After a rigorous RFP process, the system of the Higher Colleges
of Technology (HCT) has selected the YuJa Enterprise Video Platform
to serve more than 23,000 students and 2,000 staff at its 17
modern, technology-enhanced campuses in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE). HCT is the largest higher education institution in the UAE
with campuses in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai, Fujairah, Madinat Zayed,
Ras Al Khaimah, Ruwais and Sharjah.
The system was seeking a unique on-premise or hybrid solution
that would enable multimedia and live streaming, and that provides
variable playback speeds, automatic captioning and captioning
translation, video editing and in-video quizzing, analytics, tools
for recording and editing inputs from multiple video sources,
multimedia branding, and robust multimedia video content library
management, among other features that enhance teaching and
learning. In addition to meeting these requirements, the YuJa
Enterprise Video Platform offers other tools that will increase
interactivity and drive collaboration throughout the system. It
integrates with Blackboard Learning Management System, Class
Collaborate, Microsoft Teams, and offers local storage.
As a premier partner with AWS YuJa’s preferred status
facilitates a tight partnership, advanced security, redundancy, and
reliability with use of the AWS Middle East (UAE) at the Fujairah
data center.
“Throughout the 23/24 academic year, HCT is continuing its focus
on bringing the highest standards of education for its faculty and
students while seamlessly integrating on-campus and online teaching
and learning practices,” the RFP said. “This platform would aim to
broaden pedagogical and technological opportunities for online and
hybrid learning available to HCT faculty by seamlessly integrating
into HCT’s existing learning management ecosystem and providing
cutting edge online video streaming, production, content
management, and rich multimedia enhancement options.”
“YuJa is an established company with in-depth experience in
deploying multimedia content management solutions at institutions
of all sizes and in diverse locations,” said Nathan Arora, Chief
Business Officer at YuJa, Inc. “We’re proud to have earned the
