You may have heard of Super Content and how it makes us unique, but are unclear what that means. Our website describes Super Content as weaving multiple media types into one single asset, transforming traditional photos and videos into immersive and interactive content. Let’s take a step back and walk you through what Super Content is and how it is created.
If I asked you what this is, you would be able to answer.
This is, of course, a picture. Perhaps you could also tell me the file types it saves as if I asked: jpeg, gif, png. The same could probably be said for a video file (WMV, MOV, MP4) or and audio file (MP3, WAV, AAC)
These are all various types of media files. When you create a powerpoint, you may add pictures (.jpeg), audio clips (.MP3) or videos (.MP4) to add dimension to your presentation. When you save this newly created file it is saved as a .pptx. Despite the change in file type, when you open the presentation it will still contain all the images, audio clips, and videos you put into the presentation. Powerpoint allows you to add in different media types and create one master media type that stores them all.
Super Content is like powerpoint. It is its own media type, but it can contain other media types within it.
How It Works
At YouVisit, we wanted a better way to serve our customers and allow them to show more to prospective students. What we found was, while each piece of content is a valuable sentence of your story, no single piece alone could tell the whole story.
This insight resulted in a revolutionary way to transform your existing content into Super Content. What this allows you to do is combine each sentence of your story to show the whole picture.
Our Super Content builder allows you to use either a traditional or 360 photo as the foundation of what we call a destination. Destinations are places around campus students want to visit and explore. Pictures, videos, and other various types of media can be layered right on top of the original image. The result, Super Content, has multiple layers of individual content that seamlessly become one cohesive interactive experience. This newly created content can be embedded on your website to show prospective students more when visiting your page.
A Closer Look
For example, take a look at this piece of Super Content embedded below:
Hanover

Lynn Hall
You've never seen a residence hall like this before! Once Hanover's gymnasium, Lynn Hall now serves as a suite-style living and learning community. Throughout your journey at Hanover, you can also choose to live in traditional dorms, themed houses or Greek houses. No matter where you live on campus, you're always close to the action. All of our residence halls are just a short walk to classrooms, athletic facilities, performance spaces and social areas.
Library
The support you receive as a Hanover student is unmatched. The Duggan Library complements the rigor of Hanover College by offering accessible and useful support services like dedicated research librarians and the Gladish Learning Center where you can attend study groups or receive FREE academic mentoring in every subject!
Hanover's academic values are rooted in the liberal arts, which is why there's no doubt that you will gain the skills employers and graduate programs demand: whether it's problem-solving, teamwork, research skills or written and oral communication techniques– you'll have a competitive advantage over other applicants and be prepared to conquer whatever comes your way.
Wiffleball
THAT'S A HOMERUN!!! Homeruns and stolen bases are a small part of Hanover College's most exciting time of year! While the Annual Lambda Chi Wiffleball Tournament is a blast, it's only one piece of Hanover's unique May Term experience.
May Term at Hanover is simple – one month, ONE class. Sounds great, right? What if I told you that you could take that ONE class in Italy, Vietnam, Brazil or Egypt? A four-week term like May Term is the perfect time to take a class of your interest in a different part of the world where your class environment is bound to be rich of memorable experiences.
Shoebox
Karaoke, wine and canvas nights, live bands and game-day parties… They all happen right here at our student-run campus pub… the Shoebox!
This is only one of our three dining locations on campus. Whether you choose to use your meal plan at our all-you-can eat campus center dining hall, food-court-like Underground or the happening Shoebox, Hanover is committed to meeting your dietary needs and even your caffeine fix. Don't worry, you won't go hungry!
Alumni Stadium
Panther athletics bring pride to all members of the Hanover community. How could it not when we have won 33 conference championships and made 15 National Tournament appearances in the last 5 years! We even hold the all-time NCAA record for most receptions in a football game right here in Alumni Stadium!
With a third of our students participating in one of Hanover's NCAA DIII teams, you, too, may have the opportunity to continue your athletic passion! Regardless of your sport, you will be supported as a student-athlete, because to say you excel at both is an understatement.
Horner Center
At Hanover, we want you to stay active! The Horner Center is the home of our many fitness opportunities and there is definitely something for you.
Play floor hockey on an intramural team or join a club sport like rugby. Does Zumba, yoga or high-intensity training sound more interesting? Maybe you'd like to work with a personal trainer and get nutrition guidance? No matter what you decide to do, our indoor facilities are available at your convenience. The best part is that you don't have to pay a dime! It's ALL FREE as a Hanover student.
Withrow Activity Center
The Withrow Activities Center is the hub of student life at Hanover. Here, you'll enjoy our improv comedy troop, Evil Petting Zoo and guest speakers like Bill Nye or Nick Offerman from the hit TV show Parks and Recreation. There's no doubt you'll find yourself in Withrow for a student org meeting or even just to hang-out between classes.
Student Life also houses the Haq Center that provides active resources for international and domestic multicultural students, the LGBTQ+ Center, Brown Chapel and our interfaith prayer room.
At Hanover, we celebrate our differences and are proud to be a welcoming campus for all!
The Underground
Welcome to The Underground. Get your favorite coffee or frozen drink at Café 1827, proudly serving Starbucks, or grab something to eat at fast dining options like Cinco Cantina - serving classic Mexican cravings – or the Firehouse Grille with its tasty options. Open early. Open late. The Underground fuels students and provides comfortable gathering and social spaces to fit busy schedules.
Quad
Aside from the Point, the Quad is our most iconic spot on campus. While it's the place to be on beautiful days to play frisbee or lay out in the sun, it's also where the campus-wide snowball fight erupts on the night of the first snowfall every year!
Regardless of the weather, you'll run into your friends, professors walking their dogs and even President Lambert and his family. Whether you're chilling in a hammock, walking a slackline, playing campus golf or throwing that first snowball, you'll always feel Hanover's strong sense of community surrounding you.
Trails
Hanover College is the region's leading campus in preserving a natural environment with miles of hiking trails and waterfalls… Yes, I said waterfalls! As you can see, the majority of our 650-acre campus still looks just as Mother Nature intended, and if you're not doing research in an outdoor lab, a walk in Happy Valley is the perfect stress reliever during finals.
Look around, feel yourself relax and take in the natural beauty of Hanover…
Hendricks
Life after Hanover starts here at Hendricks Hall, home of the Business Scholars Program and Levett Career Center.
Why not major in what you're passionate about and mix it with practical business skills? That's the philosophy of our Business Scholars Program and results speak for themselves.
Your success is Hanover's priority and at the Levett Career Center, you'll have the support you need to get into a top-ranked graduate program or land the job of your choice. Whether you work alongside recent alumni at Google, Goldman Sachs, The White House OR chart your OWN path, your time at Hanover will change your life.
That's the beauty of Hanover.
Downtown Madison
The beauty of Hanover extends beyond our campus and into our college town – which is home to renowned music and art festivals, the Madison Regatta, and was recently named one of America's best communities. Take the FREE campus shuttle downtown to check out locally-owned shops and restaurants or head to the hilltop to find everything else you need!
Hanover College is in the perfect location with a thriving small town at its core and Louisville, KY, Cincinnati, OH, and Indianapolis, IN, at its fingertips. These booming metropolitan cities are all between 45 - 90 minutes from our campus so your opportunities are endless!
We started with a 360 photo of a whiffle ball game going on on campus. This 360 is the foundation of the destination. If you move your mouse around the destination, you will see another 360 photo and video we added on top of the base picture. Within Super Content all three files become one image students can interact.
The layers are what turn your traditional content into interactive and immersive content. A flat image shows a snapshot of a place in time, but layering on more content adds depth and perspective. Each additional piece of content added to the base image allows prospective students to get a clearer picture of the unique story you are trying to tell.
Why It Matters
Prospective students want more information before making decisions than previous generations, and that’s exactly what super content does. Showing students more leads to more knowledge and higher conversions. Every school has a story that is uniquely theirs. This is a way for students to know that story.
