Many e-learning and distance education programs are challenged to scale. I see how these two systems complement each other, and I’m excited we’ll now be able to manage the content in one centrally located repository,” said Kate Conners,Īccording to Alan Greenberg, Senior Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research, “This type of integration partnership is good for the lecture capture industry – but even more important – for Sonic Foundry and TechSmith customers and higher education in general. “We just purchased the Mediasite webcasting platform for lecture capture, and I’ve been an avid user of Camtasia Relay. Specifically, it allows faculty who create course content with Camtasia Relay to automatically upload their recordings to Mediasite’s centrally managed, scalable and secure knowledge library.

This announcement is the culmination of both Sonic Foundry and TechSmith customer requests to more tightly integrate the two best-of-breed lecture capture solutions.
