University of Arizona A Virtual Classroom Experience
10/31/2003
The system has paid for itself with the increase in enrollment generated from our the new distance learning program. In fact, the University of Arizona is now considering investing in a classroom with the newest version of the technology, allowing more seats, larger screens, and even better video resolution. The virtual classroom solution has made the evening MBA program more visible, raising our status with key decision-makers on campus.
The virtual classroom has provided the Eller College a high-quality and efficient means to integrate guest speakers from distant locations into the classes, conduct interviews for prospective staff members, enhance relevant college attendance, and bring more recruiters to Tucson (virtually).
