and on-demand rich media streamed to their favorite devices.
But mobile support is just the beginning. Known for its rock-solid lecture capture and enterprise webcasting, Mediasite by Sonic Foundry continues to push the boundaries for recording, streaming, archiving, managing and tracking rich media knowledge and special events.
Dr. Jennifer Flatt taught for nine years in a traditional face-to-face way - desks, students, small groups, the occasional PowerPoint. When lecture capture came to the University of Wisconsin-Marinette campus, she was not initially happy about it. The thought of teaching on camera was intimidating, even scary. It was bad enough she'd have the opportunity to watch every second of her instruction, but she also felt like colleagues might judge her and her teaching.
Now that over 1000 campuses have deployed the Mediasite lecture capture platform, we asked faculty, staff and students from across the globe to share their reactions and results. Has teaching, learning and outreach been impacted in positive ways by the use of Mediasite in – and outside of – their classrooms?
