The Mediasite video platform, used to store and distribute academic videos, has experienced continuous growth since its inception in 2010. The system contains over 14,000 hours of content created by faculty and staff, that have been viewed over 1.3 million times, including 3,000 hours of new video created and over 430,000 views in just the last year.

Mediasite video is created in lecture capture classrooms, with free desktop recorder software, and by simple video upload. This flexibility gives instructors the ability to create and use video in a way that fits both their teaching style and their learner's needs. The use of eRaider authentication allows instructors to control who views their video, while ensuring that students are not exposed to advertising or tracking by outside parties. eRaider integration also facilitates easy use with Blackboard, and provides powerful analytics to help content creators understand how their video is being used.

Faculty and staff at Texas Tech working with video are encouraged to contact mediasite@ttu.edu for more information about Mediasite, or contact IT Help Central at (806) 742-4357 (HELP) or ithelpcentral@ttu.edu.
