WCET was founded by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) in 1989 as the Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications. WCET’s early goals were to meet a growing need to integrate distance learning and education technology into the academic services of higher education institutions across 15 Western states. These institutions chose to join forces to evaluate and share best practices, knowing the challenges and solutions were bigger than any one institution or state. Since then, WCET has evolved beyond its Western focus. Membership spans the nation, representing nearly every state and several countries.

Chosen by more than 900 colleges and universities, the award-winning Mediasite webcasting and content management system quickly and cost-effectively automates the capture, management, delivery and search of video presentations and accompanying graphics for live or on-demand viewing.
