Our vision is to enable the University to meet the full breadth of learning and teaching, assessment, research and engagement activities, by providing usable tools for making, editing, storing, sharing and disseminating video and audio files.<\/p>\n<p>The new media asset management system will be delivered using the Kaltura video platform. Kaltura is a market leader in this space and the University has made a significant long-term investment in order to deliver our learning and teaching vision, and our strategies around distance education and research engagement. We will provide a central service to support the efficient use and management of media assets from all across the university. All staff and students will have access to the service.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read more about the vision for the service at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projects.ed.ac.uk\/project\/mft001\/page-0\">https:\/\/www.projects.ed.ac.uk\/project\/mft001\/page-0<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Read more about Kaltura at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kaltura.com\">http:\/\/www.kaltura.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Receive project updates by subscribing to: <a href=\"https:\/\/mlist.is.ed.ac.uk\/lists\/info\/is-media-info\">is-media-info@mlist.is.ed.ac.uk<\/a><br \/>\n(Info on subscribing to a mailing list: <a href=\"http:\/\/edin.ac\/1Kw3Vsd\">http:\/\/edin.ac\/1Kw3Vsd<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h2>Supporting new uses of media<\/h2>\n<p>The new service will support a wide range of activities, and we will be developing a suite of training and awareness opportunities over the next 3 months to promote these.
