Middlesex University
MDX Play - website

This world-class website shares the experience and expertise of Middlesex University with students, prospective students, staff and stakeholders everywhere. 

It provides a portal to upload and watch videos and listen to podcasts.

Our remit was to allow Middlesex University to showcase their existing videos online and help them reach out to new markets without facing the inherent physical constraints and limitations stemming from the geography of data as it is distributed across the globe. With widespread adoption of online video and other rich media content, delivering this content reliably, quickly and making it accessible is challenging. But we delivered a first class solution utilizing the most up to date web technology available and made Middlesex University a formidable presence in the rich media community, in the process. The end result is a highly available, extremely fast rich media distribution network that showcases Middlesex University at a higher level, increasing participation and community aspects through social media initiatives.

Over 90% of content is produced by Middlesex’s own students who apply their newly acquired skills to produce a wide range of video and audio content, from student work to event coverage, keynote speeches and specialist content commissioned by academic staff.
