About Manchester University

Manchester University offers more than 70 areas of undergraduate study, three master’s programs (accountancy, athletic training, and pharmacogenomics), a professional doctorate in pharmacy, and a dual degree in pharmacy and pharmacogenomics to about 1,400 students from 26 states and 19 countries. The independent, liberal arts school is located in North Manchester, Ind., where 73 percent of the students live on the 120-acre campus. Our four-year Doctor of Pharmacy program, as well as the athletic training and pharmacogenomics master’s programs, are on a Fort Wayne, Ind., campus.

Back in December of 2019, Director of STEAM, Adam Elwer, needed a solution that enable instructors to record classes on-the-fly and publish accessible content for later viewing. As students would often miss classes due to extracurricular activities, attending college campus tours, or illnesses, Elwer and his staff sought a robust lecture capture platform that enabled asynchronous learning.

About State Fair Community College

State Fair Community College is a public community college in Sedalia, Missouri, adjacent to the Missouri State Fairgrounds. In addition to the Sedalia campus, there are extended campus locations in Boonville, Lake of the Ozarks, Clinton, Warsaw, and Whiteman AFB. The school enrolled 4,284 students in 2019. The college offers a high quality, affordable education to almost 5,000 traditional college-age students and adult learners and is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

This summer, integrated video platform YuJa has gained popularity.

The campus began using YuJa in June after searching for a single platform that could cover all instructional needs, said Israel Fletes, director of academic technology. About 5,000 students are making use of the program for their summer courses, Fletes said. He expects that to jump to as many as 25,000 students in the fall quarter.

“I get the impression it’s the platform of choice because at all my faculty meetings — department meetings, individual meetings — there’s a mention and discussion of YuJa more than any of the other tools,” Fletes said.

Zoom, Google Drive, Vimeo, and YouTube are some of the video repositories that have been used by instructors during the pandemic. But none of them offer the full range of options that YuJa does, he said.

“YuJa is a very robust video ecosystem,” he said. “Aside from video streaming, it contains many different features and tools.”

It offers video storage, recording, conferencing, and livestreaming, all of which are integrated within the campus Learning Management System. That means the content is protected behind the UCR Central Authentication Server, or CAS.

Fletes said that integration allows instructors to link video content with course materials in a number of ways. Lectures are recorded and stored, so they can be easily accessed by students searching for a particular lesson. Instructors can break up a lecture into segments that are paused while students are quizzed on the lesson. It keeps students engaged and allows instructors to gauge how much their students are learning, Fletes said.

The platform also includes a video proctoring feature where students can self-record while taking an exam, and instructors can review all student activity as they take the exam, Fletes said.

YuJa provides unlimited video storage and auto-captioning for its videos, as well as 24/7 technical support for students and faculty members who need help.

UCR, UC Irvine, and UC Santa Cruz are part of a group within the system working together to share notes and best practices regarding YuJa.

The campus has long needed the video and multimedia tools offered by a platform like YuJa, but the pandemic only increased the urgency, Fletes said. Even after the campus returns to normal, he expects its use will grow as more resources are made available to students digitally.

Prior to the deployment of the YuJa Enterprise Video Platform, Clarkson College implemented various ad-hoc solutions to create content. The Video Platform provides the Clarkson College faculty and staff with a Canvas-integrated video management, campus-wide lecture capture platform, and captioning capabilities. Instructors are also provided on-the-fly recording capabilities as well as a built-in video editor that does not require the use of third-party applications.

“YuJa aims to deliver high-quality video experiences with our all-in-one integrated Video Platform,” said Dr. Ajit Singh, Chief Executive Officer at YuJa Inc. “We are committed to providing higher-education institutions like Clarkson College with the essential lecture capture capabilities needed to support a remote learning environment during these unexpected times.”

All the while, we have maintained a commitment to preparing our students to be the best in various realms of health care.
