Your 5 Best Tips for No-Fail Production

Higher ed technology vendors, too, are trying to keep content relevant. The digital media services provider Cdigix, for one, recently repositioned and formed a partnership with class capture provider Tegrity. Via this partnership, institutions can provide seamless access to recorded classes and lectures, as well as other digital media assets licensed by the institution, all integrated into their teaching and learning environments. And Neulio, a provider of user-generated content to online learning, offers a new wrinkle: Quiz Builder, a proprietary technology through which educators behind online courses can create engaging web-based assessments that support four different question formats.
George Colombo, Neulio's founder and president, says components like Quiz Builder and the company's new video platform are important to the success of any online course, largely because fun and innovative technologies are the lingo of students today.
"What we're trying to do is offer different types of toolsets that can be used effectively in a variety of places," he says. "Getting students to sign up for online courses is easy; keeping them interested- and actually teaching them something while they're there-is a more formidable challenge, overall."
