Analytics

Analytics are a great way to get to know your content, your audience and class trends. Maybe you need to find out if a class has engaged with a piece of coursework or if they are struggling during lectures, perhaps you want to find out if a marketing campaign has been a success. Mediasite analytics are there to provide you this information, both in an easy to use graphical form and in an Excel format, these real time stats are available right from My Mediasite and are available on demand. You can get some more information on analytics here: Sonic Foundry

Is your content accessible?

Accessibility is an important issue, not all users are the same. Some may find hearing difficult, some may be in an environment where audio is not an option etc. Historically subtitling and transcription was a time-consuming process, this has changed. Mediasite has direct integration with titling provider 3Play media. This allows users to submit content for transcription and closed captioning automatically from the Mediasite interface. Although it is a paid-for-service, the cost is minimal and ensures that you comply with current regulations. There is no need to title every piece of content you make but public-facing content as a starting point definitely needs to be accessible to all. 

To comply with new regulations coming into effect on September 2020 we are investigating the deeper integration of subtitling services within our platform. We will update this page with more information as it happens.
