Use of Video
Video is central to USC’s support of remote students. All live lectures are posted online
for archived viewing within 15 minutes of the completion of a class. The large number
of classes offered means that USC Viterbi School of Engineering generates over 2TB of
video data every semester.

USC DEN has recently purchased Cisco TelePresence (Tandberg) MCU and
infrastructure. This will allow the faculty to provide full HD video teleconferencing and
will integrate with Cisco Webex for hybrid sessions. This allows the university to have
remote experts present to students in an environment that closely mimics face-to-face
presentations.

One of the most innovative uses of video at USC is the use of overhead cameras to
capture the pen and paper transcriptions preferred by some instructors. Using this
view, students are able to see instructor’s notes and diagrams.
