SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Tegrity, provider of the leading class capture web service for higher education, announced today it will offer FREE full-semester trials of its flagship lecture capture system, Tegrity Campus 2.0, to qualifying institutions.

The free evaluation program -- which institutions must register for by January 15 for the spring semester trial -- is in recognition of the ongoing economic downturn, which has left many higher education institutions facing the dual pressures of shrinking budgets and increased enrollments. Tegrity's easily scalable service, which can be implemented with no additional infrastructure or IT investment, is a simple, affordable way for institutions to dramatically enhance student satisfaction, retention and performance.

Tegrity Campus 2.0 instantly captures, stores and delivers class content, in the form of podcasts and video, to every student on campus, which can be accessed anytime and anywhere they choose. In addition, with Tegrity's patented "search anything" technology, students can instantly search, find and retrieve the exact class moment they need, maximizing study time and efficiency. Unlike other solutions, Tegrity Campus 2.0 is a fully web-based service and easily and immediately deploys across the entire institution.

"Our mission is to help every student succeed academically and to help institutions enhance student learning, retention and satisfaction campus-wide, no matter what challenges they face," said Isaac Segal, president and CEO of Tegrity. "Current Tegrity customers report up to a 15 percent improvement in student performance with Tegrity. This free trial program will allow schools across the country facing educational challenges as well as financial and administrative pressures, to experience firsthand Tegrity's ability to help them achieve their institutional goals while at the same time enhancing students academic experience."
