Produce & Broadcast Video based training through Ultra MashupStudio

Watch a video in MashupStudio and see how the studio adds value to your existing content. The studio provides features such as overlayed content (e.g. Text, Graphics, Quizzes, PowerPoint Slides) and final Quiz Assessment. Chapters in the video are searchable and you can jump to a chapter easily. You can watch the video in 3 different modes (which can be selected from the top right corner of the player) or you can enjoy the video in full screen by clicking on the full screen icon (on the bottom right corner of the player)

Note: You need Silverlight to view this player which can be downloaded from here

Using videos effectively for enterprise knowledge requirements

Video is quickly becoming a ubiquitous means of rapid and highly effective communication and knowledge delivery. Enterprises stand to gain considerably from video-based knowledge sharing, as it enables on-demand learning, saves training costs and time, and can be used for knowledge retention and corporate communication. Despite its great promise, using videos for learning presents some challenges as compared to other eLearning mediums.

In this blog we will talk about UltraLearn.com, a technology that addresses these challenges for enterprises to adopt video as a ubiquitous and effective means of knowledge sharing. This is a hands-on session which will cover:

1. Rapid conversion of raw videos to interactive learning content without needing any complex tools

2. Using supporting multimedia from internet sources to enhance and rejuvenate videos to make them more engaging

3. Making interactive video learning content easily searchable allowing search within videos

4. Delivering interactive learning content to a selected learner audience

5. Using (playing back) interactive learning content and recording responses and comments

6. Evaluating content effectiveness and learner progress based on viewer behavior, responses and comments

We will discuss ...

1. Considerations for using a low-infrastructure-cost SaaS model vs. high-cusomizability Enterprise-hosted model

2. Video production options

3. Maximizing ROI from an interactive video learning solution

4. Using videos for corporate communication
