What future plans do you have to expand video on campus? Our staff just needs to make sure their microphones are good, rather than having to go through every single room making sure the recording starts and stops on a schedule. So we use the API in Mediasite to automatically gather the schedule from the scheduling system. It’s not realistic for us to manually reach every single endpoint. We have a very small staff of five, and we manage five different buildings. We also integrated it into our scheduling system. We deployed 25 Mediasite encoders which enabled every classroom to have recording capability. What are the most important features of Mediasite for Stanford?Īutomation is the most important thing, as well as the integration with scheduling. It’s a very platform-agnostic technology so it really enables our users to be more mobile. Students, staff and faculty can interact with the video on their iPhones, iPads and Android devices. We capture quite a bit of content every day through the Mediasite system. Primarily at the medical school at Stanford we capture all of our core required courses. What is Mediasite to you and your organization?įor us Mediasite is a lecture capture tool as well as a video asset management platform. Mediasite had all the features, the quality, and all the end user tools that we found was necessary to replace our system. We captured all of the content with all the different systems, including our own system as a comparison. We did a bakeoff between all the vendors, who each brought their solution on premises. When we fast-tracked a replacement we assessed a number of different vendors including Sonic Foundry’s Mediasite. How did you choose a lecture capture system?īack in 2010 we created our own custom lecture capture system, which deprecated a year after we completed it. It’s really critical for the medical school curriculum that we have at Stanford. The students use the content to study, review and interact with each other with some team-based learning. It’s one of the highlights of coming to Stanford University School of Medicine. It’s important because our students demand it. We started with tape-based formats, moved to a real streaming platform, then moved to downloadable and a couple years ago we moved to Mediasite. Video capture has always been important for certain audiences, and it’s been a requirement for us since the 1970s. How would you describe the importance of video on your campus? They tested several solutions, and ultimately chose Mediasite because they found it to be, in their words, “the perfect fit.” Watch the video and read on for a candid Q&A with Trent Tanaka, the AV technology expert who ultimately chose Mediasite. The school had already been recording lectures, but sought to automate the process to more efficiently meet demand. Stanford University School of Medicine adopted Mediasite in 2013 for lecture capture and video management.
