MediaINFO for Higher Education

Open your collection up to the widest audience

Universities and other educational organisations have built up intranets and websites to serve their students with timely information. One of the areas that has not however been touched by this change is the distribution of notes, research materials and other books in a consistent manner. These are still laboriously published every year, at great expense that either burdens the students and the university both financially and administratively.

The process is very wasteful as many more books than are actually required are printed, and the end product is often poorly bound and disintegrates. Worst of all updates to these materials are beholden to the annual or bi-annual publishing cycles, and errata and updates are difficult to incorporate. At a time of reduced or stagnant budgets in most universities, we help our customers cut these burdensome costs by making all these printed materials available digitally through any web browser in a way that is intuitive and fast for all users. Our customers include universities and educational institutions of any shape and size. Whether you have already digitised your content but you want an engaging way to present it, or your content is already digital, MediaINFO is the best way to achieve it.

MediaINFO is a great way to bypass the unnecessary licensing of expensive products such as Microsoft Office on computers that normally are simply viewing this material. With MediaINFO your institution can publish any materials whether scanned in or produced in word processing and office productivity software that only need any standard browser (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, Chrome etc.. On any internet speed. Additionally MediaINFO enhances the search experience by displaying hits directly on the original material, just as the author intended the page to be seen. MediaINFO also helps popularise your content through a Social web component including annotations, comments, sharing, and translation.
