Crowdsourcing and User Generated Content: Simplified Media Contributions for Higher Education

Communicating with your students, families and communities requires both speed and authenticity. We have all come to expect a constant stream of photos and videos to stay informed and engaged.

Your designated photographer and videographers are the lynchpin of your visual communication. But they can’t be everywhere. Mediagraph offers a game-changing tool to keep your feed humming while maintaining authenticity.

Easy and Authentic Visual Storytelling for Universities

Our Quick Upload feature provides a complete solution for collecting timely, authentic, permission-cleared imagery for your social media channels. This mobile-friendly solution allows you to make requests from anyone in your community. It could include a large team of authorized contributors. It can even be opened up to the public, or all attendees at any event.

Set up an unlimited number of “submission pipelines.” These are easy enough for anyone to manage.
Each pipeline can include the text of a request, a designated folder for the upload, and some automatic tagging for all files that come through.
It’s easy to set this up for an approval workflow that helps you rapidly make files available to a social media team in real time.

Mobile-Friendly Media Collection

The request URL can be distributed in many different ways. It can be embedded in a web page or email, it can be texted directly to a social media team. It even generates a QR code that can be posted at an event.

Safe, Rights-Cleared Contributions for Events and Special Programs

Users must agree to the terms of use before they can start uploading files. You are in full control of the text of that agreement. All files coming through the pipeline will be tagged with a rights statement that you are also in control of.
Mediagraph can keep these crowdsourced files separated from the other content in the DAM.
