What happens when you launch a technology initiative, including online learning, flipped classrooms and web content, at a long standing organization that’s been offering in-person training programs for 40 years? It could be a recipe for disaster but if done right, it can also open the doors to a world of opportunities.
We live in an era where video is being live-streamed, recorded and is rapidly becoming our primary source for learning something new. Leading corporations and education institutions have amazing opportunities to harness the power of video to advance their message, improve collaboration, expand business opportunities and educate the masses.
Sandia National Laboratories employs nearly 9,000 scientists, engineers, biologists and support staff, who work on projects related to the nation’s most challenging security issues. Over the years, they’ve amassed thousands of hours of video-based technical documentation, training and research. The content – much of which was created on outdated devices and exists in all sorts of formats – needs to be preserved for up to 75 years and meet the National Archives and Records Administration standards.
Do you fear planning a hybrid event because you’re not sure how it fits into your event strategy, you don’t know if your venue has the infrastructure to support it, or your AV budget may not support it? Does the long list of considerations – technologies, session formats, building a hybrid strategy – have you suffering from decision fatigue? Do you wonder whether your attendees will even understand or want to participate in an event that incorporates technology? Don’t worry. It’s easier than you think to create a hybrid meeting with the right plan in place.
Just when you’ve got your AV plan nailed down for the boardrooms, meeting rooms and training rooms, there’s a new trend taking hold to supplement the work your employees do – a dramatic shift toward BYOD (bring your own device) and consumerization. While employees have been using personal devices in the office since the first calculator, they’ve never been as functional, collaborative, personal or ubiquitous as they are now. And workers have never been more tech-savvy.
A primary benefit of Mediasite for the center is the ability to provide timely, up-to-date clinical training to health providers. With this technology, poorly funded groups in many global communities that can't afford to lose providers to travel can have the opportunity to be educated in new discoveries and advances in infectious diseases.
With its user friendly interface and easy-to-use web functionality, Mediasite will continue to be our primary system for internal training, educating and spreading important health and safety innovations throughout our province-wide network.
In our first year, we've had over 6,000 views of our on-demand video content. Our volunteer educators are giving lectures all around the U.S., and our goal is to increase our distance learning capabilities to include even more online programming on different topics. Mediasite for me means innovation. It gives us the freedom to try new things and reach more attorneys nationwide.
This groundbreaking study on hybrid events – a meeting or event with at least one group of face-to-face participants connecting with other participants in one or more additional locations – is the most comprehensive to date, drawing on interviews and surveys from more than 1,800 participants.

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?
