Virage Platform Enhances The Educational Experience at the University of Arizona
Online Video Transforms Classroom Instruction into Knowledge On-Demand
SAN MATEO, Calif - March 22, 2001 - Virage, Inc. a leading provider of software and services that enable video for strategic online applications, today announced that the University of Arizona is using the Virage Video Application Platform to provide searchable streaming video of select courses at a University website. The initiative, which is part of the University's Virtual Adaptive Learning Architecture (VALA) research grant and the Faculty Center for Instructional Innovation (FCII), demonstrates an improved method of capturing, containing and circulating information within academic institutions. The Virage platform creates a knowledge distribution model that adds a powerful new dimension to the educational experience.
Over the past year, Virage technology has been used to enhance the wealth of academic information available to University of Arizona students. Professors have the option of videotaping classroom lectures and streaming the video content in a searchable online format from a University of Arizona website, where students can then search for specific course material and review lectures at any time. By including the content online, the University provides an additional outlet for distributing learning materials and conveying information to students. The University is currently streaming 8 classes and plans to expand the technology into the new integrated learning center when it opens for the Spring 2002 semester. In addition to university classroom activities, the project is also archiving programs from the local PBS affiliate including a daily news program.
"The University of Arizona's commitment to a quality undergraduate experience, supported by the Virage platform, demonstrates the way that institutions can approach instruction by delivering information in a number of powerful new ways," said James Austin, Project Director for VALA and Director of the FCII. "Virage allows us to use online video to transform the learning experience from a one-time event into readily accessible, on-demand reference and review material. The knowledge imparted on campus can now be easily re-purposed, widely distributed, and quickly reviewed in a way that best meets the educational goals of faculty and students alike."
"The University of Arizona has recognized the important role that Virage technology can play in the educational process," said Carlos Montalvo, CMO at Virage. "The Virage platform provides a way for universities to offer broader access to class lessons. Virage-enabled online video is a very cost-effective way to significantly expand the reach and accessibility of valuable knowledge. We are excited to be able to help the University of Arizona create a powerful and efficient instruction tool that compliments the actual classroom experience."
