5/3/2020: Update – Academica is a service no longer offered by Merit.
Merit is pleased to announce that the Cloud Media service, powered by NJVid, now integrates with Academica ESP! Users can embed videos and other media from their Merit Cloud Media repositories to share with their streams in Academica. Possible uses in Academica include:
- Keep the conversations going in streams by posting your recorded webinar.
- Share a recorded virtual meeting with those who missed the session.
- Solicit comments on infographics from staff, students, and faculty.
- Perform a quick poll to get feedback on an image or video.
- Collaborate on PDFs or other media with your teams directly in your Academica instance!
Academica powers the new Merit Commons, and Merit Members can check out the new video integration with Cloud Media inside the Merit Commons.
Cloud Media is a state-of-the-art digital media repository service for streaming and preservation of academic and research media for higher education. Cloud Media provides Members the ability to upload and stream media in a variety of formats, including video and PDFs.
Developed by Wayne State University, Academica ESP is an enterprise social portal that enhances and fosters collaboration beyond traditional portal features. A single sign-on communication solution for higher education, created by higher education.
This tool brings your campus together via two-way, real-time collaboration, an essential function for any 21st century portal. Academica ESP’s message streams function like Facebook or Twitter, allowing open conversation between students, faculty and staff. Organic and dynamic message stream creation unleashes the full potential of campus communication.
