Live Webinar: How Riverside Community College Uses Webcasting to Heal the Healthcare Crisis
How Riverside Community College Uses Webcasting to Heal the Healthcare Crisis
Madison, Wisconsin(23 Mar 2010)
The nursing crisis in the United States continues to intensify, with a projected shortage of 500,000 nurses by 2025. Compounding the problem? Recent major global disasters, humanitarian aid, pandemics and aging baby boomers, and the fact that nursing colleges across the country are finding it impossible to cover both the demand for classroom space and the demand from industry.
Discover how Riverside Community College is using webcasting to bring more nurses into the classroom during a live webinar with Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the recognized market leader for rich media webcasting and knowledge management.
WHEN: Thursday, March 25 at 11 a.m. CDT
Several years ago the program added virtual classrooms and began using lecture capture to increase program enrollment without adding faculty. Unofficially dubbed the "PJs Program", the webcasted courses provide students the flexibility to continue their education without leaving work and ultimately prepare more nurses for advanced clinical practice than classroom instruction alone.
Join Stephen Ashby, the technical architect of Riverside's pioneering online nursing program, as he shares:
· How Riverside's use of Mediasite to automate lecture capture has helped the program thrive in spite of statewide budget cuts in education
· How faculty demand for teaching in the technology-enabled classrooms has outgrown supply
· His recommendations for how to replicate this program within your own college or university

Stephen Ashby has been the multimedia operations specialist at Riverside Community College's Instructional Media Center Digital Library for more than 10 years. In this role, he coordinates the district's videoconferencing, streaming media and instructional equipment.
