“We heard about YuJa from a colleague at another institution and realized it had the features that we needed — integration with Canvas, single sign-on, captioning, and video quizzing. It turned out to be a great product.”

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, officials at UC Riverside (UCR) quickly realized they needed a comprehensive video platform to usher in a new era in online learning. “Out of the pandemic, we realized we didn’t have a proper video platform,” explained Israel Fletes, Director of Academic Technology at UC Riverside’s Exploration Center for Innovative Teaching and Engagement (XCITE). “We had various limited tools to support online learning, but no unified campus wide platform.” YuJa was recommended to UCR by a sister University of California campus, UC Santa Cruz, as Fletes and the Continuity of Instruction workgroup explored various platforms.
While the pandemic was the driver in finding a robust video solution, Fletes said they looked beyond the crisis as they evaluated each solution. Ultimately, the team determined that YuJa’s Video Platform would best meet the institution’s needs. “We were able to consolidate several tools and replace others entirely with YuJa,” Fletes noted.
“From the moment that I reached out to someone to get a demo and start this process, the folks at YuJa have been responsive, and courteous, and helpful, and accommodating. It’s been a very pleasant experience.”
