Viddler

Closetista is an online fashion sales network broadcasting exciting videos from live designer interviews to focused trend reports. Closetista is on the cutting edge of all things fashion and has found the perfect outlet in online video to share their passion with the world. Online video has given them the ability to really showcase all the unique dimensions of their content and show the audience the talented people behind all the latest trends. We recently traveled to NYC and spent the day with the amazingly talented Closetista team to shoot our next Viddler Customer Spotlight.

McGraw-Hill recently released a case study involving their Connect program that uses digital course management tools in the classroom to improve the learning experience for it’s students. McGraw-Hill has found that the use of digital course management tools directly benefits students and instructors effectiveness.

Some powerful statistics:

• Students using Connect show an average grade increase of more than five points, often equal to half a letter grade
• In classes where instructors use Connect, student retention rates increased by an average of nearly 23 percent; and
• Connect’s automatic grading and instant feedback functionalities allow instructors to drastically reduce administrative time – in some cases by nearly 90 percent – leaving more time to prepare and refine lessons, spend one-on-one time with students, and, ultimately, cover more key concepts and critical material in class.

As anyone who works on software knows – maintaining seldom-used features is a distraction from the features that matter most. Our team would never want the Viddler platform to suffer because we’re not willing get rid of the parts that aren’t used even if we worked really hard on them.

For this reason we’ve gone back to the drawing board, reviewed our usage statistics in detail, and have worked hard over the last few months to rethink, rebuild, and redesign the most important parts of Viddler. We’re really excited to share with you exactly what is in, what is out, and what is new – but we’re still a month or so away from launching the next version of Viddler.

To show you how excited we are we’ve created a short video explaining some of our thinking behind the next version of Viddler. Over the next month we’ll be explaining some of our decisions right here on the blog and how all of our customers can prepare for the changes ahead.
