    Academic video with Mediasite is top strategic initiative with 1M+ lecture video views in past six months; UK institution keeps virtual classes going during COVID-19 pandemic

    MADISON, Wis., April 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The University of Leeds, home to one of the world’s largest automated video learning programs with Mediasite, is seeing a rapid growth of personal capture by faculty and students to facilitate 100 percent online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.  

    Academic video is a top strategic initiative for the United Kingdom institution – one of the world’s top 100 according to QS World University Rankings. Its latest evolution of Mediasite provides an unprecedented digital learning experience for its 38,000 students. Faculty and students are using My Mediasite to create, share and watch video lectures from their personal devices while they teach and study from home.  

    “Mediasite is mission-critical at University of Leeds, especially right now as we navigate a new world of 100 percent virtual learning. Academic video has been a top priority for us for many years, and we are pleased to see such an uptick in faculty and student use of Mediasite to create video lectures and assignments at home. Using Mediasite helps ensure we give our 38,000 students the most relevant, effective and personalized learning experience possible right now and always,” said Professor Neil Morris, Dean of Digital Education, University of Leeds.  

    Leeds maintains more than 239,000 hours of Mediasite video content that have been viewed more than 5.7 million times since 2014. The videos generally receive over 1 million views annually. However, there has been a rapid increase of over 300,000 views since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has already resulted in more than 1 million views since the start of the academic year just six months ago.  

    All the video content automatically goes into its Blackboard learning management system where faculty and students can access it. The content can be automatically closed captioned on demand by 3Play Media via an integration in Mediasite.  

    “The ease-of-use, control and security that Mediasite gives us is a huge benefit. If a lecturer wants to keep the content locked down for assessment purposes, they can. If they want to publish it more widely, they can do that easily from Mediasite too,” said Luke Haywood, Application Support, IT, University of Leeds.
