Echo360, a Dallas-based firm that describes itself as a “global leader in campus wide active and distance learning solutions” has been selected as the University of Toronto’s standard for lecture capture.
Chosen for its ease of use by instructors and administrators, the award-winning learning technology acts as a fulsome tool for academics to create and capture instructional content both inside and outside the classroom.
“Our selection committee chose Echo360 because it met the most needs for the University of Toronto,” said Dr. Avi Hyman, director of academic and collaborative technology at the University of Toronto. According to Hyman, the technology provides a “manageable, unified system” for the university’s technical staff.
Echo360 also acts as a facilitator for a growing number of online courses. The technology allows for class sessions to be recorded, so students can watch lectures where and when it is convenient for them. Instructor office hours are also virtual and video-based.
