Pasadena, CA (June 25, 2012) – INTELECOM Intelligent Telecommunications and Wolper Information Services today announced an agreement to enhance the distribution of INTELECOM’s academic video streaming database, the INTELECOM Online Resources Network®.

Customers including academic and research libraries and consortia will now have access to a reliable video streaming solution designed to meet the growing demand for curriculum-based video in support of both on- and off-campus instruction and research.

Features of the INTELECOM Online Resources Network® include:

 4,000+ closed-captioned video clips

Faculty and students at colleges and universities that subscribe to the INTELECOM Online Resources Network® service will have access to a rich selection of videos that they can easily find and embed directly into any CMS, PowerPoint presentations, blogs and more.

“Clearly, the content world is wider and deeper than text-based materials alone,” commented Susan Wolper, President and CEO of Wolper Information Services. “The boom in online learning is driving the demand for video content at academic institutions, and this partnership with INTELECOM allows us to answer that need with professionally-developed, syllabus-based video that’s affordably and flexibly priced.”

“Aligning with Wolper makes perfect sense – because we both serve the academic market and we both strive to deliver high-quality content and user-friendly technology,” said Cameron Cox, Vice President of Marketing at INTELECOM. “This is a good solution for the market.”
