They also toss in some quality free content packages as well. The have something of an ala cart pricing model so you can make Safari Montage work on a variety of budget levels. We have found the content on Safari Montage to be good and it keeps getting better. We no longer waste countless hours burning video to DVD or VHS and trucking them out to campuses. We can add quizzes and study guides that can be downloaded with the video. We can make those videos available not only to the teacher who requested the video, but also to anyone else who might see it or search on it. It might be something produced locally in a school, or it might be a teacher-requested video from PBS last night. We also get tremendous value from Safari by uploading our own videos. They love the idea of watching just chapters of video. Teachers are comfortable with ease of use and dependability. We have 15 different school buildings and our performance has been fantastic at all buildings. Safari Montage has been a great fit for us. As a result, we reviewed the field and settled on Safari Montage. It was never dependable and our teachers were quite frustrated. We started out with Discovery, and while we thought the content was solid, we struggled endlessly with delivery over the Internet, even though we had fairly high bandwidth coming in to the district. We have had both Discovery and Safari Montage in our district. I manage the AV services for our district. Reply by Brandon Holt on Septemat 1:37pm I now work for another district and just this weekend brought the server online. Now that makes the comparison Apples to Oranges.Ī few years ago, I wrote this post about Safari. Heck, they can even control who and how many folks can watch a video at one time. However, Safari has a host of other tools that can be added in including your own content, streaming off air, cable and even DVD video across your schools network. If you are comparing apples to apples you would be happy with either product. The content in many ways is superior to discovery. Safari runs locally at the school or if you have a solid pipe between sites, it can even run centrally. However, just as the pipe has increased, so have our demand on the access to the outside world. Now I do realize that most of us have been able to increase the pipe coming from the outside into our schools.
While Discovery is very agile with their ability to quickly get new content online is great, the issue with bandwidth to bring their content into the district is still and issue.
