"I was able to transition to remote and online teaching in a matter of days using Echo360. And, of all of the systems—we used to use Panopto video lecture capture and Top Hat for classroom attendance and student response software—I’ve found that Echo360 allowed me to innovate new ways of teaching my film studies class. I wouldn’t have been able to imagine a new way of teaching [my courses] that I have taught for 30 years that is more interactive and more fundamentally transformative of students’ skills.”
"Our experience in the spring demonstrated how crucial the teaching and classroom experience really is. We had to plan for any eventuality. Echo360 gave us a way to continue teaching and stay connected with our students in any scenario where we couldn’t be face-to-face. We discovered that Echo360 was important for classroom instruction too. DF/W rates and academic probation / suspension rates declined. The average student GPA also remained constant from prior semesters. It was a tool that supported learning through the course and helped improve learning outcomes."
“Even before COVID-19, there was growing demand among both our faculty and students to create a more flexible, personalized learning experience that enabled students to access course content in a variety of formats. COVID-19, of course, has accelerated the need for meaningful learning experiences outside the traditional classroom. The Echo360 platform makes it easier for faculty to intentionally teach online — or in whatever environment possible in the midst of the pandemic — and provides our students with 24/7 access to course materials, videos, and faculty insights.”
