Amplify your teaching
Learning is personal – and so is video. With the MediaCore Capturer app for iOS, teachers can quickly record and upload content – whether it’s a section from a lesson, or a video demonstration. Unlike a PowerPoint or Word document, video retains what’s great about great teaching.
Set your video resources free
Learning can’t happen when a video is sitting on a hard drive. Release the potential of your video resources by uploading them to MediaCore, where students and colleagues can explore and access them instantly, on any device – from an interactive whiteboard to a smartphone.
