Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted global leader
for video creation and management solutions, today congratulates
The University of Leeds , one of its most strategic customers, on
being named ‘University of the Year 2017’ by The Times and Sunday
Times’ Good University Guide.
The British university guide ranks universities based on 11
performance criteria, evaluating everything from entry standards to
the student experience and graduate employment prospects. The
University of Leeds is recognized for outstanding teaching quality,
student experience, quality research and graduate prospects.
The University of Leeds launched the world’s largest end-to-end
automated and integrated lecture capture installation in the fall
of 2014 when it successfully deployed more than 250 rooms at once.
Since then, faculty have used Mediasite to create more than 72,000
academic video recordings that receive over 1 million views each
year. The initiative catapulted the University of Leeds into a
digital campus and had immediate and sustained positive impact on
teaching and learning.
In a press release, Alastair McCall, editor of the The Sunday
Times Good University Guide, wrote, “The University of Leeds
thoroughly deserves our University of the Year for prioritizing
students' needs first to last.” He continued, “Outstanding student
satisfaction levels do not happen by accident and reflect the
emphasis placed here on getting the student learning experience
spot on.”
“The University of Leeds is an outstanding example of how the
right academic video strategy can have a strong impact on student
performance. Its sophisticated online learning program provides a
personalized approach to learning to its students who expect
technology-savvy classrooms,” said Gary Weis, Sonic Foundry CEO.
“It’s an honor to work with such a distinguished university, and it
is no surprise to us that it is University of the Year.
Congratulations to Leeds on a well-deserved recognition.”
