Faculty Feedback “Overall, I think Mediasite was WONDERFUL!... I can’t even begin to tell you how much better these recordings appear and sound! The old VHS ones often seemed distorted, so the Mediasite ones were such a nice improvement!... Students have been watching them…I can tell because their self-evaluations of their speeches are much more detailed and accurate. I would strongly recommend that we either continue with the pilot study or try to put this into standard practice.” -Hollie Petit SPCM 200
Faculty Feedback “I think it is great that CTSS is doing this and I hope I will get a chance to do this at least one more time to fix my bugs. I have added a lot to this course and some of it has ample room for improvement.” -Wim Bohm CS 575
