Faculte Studio is the first end-to-end solution for creating and managing interactive online learning videos and channels. Faculte Studio makes teaching and learning online easy, engaging, and collaborative, and enables the creation of video-based online learning communities.
CraftEdu wanted to find a way for its affiliate experts to teach arts and crafts online that was affordable, easy to use, engaging, collaborative, and not limited by time or geography. CraftEdu chose the Faculte learning community because it was easy for their art and craft experts to use and for the content managers to administer. Faculte’s services team rapidly implemented CraftEdu’s site, embedding the learning video channels in it, and integrating social networking services to create a profitable interactive learning community.
“There is nothing like CraftEdu in the craft or art community or anywhere else,” said Donna Kato, co-founder, CraftEdu. “We are pioneers in online education, building a robust learning community. Faculte made it possible for us to deliver on our dream of teaching globally from our living rooms, not limited by walls or time zones.”
By using Faculte Studio, corporate learning professionals, continuing education providers, and training services are able to leverage rich-media and online video to allow subject domain experts to better engage their students without the hassle and cost of high-end video production and distribution, creating video-based interactive learning communities. Learning communities can be public or private, and, like CraftEdu, teachers can monetize their learning videos using the Faculte Studio’s integrated commerce and payment services.
“Online video is rapidly growing as a means to communicate information. The challenge is to make it easy for anyone to create an effective and engaging online learning video and distribute it,” said Maher Hakim, CEO and founder, Faculte. “Experts, students, and online learning content managers all benefit from Faculte’s easy-to-use platform. Creating engaging online learning videos has never been so easy and cost effective”
