"The time from end of capture to full audience sampling is about five minutes. Before a student can leave class and walk to a computer, we've simultaneously webcast it, podcast it, and cast [the contents] to Blackboard."

"Since (the EchoSystem) can be scheduled, captured and managed centrally, we can literally create a vast library of online learning assets and pursue new publishing opportunities without adding staff or making significant technology investments."

"We selected the EchoSystem because it leveraged our existing video on demand distribution technologies, including Real Helix server, and generated podcast-ready versions of lectures for review on portable MP3 devices."

"We type in notes, but even then you still can't type as fast as a professor can talk, so you miss some things. And if you get notes from someone else, they're just not as good as watching the professor."
"Our students using podcasting [for review] demonstrate an average of 6.5% increase performance on the comprehensive finals . . . and that 6.5% makes a considerable difference . . . you want them to do that if they are taking care of you in a hospital."

The impact of our degree on demand program has been wildly successful and
beneficial to wide array of students.Ó Tracy Chapman, executive director
for eLearning and technology at Creighton University.
"I've had really positive feedback from students about iLectures, in fact there is really what I would call a demand and you simply can't not use the iLecture System these days at UWA"
