Active Learning Blog

We’ve spent two days this week looking at the types of technology capture solutions available – namely software and hardware.  But the debate doesn’t stop there.  Today, we look at what matters most:  Teaching.

Non-traditional students are increasing in numbers across higher education institutions worldwide. As more and more adults return to college or vocational training programs, they want flexible learning programs to help them learn at their own pace while balancing work, family and other obligations. Digital learning solutions, like the Echo360 Active Learning Platform, provide mobile learning options to help these time-starved students reach their educational goals. The importance of mobile learning was highlighted in an article on The Evolllution entitled "Learning in Real Life: Mobile Learning and Non-Traditional Students."

Integrations, or the ability to work with seamlessly with other technology systems, should be at the top of every lecture capture shopper’s checklist. Integrations fuel adoption, lower staff time to maintain solutions and increase student satisfaction.

The Ara Institute of Canterbury (formerly Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology) is leading the pack when it comes to using innovative technologies to offer more flexible, active learning to prepare more than 5,500 full-time and part-time students for sustainable careers.
