Campus Technology 2019 Readers' Choice Awards
Most Valuable in the Institution This Year
Platinum: Terra Dotta
What readers said:
"Crisis management and ensuring the safety and well-being of our students abroad is more important than ever. I need to be confident that we are doing all we can, and AlertTraveler was a game changer in my confidence level. I no longer stay awake at night worried that I will miss something going on in the world that could impact our students, because I know AlertTraveler is there and provides valuable, time-sensitive response and resources to me and to my students while they are abroad. I would be lost without this service!"
"Terra Dotta helps us manage our study abroad and international student and scholar services data; their staff is very responsive to requested changes and upgrades, allowing us to continuously improve our advising, compliance and reporting services."
Gold: Zoom
What readers said:
"We have developed a pressing need for videoconferencing and had no previous solution, so Zoom gave us a multifunction room with videoconferencing. Integration plus ease of setup make it ideal for a quick deployment."
"Zoom, [for its] ease of use and the increased communication and productivity of meetings not requiring being in the same physical location."
Silver: Panopto
What readers said:
"Panopto allowed us to capture educational video at scale without expensive hardware overheads."
"Panopto allows for instructors/students to record and share information — another level of interaction."
