  • The Music Industry in the Social Networking Era
    THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THE SOCIAL NETWORKING ERA By Xi Yue A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Telecommunication, Information Studies and Media 2011 Abstract THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THE SOCIAL NETWORKING ERA By Xi Yue Music has long been a pillar of profit in the entertainment industry, and an indispensable part in many people’s daily lives around the world. The emergence of digital music and Internet file sharing, spawned by rapid advancement in information and communication technologies (ICT), has had a huge impact on the industry. Music sales in the U.S., the largest national market in the world, were cut in half over the past decade. After a quick look back at the pre-digital music market, this thesis provides an overview of the music industry in the digital era. The thesis continues with an exploration of three motivating questions that look at social networking sites as a possible major outlet and platform for musical artists and labels. A case study of a new social networking music service is presented and, in conclusion, thoughts on a general strategy for the digital music industry are presented.

  • The Role of the Network in Flipped Classrooms
    WHITE PAPER PLUGGED IN: THE ROLE OF THE NETWORK IN FLIPPED CLASSROOMS How Networked AVTechnology Can Make Active Learning More Flexible EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The flipped classroom gets its name from the way it “flips” traditional lecturing in class from passively listening and taking notes to watching lecture videos online and coming to class to collaborate and study in groups. The education in a flipped classroom focuses on “active learning,” a group-based, interactive learning style that is centered on problem solving and learning by doing. To facilitate this, desks in the classroom are shifting from traditional static rows to movable workstation clusters called “pods,” where student groups work together on problems. Much of this collaborative learning involves students and teachers bringing in a variety of devices and sharing content as well as student and teacher presentations as part of the daily assignments. Technology in flipped classrooms provides this capability, ensuring flexible, scalable methods of distributing audio and video between the various student pods as well as the instructor’s station and the main display(s) in the room. By using networked AV that distributes, controls and manages audio and video over a standard IT network, educational institutions can provide the advanced collaborative capabilities these dynamic spaces need, while ensuring the spaces are able to shift and change easily as the needs of the classroom change. CONTENTS THE RISE OF ACTIVE LEARNING ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 3 WHY FLIPPED CLASSROOMS

  • Avid Technology Announces Q2 2020 Results
    Avid Technology Announces Q2 2020 Results August 3, 2020 68% Year-Over-Year Subscription Revenue Growth Driven by Continued Increase in Paid Subscriptions with Net Increase of 24,000 Subscriptions in the Quarter Operating Income Increased 214% Year-Over-Year from Improved Gross Margin and Significantly Reduced Operating Expenses BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID), a leading technology provider that powers the media and entertainment industry, today announced its second quarter 2020 financial results. During the second quarter, the Recurring Revenue components of the company’s business were resilient despite the COVID-19 global pandemic. The Company reported record subscription revenue of $16.4 million, up 68% year-over-year and maintenance revenue was stable, resulting in 8.5% year-over-year growth in Annual Contract Value. Also, in the quarter, Avid significantly improved its profitability as a result of higher gross margin coupled with a more efficient cost structure. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin of 760 basis points was a result of a greater portion of revenue coming from higher-margin software in the quarter and benefits from expense reductions in non-material cost of sales. Profitability was also enhanced by the $11 million year-over-year reduction in operating expenses in the quarter, which the Company will continue to closely manage towards the target of at least a $30 million reduction for fiscal 2020. For the second quarter, total revenue declined year-over-year, as the non-Recurring Revenue portions of the Company’s business related to product and professional services continued to be negatively impacted by weaker demand as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has caused the postponement or cancellation of many live music and major sporting events, and the temporary suspension of many film and television productions.
