In August 2022 the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) announced a request for proposals (RFP) in search of a media platform for use at Ohio State, and an evaluation committee made up of representatives from across the university assessed and tested the vendors’ media tools. After much consideration, the RFP was awarded to Mediasite.

OTDI’s Learning and Collaborative Environments team has kicked off the process of streamlining OSU meeting room technology.

On Friday, March 29 , an update will be made to transaction routing for Service Centers.
