On Tuesday, June 17th I had the privilege of
presenting “Learning in the Digital Dimension: Big Data and Video” at the
Kaltura Connect Video Experience Conference in New York City. Kaltura is an
extremely interesting company with both non- and for-profit arms that support video-based
solutions in higher education as well as in other settings. This conference was
jam-packed with innovation and the people who make innovation happen.
My presentation addressed two associated points. First, I
shared some examples from LRC100,
LearningAdvisor, and KU Open Learning that address post-traditional
learners, helping them “make sense” of career and academic choices, chart a
path, and execute that path. I believe that helping learners “self-orient”
regarding their career and academic paths, giving them the information that
answers their personal questions about both, and “personalizing” their path
forward is the missing link in the online and cloud-based environment today.
Second, I walked the group through three phases that a
company like Kaltura and a place like Kaplan might collaborate in the future. Phase
One is Enterprise Media Management that creates consistent guidelines and standard tags, etc. across the entity and enables a comprehensive
“search and retrieval mechanism.” Phase
Two might well address access to and production of video to create ease of use
and sharing of resources up to and including an integrated video infrastructure in
authoring and delivery systems. Phase Three, as I see it, would focus on distribution
and enhancements that would encourage personalized use for employees or students
with integrated learning, science-based services, and extended distribution
channels.
In short, it was an honor to be included in the Kaltura
Connect Video Experience Conference and I look forward to seeing what the
future holds for this pioneering company.
