"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 research showed that students who had these flexible learning needs benefited in some way when Echo360 was used in their class. It can be used to live-stream lectures online or students can watch videos that have already been recorded. That capability supports students who may not be able to physically attend a class, for whatever reason. Overall, our findings showed that Echo360 made course content more accessible, more engaging, encouraged greater participation and engagement, and enhanced their ability to understand the material being presented.”
“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.”
