Mediasite Administrators Update, March 2014(Archive)

As part of an ongoing effort to keep Mediasite Administrators on campus informed, we created this DELTAwire article specifically for you!  For help with any Mediasite questions, please contact us at mediasite-help@ncsu.edu.

This article includes information on the following topics:

Mediasite Version 7 Upgrade

After an initial review, DELTA has concluded that upgrading to version 7 during the summer of 2014 is feasible. We will form an implementation team to evaluate, plan and discuss action items and create a timeline for the upgrade. We will continue to keep everyone informed of planning strategies, timelines and action items.

Mediasite Server Maintenance

The monthly Windows Updates for the Mediaiste servers will be installed on Saturday, Mar. 15, 2014, between 5:00 – 6:00 a.m. The servers will be rebooted one at a time, but no outage is expected due to the redundant nature of the system. .

My Mediasite Pilot Progress

The My Mediasite desktop recorder pilot is underway, with 74 active participants. Several of the involved faculty members have recorded course content already in use by students this semester. In the first month, 216 presentations were recorded, and these have received more than 4,000 views, across 490 unique users from 601 unique IP addresses. Thus far, most faculty members have said the software works well and is not challenging to learn. An enterprise level service is expected to be available in summer 2014.

Don’t forget to enroll in the My Mediasite Pilot Community Moodle course for updates and other important information.
