Case Western Reserve University Selects Virage's Core Technology to Power its MediaVision Application
Virage supports instructional technology to enhance teaching and learning at the University
San Francisco, California, November 23, 2005 - Virage, a wholly owned division of Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L) and a visionary in Rich Media technology, today announced that Case Western Reserve University has selected Virage software to power their MediaVision Courseware application. Besides providing traditional audio-visual services, MediaVision creates an innovative learning environment, offering advanced new technologies, such as videoconferencing, streaming media and an interactive digital television system. Virage's ability to process text, voice and video allows Case to efficiently manage a full range of multimedia assets. By using Virage core technology, MediaVision is able to provide cutting-edge information technology services, improving the quality of education for the entire campus.
One of the current projects where Virage has successfully been implemented is the University's Courseware project, which creates an integrated learning environment on the Web and is available online for all MediaVision-supported courses. Through the website, students and faculty have 24 hour access to a single, web-based repository for all course materials including interactive calendars, on-line study sessions and announcements. Virage's VS Archive enhances retrieval capabilities for lecture courses which are videotaped, digitized and broken down into several clips based on topic, giving users the option of watching a specific portion of the lecture or the entire video. The solution also automates the processing and categorizing of the original footage, removing the once highly manual and time consuming cataloging process. Additionally, the technology's advanced voice recognition capabilities allow users to use natural language queries in order to locate the clip containing the relevant subject efficiently. Since Virage forms a conceptual understanding of the query, it can find the precise information sought and deliver targeted results. Case is currently using Virage to streamline the indexing process for all rich media, enhancing university resources and student education.
Besides creating a positive learning environment for students, especially incoming freshman transitioning into a university setting, MediaVision has helped increase the average student grade in classes utilizing the technology. Students are now able to review particularly difficult or confusing parts of the lecture which they did not fully grasp during class. In addition, students who speak English as a second language can utilize Virage speech-to-text function to follow a speaker's words visually, helping them stay on par with native English speakers. The technology is helping combat typical classroom problems such as distractions during class, limited attention spans, keeping up with the instructor and attendance issues for student athletes. Case is also working on developing a closed-captioned system based on this technology so that hearing impaired users can benefit from the software. As a result of the MediaVision's success and popularity, students can make the most of their educational opportunities.
Mike Kubit, Asst. Director of Instructional Technology & Academic Computing at Case said, "Virage is a very powerful tool which supports the University's mission of integrating traditional course management system tools with its commitment to student success. The evaluations of both learning outcomes and student satisfaction have been consistently positive and deemed valuable by students and faculty alike. By using Virage, Case is able to digitize and index its vast collections of media content quickly and efficiently, providing users with increased educational quality."
"We are proud to assist institutions of higher learning in leveraging their rich media assets so that they can continue to provide excellent schooling," commented Rowan Gardner, Virage. "With powerful streaming media solutions from Virage, universities are now able to offer a richer educational experience and give students and faculty unprecedented access to the very best the school has to offer."
