Media Services in the Cloud

Today, in the education sector, we are seeing increasing use of Cloud Services to deliver institutional services in innovative ways such as delivery of multimedia content. What value are such developments seeking to provide? And how can the benefits be measured in order to ensure that, at a time of reductions in funding, investment in such developments is worthwhile?

Sarah Sherman, the Bloomsbury Media Cloud's project manager has been invited to present and answer these questions at a UKOLN workshop on 7th December at Birkbeck. "Institutional and Social Web Services: Evidence for Their Value" is a one-day event based around "Evidence, Impact, Metrics". The workshop will aim to explore ways in which evidence can be collated in order to demonstrate the impact of online services and the metrics which can be used to support such evidence.
