创作 Announces Cross-Campus Education Suite
Designed to assist educators trying to manage the flood of media in higher education, 在线视频平台 创作 yesterday announced the launch of its Cross-Campus Education Suite.
Making its debut with the suite is 创作's MediaSpace for Education which is designed to be an out-of-the-box solution that functions like a "Campus YouTube." Another component is the set of Learning Management System Extensions, which integrate 创作's media platform into Blackboard, Moodle, 酒井法子, 和Desire2Learn.
During the launch webinar, learning technology blogger Joshua Kim of Dartmouth College observed that "education means media,但与此同时, “我们被淹没了." He characterized the typical way colleges and universities handle online media as the "industrial model" where only a few people have control. Instead, he said educators need a "post-industrial" or Web 2.0 model where everyone, including students, can participate.
MediaSpace for education was designed for several key use cases, according to Leah Belsky, 创作's senior director of strategic development. 在内部, MediaSpace can serve as a campus YouTube, a portal to distribute lecture capture videos, or a place to find teaching materials. 外部, it can function as a video channel for an institution's public website, featuring public communications, 校园活动, 还有现场讲座.
MediaSpace spares students and faculty from having to deal with the details of media management by providing only the functionality they need or are supposed to have. Users can be permitted to browse, 视图, 上传视频, 添加元数据, and even edit media using the features of the 创作 platform. User permissions can be managed through integration with a campus single sign-on.
"Campuses often find that the Learning Management System is their most visited site," says 创作 Building Block developer George Kroner, yet getting video into an LMS can be difficult. They don't have integrated media streaming, 代码转换, 或者交付工具, and large media files can slow a system to a halt. 创作's LMS Extensions take the same tools available in MediaSpace and make them accessible from inside a campus LMS. 在那里, teachers and students can find course media, 添加自己的内容, or upload and edit video assignments that are all managed by the 创作 platform.
创作's Cross-Campus Education Suite is available as a hosted service or as a self-hosted deployment.
