DELIVERY PLATFORM
Discover Video DEVOS 4 for K-12 and Higher Education is an enterprise and Internet delivery platform that allows schools to use the full power of multimedia within their curriculum. DEVOS is an on-premises or cloud-based video streaming and media management system. With Streamsie software encoders (Mac, PC, or IOS), it allows teachers to develop creative multimedia instructional material that students can view on computers, mobile devices, or TVs (flipping the classroom).
In each lesson, teachers can create questions and embed them into the video. As students watch the video, they must answer the questions correctly to move on and finish the lesson. The same DEVOS system can be used for many other applications in schools such video morning announcements, cable TV distribution to classrooms, webcasting major events such as graduations, concerts, and plays, digital video signage, recording and distributing board of education meetings, and emergency alert notifications. It is a secure system and can be used with the schools’ active directory for teacher and student sign-on.
