Capturing Lectures Lets More Students Engage with Them

Howard University found itself unexpectedly in need of new lecture capture technology when its previous vendor closed, and choosing Echo360 provided administrators and instructors with bold new tools to drive positive educational outcomes. EchoVideo’s Universal Capture capabilities allow Howard instructors to easily record and archive lectures, allowing students to go back for a refresher at any time. Furthermore, EchoPoll’s built-in analytical tools help admins pinpoint students who may be losing focus for early intervention.

Echo360's e3 Formula in Action

Howard University leverages EchoPoll and EchoVideo to increase student participation and engagement. Adding quizzes to prerecorded lectures to verify understanding has proven essential to helping learners pursue their goals successfully.

3 Key Takeaways

Never Underestimate Multimodal Learning

Most students study best when they can engage multiple senses. EchoVideo’s ASR capabilities allow Howard students to read and hear academic lectures, promoting information retention compared to listening alone.

You Can Start Slow

EchoPoll is equipped with multiple features to help learners succeed and Howard realized that it might be overwhelming to introduce them all at once to students, instructors, and administrators. Instead, the educational institution is pursuing an ongoing strategy of implementation to ensure all stakeholders get as much as they can from the innovative Echo360 technology.

Tech Has to Work for Everyone

Many organizations fall into the trap of focusing exclusively on students. EchoPoll combines a great student experience with sortable dashboards for administrators and accessible course creation tools, allowing Howard University to deliver an outstanding experience for everybody.
