Rapidmooc video studio, an essential part of the Arts et Métiers Learning Center

Founded in 1780, Arts et Métiers has consistently adapted to the evolving challenges of industry and society. Its primary mission is to train engineers specialising in sustainable technologies, with over 6,000 students across 14 locations.

The Metz campus installed a Rapidmooc studio when it opened its Learning Centre, with plans to extend this initiative to other campuses.

Growing video needs

Over time, Arts et Métiers identified three key areas where video would be the perfect solution:

  1. Internal Communication: for sharing information, announcements or testimonials.
  2. Teaching Needs: for creating MOOCs, video courses with presentations and course materials or assessments.
  3. Student Engagement: for promoting community projects and student activities.

An easy-to-use video solution available by reservationto boo

The Rapidmooc video studio is set up in a spacious room, designed to create a comfortable and inviting recording environment. Accessible by reservation, it can be used to produce both static and dynamic videos.

Following a brief training session, users are quickly able to create videos entirely on their own. They can handle everything themselves — from filming to exporting their final video on a USB drive.

“There’s a wow effect when we show the room. The video studio is a hit with both students and staff alike. We’ve already renewed the licence for the next 3 years.” – Samantha Stief

Arts et Métiers offers users the support of expert advisers who help them through their projects. The Metz campus actively promotes its video studio through various communication initiatives, including 360° videos on the website and annual back-to-school tours. These actions highlight the studio’s existence and showcase its practical benefits for users.

The next steps

The integration of AI functionalities will further enhance video content production. For instance, at the Metz campus, which is Franco-German, AI will enable automatic subtitling of videos, making them accessible to a broader audience.
