ShareStream and Instructure partner to leverage the ShareStream video
extension for instructional technology on the Canvas®
platform. ShareStream will showcase its new media solution for Canvas at
Instructure’s annual user conference, InstructureCon, June 14th
2012 in Park City, Utah.
ShareStream’s video solution for Canvas enables faculty, staff and
students to easily upload video, perform online video editing and submit
video assignments to instructors. Additionally, users can browse
instructional-media collections for the courses in which they are
enrolled, tag content with metadata and deliver rich media securely via
a robust and scalable video streaming server.
“ShareStream is very pleased to partner with Instructure to provide our
mutual customers with ShareStream’s video solution tightly integrated
with Canvas,” stated David Weinstein, ShareStream’s CEO.
The use of video and other forms of media, such as audio, images and
lecture capture files, has skyrocketed at educational institutions over
recent years, particularly for teaching and learning.
“We’re just starting to see the huge value for today’s classroom in
having seamlessly integrated video,” said Brian Whitmer, Co-Founder and
Vice-President of Product at Instructure Canvas. “Instructure’s
partnership with ShareStream will enhance the experience of both the
teacher and the student.”
The ShareStream Video
Platform—a turnkey system for the full lifecycle of media, complete
with digital rights management—is designed specifically to fulfill
rising demand from educational institutions for integrating media into
online courses and campus communications.
ShareStream’s video extension for Canvas allows universities, colleges
and K-12 schools to fulfill rising demand for video streaming services.
These services aid in instructional technology, distance learning,
library’s media reserves, student video assignments and more.
