Upcoming Streaming Video Changes

We are currently in the process of deploying a new video solution, VBrick Rev.  This solution will replace our existing streaming video solution, which is currently located in Madison.  Starting in October, we will be contacting individual users to start migrating content to the new platform.  Some of the key features of this new solution:

  • Self Service Videos.  As an instructor, you will be able to upload videos directly to the system.  The system will then automatically convert the videos into the correct streaming formats for the best viewing experience by your students.
  • Support for Student Videos.  Students in your courses will be able to upload pre-recorded videos for easy viewing by other classmates.  Webcam recording is not included in this solution.
  • Restricted Videos.  This system will allow you to restrict videos only to students enrolled in your course.  Students will need to authenticate with their Net-ID in order to view the videos.
  • Video Portal.  Instructors will be able to login to a portal and at a quick glance see all of the videos produced and associated with your account.

We do understand that some of our users have a large video collection.  We will be working with you to make this migration as seamless and painless as possible.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Learning Technology Center.
