While getting everyone — academic leadership, faculty, staff and students — on the same page for any IT initiative can be a daunting task, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) has cracked the code for a successful campus-wide lecture capture initiative. In just a few years, this large research university, which is the University of Maryland’s public academic health, human services, and law center, is now mediasiting lectures and other educational content in their professional and graduate schools: Law, Nursing, Pharmacy, Social Work, and the first Dental School in the world. Join Dr. Peter J. Murray, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at UMB, as he reveals his secret formula for modeling the infrastructure, licensing and distributed ownership of their unprecedented enterprise deployment of Mediasite.
Discussion will include:
— UMB’s step-by-step process for deciding to standardize on Mediasite
for lecture capture, including their criteria for an enterprise
agreement, techniques for building consensus among many groups and
what Murray considers the number one ingredient for success
— the benefits of the Mediasite Enterprise Agreement
— an overview of UMB’s Mediasite enterprise architecture, including the
roles and responsibilities within each school and the central IT
office
— proven tactics for overcoming obstacles to campus-wide implementation

biggest surprise Murray experienced along the way
