Seamless Plugin into your Moodle

 

Give your lecturers the ability to upload video and create video assignments for use in the Grade Book.

 

Take the load off of your Moodle Server by allowing Helix Media Library to do the work of converting and delivering video, at the same time as providing a tool that lecturers and students can use without leaving Moodle

 

It's what's been missing from your Moodle! 

"YouTube" like portal secured for Enterprise use

 

User generated video content web sites are great at spreading the word but most users want to protect their content and only show it to the people that matter.

 

Helix Media Library gives you everything you need to create your own "YouTube" like experience and decide between what needs to be secured using Active Directory or LDAP, and what you'd like to promote to the world

Lecture Capture Integration with Camtasia Relay

 

Unleash the power of your lectures with Camtasia Relay, an easy-to-use "big red button" approach to lecture capture.

 

Capture and publish directly into Helix Media Library for use in Blackboard and Moodle
