Hong Kong Metropolitan University Invests In EditShare
EditShare® has announced that Hong Kong Metropolitan University has
expanded its investment in EditShare, installing FLOW media management
and EFS shared storage as the core content platform for its Nursing
Simulation program.
EditShare’s integration with the program’s
SimCapture, which is used to record and assess student performance,
provides a centralized repository and archive that educators can easily
access, share learning outcomes and proof of performance. The innovative
workflow was designed and deployed by EditShare Channel Partner
Viewcon.
“Video is one of the core components of our
high-quality training and education. It helps us track trends, improve
learning and document methods and time spent on practical training,”
said Wilson Yau, AV Technology Manager (ALTO), Hong Kong Metropolitan
University.
Prior to the installation of EditShare, Hong Kong
Metropolitan University stored the files on standard storage, using
Windows Explorer to search and locate videos. Yau continued: “For audits
and official records, our university keeps its videos for seven years
which equate to hundreds of thousands of video files. EditShare worked
well in our AV Production Studio and we knew it would automate many of
the manual processes that come with storing and sharing video at this
scale.”
The innovative workflow features EFS tiered storage with
integrated production, nearline and archive capabilities. FLOW serves
as the control layer, automatically migrating video content, including
simulation records, from the SimCapture to EFS. Metadata is
automatically added to the video and includes key information such as
teacher, student, session and other notes. Staff can log into the
web-based FLOW dashboard, search videos on a number of angles, add
further notes, share, and playback practical sessions.
