“When we showed instructors and faculty the features in YuJa, it was like Christmas came early. They were thrilled.”
Dr. Terry Durham Dean of Academic Technology
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Motlow State College was already evaluating video platforms to support its growing online learning needs. The institution faced challenges managing multiple solutions for video hosting, accessibility-checking, and other educational technologies. As a public, multi-campus college serving a diverse population across southern middle Tennessee, the college needed a unified platform that could serve expanding digital learning requirements while remaining cost-effective.
Institutional leaders soon realized they needed more than just a video solution. They needed a comprehensive platform that could address accessibility compliance, support various learning styles, and streamline administrative workflows. “From an administrative standpoint, we were using three separate products for our video solution, video editing, and accessibility, and we started evaluating products to consolidate costs that would give us video, accessibility-checking, and other features,” said Dr. Terry Durham, Dean of Academic Technology at Motlow State Community College. “We also knew several institutions in the Tennessee Board of Regents were using YuJa products,” added April Harris, Instructional Designer. When they demoed the products, “It was like Christmas came early,” Durham described.
“YuJa is an easy-to-use auto-captioning video platform that our campus really enjoys using and finds beneficial for both faculty and students.”

“What drew us to YuJa was the focus on teaching and learning and the availability of accessibility features…”

“YuJa has provided our university with tools that enhance the student learning experience while making the
work of creating and sharing accessible documents and videos more efficient. This has provided our instructors
with more time for what is important in the learning process: interacting with their students.”
