The Video on Demand Project: A New Tool for Journalism Students and Faculty

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Fall 2003 Project Briefings / The Video on Demand Project: A New Tool for Journalism Students and Faculty

December 1, 2003

The migration from traditional paper-based analog technologies to the digital world has revolutionized journalism and journalism and communication education. Just as the practice of journalism and communication requires mastery of digital technology, teaching in the field requires the use of digital technology in every classroom and access to multimedia content. The digital age requires the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication (SOJC) to create new ways to capture, store, access and distribute media content.

The Video on Demand project uses Virage technology to create a searchable database of digital assets throughout the SOJC. Such a database enables faculty to bring more content into the classroom and create opportunities for students to access the material online for research and learning purposes.

This briefing and demonstration will explain how a team of individuals from the SOJC, the library, and information technology worked together to propose, obtain funding for, and implement the project to create an easily accessible database. Specifically, we will discuss the development of a searchable indexing system designed with instructors’ own processes in mind.
