Tegrity’s Free Lecture Capture Service Takes Off at EDUCAUSE

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tegrity is reaping the rewards of the ever-increasing awareness surrounding Lecture Capture. Over the past 12 months, students have reviewed class material recorded through Tegrity more than 10 million times; and the company saw a 62% increase in the number of student reviews between the Spring and Fall semesters of 2009.

Furthermore, at EDUCAUSE 2009, more than 230 new customers signed up for Tegrity Lite, a free, yet fully-featured version of the award-winning Tegrity Campus solution – the only cloud-based Lecture Capture service that scales affordably in order to reach every class, and every student on campus, resulting in greater student achievement and retention for institutions.

The excitement surrounding Lecture Capture is evidenced by Gartner, the world's leading information technology research and advisory company, moving Lecture Capture and Retrieval Tools to the top of their Hype Cycle for Education, and recognizing Tegrity as one of the leading vendors in the space.

Research done by Tegrity customers clearly validates this level of excitement. A recent University of Alabama study of more than 750 students showed that 62% felt Tegrity improved their grades. Another independent survey of three institutions using Tegrity, conducted by IMS Research, found that 95% of students indicated Tegrity positively impacted learning, and 97% of instructors felt Tegrity increased their teaching effectiveness.

As a Cloud-based solution, Tegrity Campus does not require institutions to purchase or maintain any software or servers. Furthermore, Tegrity AAIRS™ integration technology completely automates the lecture capture and retrieval process – without burdening instructors or IT. These technologies combine to make Tegrity the only Lecture Capture solution that affordably and practically scales campus-wide, thereby maximizing benefits to the institution.
