Better collaboration with Cisco.
The goal is to make the experience for those who are remote as good or even better than being in person. We rigged the meeting rooms with Webex Room Kits from Cisco—and we got extremely good feedback on how these devices help include people from different countries and with different languages. We want to expand on that.
[Unlike other multi-vendor solutions], Webex offered a competitively priced, complete solution for schools that met all our criteria. In addition, we were long-time Cisco customers for our telephony and networking equipment, so we trusted the reliability and longevity of Cisco.
Great learning only happens when the social and emotional side of a student's life is in balance. We needed a technology where the whole purpose was to engage students and learners.
Control your meeting space.
