Moodle and MediaMill index back to index

MediaMill is a file storage area which can be used to archive and distribute video and audio content (offered and supported by CLA-OIT).

Users can decide to use MediaMill with Moodle if they need to:

  • store full-resolution video projects without any quality loss
  • create compressed copies of videos to share with the world, so students do not need to struggle with downloading large files anymore
  • reduce the overall size of their Moodle sites to increase performance
  • caption a video
  • convert from one file type to another

Check out all the features available or read MediaMill blog.
