Looking for a FERPA-compliant video recording system that integrates with Canvas, scales across departments, and actually works for faculty? IVS provides secure, intuitive A/V solutions for instructional technology leaders in higher education.

Modern learning environments require more than just recording tools; they demand systems that are secure, scalable, interoperable, and easy for faculty to use.

From simulation labs to skills assessments, inconsistent A/V technology causes more than frustration—it puts outcomes, accreditation, and compliance at risk.

At Intelligent Video Solutions (IVS), we help instructional technology leaders solve these challenges with custom audio/video (A/V) recording platforms designed to integrate seamlessly into your tech ecosystem so your IT team can focus on supporting impactful teaching and research.

Common Pain Points We Solve for Campus IT Professionals

Inconsistent Technology Across Departments

Details

Managing siloed or outdated instructional technology in higher education systems across multiple programs wastes time and resources.

IVS provides a unified video platform that standardizes training, feedback, and observation across all departments.

Limited Visibility into Training and Simulation Sessions

Details

IT teams are often asked to "just make it work" when faculty can't observe or assess students effectively.

With live-streaming, remote observation, and tagging, IVS enables educators to capture and review every critical moment.

Disorganized or Inaccessible Recordings

Details

Locating the right recording for a compliance audit or accreditation visit shouldn’t require a support ticket.

VALT organizes all video content in a secure, searchable system with smart tagging, bookmarking, and permissions. Making it easy for teams to access, search, and share A/V content.

Security, Privacy, and Compliance Concerns

Details

FERPA compliance and data security are non-negotiable.

IVS provides both cloud and on-premise options with granular access controls, audit trails, and encrypted storage.

"The ease of use and the clarity of the pictures are amazing. To be able to see some of the fine details in the video is wonderful.”

- Shelley Jeske, Simulation Learning Manager, Mount Royal University

FAQs

What Instructional Tech Leaders Ask

What are the advantages of your audio/video system over traditional video recording equipment?

The IVS VALT platform offers a centralized, secure, and scalable video capture system for education that streamlines everything from capture to review. Unlike basic recording hardware, VALT enables multi-camera capture, real-time tagging, secure role-based access, and integration with campus systems like LMS, PACS, or assessment platforms.

For IT leaders, this means less burden on internal teams, better security and compliance, and increased adoption across departments. Whether you're supporting simulation labs, counseling programs, or classroom observation, IVS can provide custom solutions designed for higher education.

Are IVS platforms and programs FERPA and HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Our systems are designed to keep the privacy and security of recorded video content through technical safeguards. These safeguards maintain compliance with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for healthcare clients and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) regulations for educational institutions. The HIPAA and FERPA compliant video system includes technical, physical, and administrative controls, which maintain the integrity and confidentiality of recorded information in sensitive environments.

What kind of access controls and permissions does the VALT platform offer?

At IVS, we prioritize the security and privacy of all recorded content. VALT supports stringent safeguards, including advanced encryption, user permissions, and user authentication. Only individuals with the necessary permissions and verified authentication can view or modify therapy training recordings. We work closely with our customers to ensure a secure and compliant implementation of our video solution.

Can I integrate VALT with Canvas, Blackboard or other LMS to manage training recordings?

Absolutely. VALT A/V capture supports integration with many learning management systems like Canvas, Blackboard, MedHub, Typhon, and more.

Our team works closely with each client to ensure a highly customized and seamless integration of our audio/video recording solutions. The IVS system is designed to incorporate your existing training schedules and workflows, enabling a smooth implementation process tailored to your specific needs.

What kind of technical support and training does IVS provide to ensure the successful implementation and utilization of the audio/video recording system?

IVS provides comprehensive technical support and training to ensure the successful implementation and utilization of the video recording system.

We work closely with Instructional Technology leaders to understand their specific needs and tailor the system to meet their requirements. In addition to initial installation support, we offer ongoing training and education to help users maximize the benefits of the video recording system.

Can this be deployed across our entire campus or university system?

Yes, IVS solutions are built to scale; from a single skills lab to a multi-campus university system. The platform supports both centralized and decentralized deployments, allowing you to manage access by department, user role, or physical location.

Whether you need to serve a single program, an entire department, or a system-wide initiative, IVS offers both on-prem and cloud-based options to align with your IT architecture and compliance needs. Institutions can standardize video observation and training across programs while maintaining flexibility in how each department uses the system.

Is VALT easy for higher education faculty to use?

When you choose VALT, faculty members can easily record, observe, tag, and review sessions with minimal technical training. The VALT system supports both live observation and post-session playback, so instructors can review student performance, provide feedback, and capture teachable moments. Tagging tools allow faculty to highlight key behaviors or competencies.

Most importantly, IVS solutions are designed to be intuitive, making it simple for educators to use video as a teaching tool without relying on IT support for daily use.

“VALT is a very easy tool. Less hardware, less cost, and working with IVS has been enjoyable. Everything has just been so easy, and there haven’t been any headaches. To date, we’re very happy with VALT.”

- Samantha Walker, Administrative Support Assistant, CEDAR Clinic
