“MediaCore also enables public content,” she says. “We’ve done reach-outs to alums and friends of the university for the its 250th anniversary and asked them to submit content that tells their stories. They’re doing this through MediaCore, [then the] media director edits that content and puts it online. It’s a source of community engagement.”
Bell says the only downside to MediaCore is that users aren’t able to upload a video to more than one video collection.
“If you had a collection that was made up of academic videos, and one collection was about African studies and another collection [was about another topic] and I wanted to use them both, I would have to upload it separately to each place,” she says. “It takes up space and is a pain. We’re hoping to have this resolved next quarter.”
James Cross, the director of education for MediaCore says just as in Brown’s case, video consumption is one of the biggest parts of the learning experience in higher education.
Because of this, he says MediaCore is able to solve colleges’ video problems by providing them with tools to engage students.
“Because students are watching so much video content, when it comes time for them to see learning content, they expect same level of experience,” he says. “Students expect to watch HD video where they are, and have a slick user interface. We package it, adapt to higher education institutions’ needs, and power it across devices.”
