The Challenge

More Students. The Same Number of Faculty.

Programs that teach hands-on skills are growing, but faculty can only be in one room at a time. Students need more practice and more feedback, and accreditors expect proof of competency. Without the right tools, that work lands on already-stretched instructors.

Growing class sizes

More students per section means less one-on-one observation time for each learner.

Limited Faculty time

Instructors can’t watch every role play, check-off or session live, so feedback gets delayed or skipped.

Proving competency

Accreditation and licensure require consistent, documented evidence of each student’s skills.

Scattered recording tools

Tablets, phones and consumer cameras create lost files, privacy risks, and extra work for staff.

The Platform

One Platform for Every Skills Lab, Clinic and Classroom

VALT is browser-based, so there's no client software to install and almost no training required. It runs on a single, secure server that scales from one observation room to a campus-wide network, recording, tagging and streaming everything your programs need to teach, assess, and improve.

Observe live

Watch and control up to 16 cameras from one view with remote pan-tilt-zoom from a any device.
Record and search

Record live or automate with flexible scheduling. Video metadata makes it easy for students and faculty to quickly access the content they need.
Debrief and assess

Leave time-stamped comments, attach assessments, and build highlight clips to route detailed feedback.
Secure and compliant

Role-based permissions keep cameras and content separate, and encryption keep student and patient recordings protected.

Who Uses VALT

Built for Every Applied-Learning Program on Campus

Higher Education Video Recording FAQs

Which higher education programs use VALT?

VALT supports allied health programs like counseling, psychology, communication disorders, dental, OT/PT and athletic therapy; medical education including nursing, OSCEs, simulation labs and graduate medical education; and experiential programs like law clinics, business, social work, child studies, role play and university research centers.

How does video recording help faculty manage larger classes?

Faculty can watch several rooms live from any screen or broswer-based device, schedule recordings automatically, and leave time-stamped feedback on their own schedule instead of observing every session in person.

Can VALT be used for role plays and standardized patient encounters?

Yes. Rooms can be recorded on a schedule or with an in-room button, faculty can observe live and use talkback, and students can review the recording with comments afterward.

Can students watch their own recordings?

Yes. Recordings can be shared securely with specific students or groups so they can review and reflect, while you control who can view or download them

How does VALT help document student competency?

Custom evaluation forms and rubrics are linked to each recording, giving you a consistent, searchable record of each student’s performance over time.

Does VALT support FERPA compliance?

VALT supports FERPA compliance with role-based permissions, LDAP integration, group-based camera access and institution-defined retention periods.

Can one VALT system serve multiple departments?

Yes. A single server supports up to 50 HD IP cameras, and permissions are set by user group, so each department sees only its own rooms and recordings. You can also stack appliances to add more equipment.

How can our department pay for a video system?

We offer a perpetual licensing structure, with no per-user fee. Our software can be used across campus, so multiple programs can leverage the same system. We never sunset our software and offer continuous upgrades and training services. Many programs use grants. IVS offers a Grant & Funding Resource and a Grant Database Explorer to help you find funding options.

How long does installation take?

IVS manages planning, installation, and training. The average installation time depends on the setup and the number of rooms and cameras. We can set up a time that works around your school's schedule to install between campus breaks. However, we advise scheduling the installation as soon as possible, as many institutions prefer this time period.
