“Watching videos is a very passive learning activity. Having students engage with the video by having them ask questions and reflect changed the way students engage with that content.”

Located in a border community in Texas, El Paso Community College (EPCC) is a federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). For several years, institutional leadership had been looking for a tool to caption videos. “With the pandemic, the conversation (of securing a Video Platform) took on a whole new meaning,” said Luz Cadena, Director of Distance Learning Support Services and an adjunct history professor.
Once she learned about YuJa’s Video Platform, she said she knew it was a tool the institution desperately needed to support student learning and success. The Distance Learning Standing Committee met with a number of video hosting companies, then took part in a trial period to use the Video Platform.
EPCC was able to incorporate its need for a video management system with captioning abilities into a grant proposal, which it received. The institution adopted the YuJa Enterprise Video Platform in 2022.
