Several prominent proponents of Mediasite by Sonic Foundry Inc. (NASDAQ:
SOFO), the trusted leader for video content management and webcasting
solutions, will present at The Sloan Consortium’s 19th Annual
International Conference on Online Learning next week.
Sonic Foundry, a Coast-to-Coast technology partner of the conference
Nov. 20 to 22, will record these sessions for the public to watch
on-demand.
The following will also be presented at the conference for onsite
attendees only.
In addition, Mediasite will live webcast the keynote and plenary
sessions, featured sessions, select information sessions and key vendor
sessions. Online audiences will be able to watch live from their
desktops or mobile devices, and the recordings will be archived for
on-demand viewing post-conference. This is the sixth year Sloan-C has
offered attendees a blended or hybrid conference via Mediasite for this
event. Virtual packages may be purchased on the Sloan Consortium
website, http://sloanconsortium.org/conference/2013/aln/virtual-attendance.
“By making our conference a hybrid event, we’re allowing those unable to
attend in person in Florida due to budget or time restrictions to still
get the full experience. They can still interact with other attendees
and ask speakers questions using the virtual attendance option via
Mediasite,” said Kathleen S. Ives D.M., acting chief executive officer
and executive director of Sloan-C. “We’re excited to continue our
long-standing relationship with Sonic Foundry to reach a global
audience.”
Sloan-C also hosts two other conferences each year for industry leaders.
Mediasite will webcast the 7th
Annual Emerging Technologies for Online Learning International Symposium
April 9-11, 2014, in Dallas, Texas, and the 11th
Annual Sloan Consortium Blended Learning Conference & Workshop
July 8-9 in Denver, Colo. to support Sloan-C’s goal of bringing its
educational programs to new online audiences.
