ePresence Featured in InsideOCULA
It’s always great to see people using and talking about ePresence. Most recently, InsideOCULA – the official publication of the Ontario College and University Library association – featured two articles describing how ePresence is being used for educational content delivery and distance courses at Seneca College and the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto:

“Feedback from the faculty was positive – streaming the video in-house was reliable and fast.

This past May, ePresence was also highlighted in the Technology section of the Texas Bar Journal in a list of leading and innovative open source solutions:
