Downloadable MP4 Video Enhances Online Education Programs from Leading Universities
University Alliance Online Introduces MP4 Download Availability for All Online Certificate Programs Offered Through Villanova, Tulane, Notre Dame and the University of San Francisco
TAMPA, Fla., March 3 -- With the advent of mobile learning technology and the rising demand for virtual m-learning classroom applications, the University Alliance Online, a global leader in interactive professional education, continues to be on the cutting edge of technology.
Now, students attending Villanova University, Tulane University, the University of Notre Dame and the University of San Francisco can take their online learning mobile thanks to the new MP4 course lecture downloads for all online certificate programs.
According to the "2010 Horizon Report" by the New Media Consortium (NMC), the mobile market is booming. Over a billion new phones are produced each year, and thousands of applications are available for virtually any smart phone - with more entering the market each day.
"Today, people expect anytime, anywhere access to data and services that used to be available only on a desktop," said Adrian Marrullier, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of University Alliance Online. "The portability of mobile devices and their ability to store and play MP3 and MP4 files makes them ideal tools for mobile learning."
Students currently utilizing the MP3 audio feature for Villanova's online certificate programs are touting the added benefits of the new downloadable MP4 video formats.
"I really enjoy the online learning experience and especially the new MP4 video download feature," said Dafe Ojaide, a business professional completing Villanova's Six Sigma online Master Certificate program. "I am always on the go so the ability to download my classes onto my iPod and Blackberry is perfect for my busy schedule."
The MP4 feature supports mobile learning by offering course lectures in video formats. Students in the programs can simply select the online certificate course files they want, download them to their computers, and transfer the files to their iPods, iPhones, Blackberries, Droids or other mobile devices.
The University Alliance's state-of-the-art e-learning system immerses students in a multimedia environment that allows them to study at their convenience. The advantages of 100% online and mobile learning include:
-- Virtual Classroom - Two-way voice over IP, instant messaging and
shared virtual whiteboards allow students to interact with fellow
classmates and faculty in real time. It's just like being in a real
classroom, but this one is live on the Internet.
-- Streaming Video Lectures - In addition to the MP3 and new MP4 media
download features, participants can watch and learn from industry
professionals as they deliver lectures and course material 100% online
via streaming video or on CD-ROM.
-- Message Boards - Students can interact with instructors and classmates
on key topics and class assignments.
-- Live Chat Rooms and Email - Being able to collaborate and communicate
with faculty and classmates makes online learning convenient.
