Register to read “Academic Video at A Tipping Point: Preparing Your
Campus for the Future” by industry-recognized author and journalist JD
Solomon, editorial director for University Business, at www.sonicfoundry.com/UBwhitepaper.

to watch his companion webinar, hosted by Sonic Foundry.
Video is the foundation to cutting edge trends including personalized
education, flipped instruction and MOOCs. Universities large and small
are evaluating how best to harness the power of video to meet student
expectations and broaden reach. The whitepaper and webinar explore the
tipping point of academic video, the point at which the medium is poised
to be as pervasive a learning tool as text. You’ll learn:
-
The strategies, tactics and technologies best suited to secure,
search, index, archive and stream the video created on campus
-
How leading universities have already deployed enterprise-wide video
capture and management
-
First-person faculty findings on transforming existing courses into
interactive personalized learning environments
“Video has been used in education for over half a century, and for good
reason. Humans are visual learners, and video is an excellent medium for
illustrating processes and systems and depicting places and events far
afield from the college campus,” Solomon said. “The massive amounts of
video content online — now over 50 percent of all web traffic — proves
that when consumers have the ability to easily create video from any
device, they do so.”
“The attitude toward academic video from faculty members is changing.
They’re accepting the shift in pedagogy, seeing it as a tool that
enhances learning rather than something that forces them into new ways
of teaching,” said Sean Brown, vice president of Sonic Foundry. “Sonic
Foundry is proud to partner with University Business to support
this study of video in the classroom and its important role in the
future.”
