Looking to improve instructional quality, support assessment, and enhance student engagement with video? IVS helps teaching and learning leaders in higher ed implement secure, scalable A/V solutions that are built for academic impact—not IT complexity.

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

Hybrid and dynamic classrooms need more than one-size-fits-all tools. They need user-friendly, FERPA-compliant audio/video recording systems that scale across disciplines, work seamlessly with the LMS, and give faculty the power to record and reflect—without needing tech support.

At Intelligent Video Solutions (IVS), we empower teaching and learning professionals, like Directors of Instructional Technology, Directors of Teaching and Learning, and Academic Technologists with intuitive audio/video platforms that support faculty development, student performance, and experiential learning across the academic journey.

Common Challenges for Teaching and Learning Leaders

Inconsistent Faculty Adoption of A/V Tools

Details

If faculty struggle with complex platforms, they’ll avoid using them—no matter how powerful they are.

IVS provides intuitive interfaces that require minimal training, helping instructors focus on teaching and student feedback, not tech troubleshooting.

Limited Visibility into Student Performance

Details

Without observation tools, educators and mentors may miss the subtle cues that reflect growth or struggle.

Live or recorded sessions with tagging enable meaningful coaching and reflection, improving learning outcomes.

Dispersed or Disorganized Media Archives

Details

Managing video files across cloud drives, LMS platforms, and external tools becomes chaotic fast.

VALT centralizes all content into a searchable, organized platform, helping instructional support teams maintain academic continuity and integrity.

FERPA Compliance and Student Privacy

Details

Video recordings of learners require stringent access control.

IVS meets FERPA standards with user-level permissions, encryption, and audit trails—giving your institution peace of mind.

“We believe IVS to be one of the best training solutions there is on the market today.”

- Yang Wu, Microserve Installation Team, Mount Royal University

FAQs

What Teaching and Learning 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.

Is VALT easy to use?

The VALT platform is designed to be intuitive, allowing instructors to record, observe, tag, and review sessions independently with little to no technical training. Whether they’re facilitating live simulations or reviewing footage after class, faculty can seamlessly capture and revisit teachable moments, highlight key behaviors, and provide more targeted feedback. 

By simplifying video workflows, VALT empowers educators to use video as a natural extension of their instruction—without needing daily IT support.

“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
