5. Key Common Challenges
Digital media literacy is hard
o Media creation is time consuming and complex – how do you teach and
encourage users (faculty, students..) to create video?
Economic pressures and new models of education
o Increase in remote learning and in need for recorded sessions
o Higher availability of content and better accessibility requirements
o New devices where content is consumed
Keeping pace
o Stay ahead, be innovative, be attractive to students
Be Social
o Increase engagement in internal social circles such as campus culture
o Increase exposure in external social networks such YouTube, Facebook
Cross-Campus Content Sharing
o Access content outside of your campus for research and citation
o Maintain proper attribution while using and repurposing content

o Presentation and Video playback synchronization
Broadcast and Record/Capture
o Ability to broadcast video to wide audiences
o Ability to record and capture from multiple devices
o Somewhat cumbersome and expensive to manage
Track & Measure
o Basic behavioral and quantitative statistics

7. Students expect to use media to learn
70+% - percentage of students
whose institutional selection
process was partially based on the
technological adequacy of the
campus
7% - Tablets and smartphones now
comprise 7% of total Internet traffic

8. Let’s challenge today…

9. Bring together innovative technologies to enhance the learning
environment
Securely enable collaboration and communication with rich media
Extend access to content, in campus, across campuses, between
universities.. Globally
Analyze and build tools for improving engagement and interaction
Encourage collaboration
Capture experiences, capture the class room interaction, Mix the
class room and remote
Improve content metadata and specifically temporal – Chapters,
commentary, descriptive, transcripts, clips…
