The University of Alberta recently contracted YuJa, Inc. to provide video capture and streaming services to enhance its current digital learning environment for instructors and students.

The university stated in its Request for Proposal that the selected platform would serve two purposes, including to better utilize video as a synchronous, asynchronous and hybrid learning tool, as well as to capture and deliver streaming of large meetings and events like convocation.

“In addition to meeting the needs of online students, a video platform will also be used to help promote equity and inclusion for our international students and students with learning challenges,” the RFP says. “This tool is a critical part of a strategy to encourage and support larger teaching and learning strategies at the University of Alberta.”

With the YuJa Enterprise Video Platform, the institution can meet its goals of easily recording, accessing and editing videos anywhere, on any device, managing and storing content, engaging students, and using analytics to understand learning needs and to elevate teaching. YuJa also integrates with the University’s LMS, Moodle, and with Zoom.

“YuJa is proud to be contracted by the University of Alberta to help engage students in learning, while also giving instructors and the university the tools they need for sustainable scaling as their learning environment changes,” said Nathan Arora, Chief Business Officer at YuJa, Inc.
