The multimedia technology is a strong selling point. Mediasite streamlines production efforts, because audio, video and PowerPoint presentations can be captured simultaneously, and the complete presentations can be packaged in-house.

Mediasite encapsulates the entire classroom experience, helping students put themselves back in that environment. Reviewing the lecture in its complete format helps them remember what happened in class, down to the hand gestures of the faculty member.

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. This is one area we really wanted to push to get the students hands on—that’s a great start in our district.
Scott Lawson

As our Mediasite video library continues to grow, we find that different groups need to present custom playlists of presentations based on specific topics or themes. Allowing anyone in the organization to curate catalogs on the fly from search terms will have a big impact on our ability to customize the experience for different audiences and allow us to maximize our collection of on-demand rich media content.

Using Mediasite to webcast commencement is part of our culture. Many of our graduates have family who live out of state, out of the country, or are deployed in military service. Streaming our ceremonies live with Mediasite invites everyone to join in the excitement no matter where they are, and eases the financial burden on those who aren’t able to travel long distances to campus.

Our new building provides an opportunity for us to transform the way we teach, collaborate and create new knowledge. Our school increasingly finds its people and their ideas spread out across the world. We selected Mediasite because, like Ross, it is a leader in capturing and delivering information globally.
Scott MacGougan

There is a general consensus that Mediasite really is an effective way to share the information. They get a more engaged experience that helps them to better take in and retain the information.

How to Produce Big Webcasts with Small Crews

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the one-camera shoot for a streaming video webcast. But sometimes the high-profile nature of your speakers, or your viewers, is going to demand a bit more production polish and visual variety to keep them engaged. While most of us don’t have a full production crew on call, ready to come to our rescue with multiple camera people, a producer, director, switcher, lighting and more…Russell Investment Group has figured out how to run it all with just one person. That’s right. One person, and some pretty nifty gear.
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. Some of the biggest brands in academia have announced impressive MOOC plans, and a few superstar instructors have jumped in with both feet. 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?
