Jim Jorstad of the Univ. of Wisconsin-La Crosse gave an interesting presentation titled “Thinking Outside the Box: Using Mediasite to Engage Faculty and Extend University Outreach“.  Not coincidentally, the presentation is delivered using Mediasite.  Jim also hosts an interesting blog called The Learning Space.

The PASSHE systemwide contract with Sonic Foundry for Mediasite means nearly two-thirds of our universities will be using Mediasite.  In addtion to extending the classroom to students off-campus, technology like Mediasite offers other departments on a campus a valuable tool for reaching out to alumni, media, donors, legislators, etc.
