[Athen] Digital asset management systems

[Makoto Tsuchitani]

Regarding Kaltura, I would suggest you do diligence and speak with schools that use/have used their system. To be frank, customer service was an area in which we found them lacking — having used their product for ~2 years. 

I am happy to share further details of our experience off the list for any who are interested.

Regards,

Makoto

Everything, including their players, is built on HTML5 (no Silverlight, no Flash); they encourage captioning as part of their wider searchability marketing; and everything I've seen so far is keyboard-accessible. They say they will have a good Descriptive Audio solution in place in the near future (next 90 days, I believe). I haven't gotten to play in a demo space yet, but what I've seen and read so far seem very promising.
