Re: [Videolib] I need feedback on online video platforms for higher ed - American U is looking at alternatives to our homegrown system

Hi,
We are looking at the new iTunes U, which is tied to iPads. As a
Mac-oriented school, that makes sense for us. If you have the usual mix of
everything, that's probably not going to work. Take a look at Softchalk. I
have heard some good things about it.

 to know about it for comparison shopping.  Also a word or two about
 your experience would be valuable.

 We already use Panopto for lecture capture so aren't looking for that
 kind of system. Rather our focus is more on licensed collections,
 student productions, live events such as graduations and visiting
 speakers, and archived university-produced video.

 Many thanks.

 VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
 issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic
 control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in
 libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as
 an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
 communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video
 producers and distributors.
