VOCAT (Video Oral Diagnostic Assessment Tool) is an educational application that allows instructors at New York City's Baruch College to collect, store, and evaluate video recordings of student's oral presentations. Through the university's secure network, instructors can then share this video content, and their comments, confidentially with students who can watch their presentations online and see for themselves how they can improve. Cast Iron Coding is proud to have built this innovative application from the ground up using TYPO3, XML, and third-party video plug ins.
