Education

Educational institutions often sit upon entire treasure troves of learning assets contained within libraries and instructors’ offices. The challenge today is to digitize these assets and make them available to the faculty, students, and the wider world. The push towards digitization is driven by several factors not least of which are demands from students raised in the digital age for a greater focus on technology-enabled classrooms:

  • Universities, state education departments, and K-12 need to find new and effective ways of reaching greater numbers of students from increasingly disparate communities.
  • Library digitization projects and increased usage of online course materials and e-learning repositories allow educational institutions to remain competitive in attracting the best students and instructors.
  • Educational institutions are constrained by limited budgets, increasing student expectations, and evolving curricula.
  • Instructors are challenged with the task of integrating e-learning environments with in-class teaching programs.

TeleScope™ for Education is used by many leading universities, colleges, state education departments and K-12 programs, as well as by publishers for the educational market. TeleScope allows these organizations to manage valuable rich media assets in a way that supports e-learning initiatives, archiving projects, and integration of disparate file storage systems.

By taking a fully integrated approach to the end-to-end lifecycle management of rich media collections, on-line curricula and course materials, educational institutions can create and deliver powerful and interactive real-time learning objects. By leveraging workflows, organizations can create, reuse, track, review, manage, and approve course materials while maintaining proper security, permissions, control, and management across departments, campuses, and networks.

With this solution, academic institutions can deliver a broad range of high quality, rich media learning materials to support their specific, courseware development and course enrichment initiatives.

"Using TeleScope, we can now leverage powerful digital workflows and enable the integration of these digital video collections into our curriculum of face-to-face, hybrid, and web-based courses." - Gallaudet University
