Case Study: University of Central Florida achieves campus-wide class-capture scalability and 50% cost reduction with Tegrity

Creating the most advanced class-capture and delivery systems for engineering in higher education

The University of Central Florida’s College of Engineering and Computer Science, a 25-year leader in distance learning, needed to massively expand online offerings but was constrained by costly multimedia classrooms, a video control room bottleneck, and expensive encoding hardware and staff. Their goal was to scale class capture across the college using inexpensive devices, minimize computing demands, automate processing, and cut production costs.

UCF adopted Tegrity Campus 2.0, which enabled faculty to record from any classroom, office, or home using standard laptops and webcams, automating capture, indexing and distribution with minimal training. The rollout quickly scaled to roughly 300 online courses and ~2,500 student users, achieved about 70% faculty participation, improved student learning and review (74–85% positive feedback), and cut maintenance/training costs by about 50%, while enabling low‑cost, unlimited campus recording.
