Our teaching and learning strategy had to convert to fully online very quickly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Mediasite certainly helped with that transition. Being able to deploy Mediasite cost effectively through MCNC gave our College and faculty a simple way to record lectures from home.
On behalf of my entire campus, I want to thank the whole MCNC team for all of the work done in the past few months during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as projects going forward. Providing Zoom Pro licenses has helped our campus greatly during this pandemic. MCNC continues to be one of the best and most reliable partners the State has ever had.
We’re driven today by partnering with economic development leaders like MCNC to provide real-time education capabilities and job training to build and create jobs in North Carolina. New technology helps these students experience synchronous and asynchronous learning using leading-edge video tools and self-driven/user-driven applications such as Movi at a much lower cost.”
We have been extremely pleased with MCNC’s service and the cost savings it provides that we now have every one of our locations on an MCNC connection to their backbone, NCREN.
The service, support and guidance we receive from MCNC continue to be a vital part of our technology efforts. Our MCNC Internet service, firewall, and cloud-based content filter are all integral to our school’s success – and these ultimately allow us to have the tools that fulfill our chartered mission, providing a college prep education for our students. When we have technology issues, our staff can rely on the sound advice and problem-solving ability we always receive whenever we have to seek MCNC Client Network Engineering (CNE) support.

As more data comes in and out every day, we need high-speed connections to realize all these data sets. We have better download rates now and as others get more speeds soon, we will be ready as we continue to future-proof our infrastructure.”
MCNC is our key partner that helps us achieve our mission of using cyber infrastructure to enable research discoveries and practical problem solving.
