Case Study: San Pablo CEU University Foundation - Hybrid Teaching

Challenge

The institution needed to reorganize and reshape its teaching approach in order to meet new educational requirements.

“The capacity restrictions owing to the pandemic posed the challenge of enabling all students to attend, regardless of whether or not they were able to travel to the campus. It was essential to ensure quality teaching in any attendance scenario.” Iñaki Bilbao, Vice-Rector for Digital Transformation at San Pablo CEU University.

Solution

The university chose Logitech Brio cameras to achieve its goals. After several proofs of concept, three cameras were fitted at different angles in each of the classrooms, allowing them to capture the teacher, the classroom and the content. “One of the key requirements was ease of use. The teaching staff were used to the traditional face-to-face classroom format. The introduction of new equipment was slightly disruptive. Fortunately, the initiative has gone really well and has been extremely popular with teaching staff and students alike.” Ricardo Palomo, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business Studies at CEU.

Result

The setup suggested by Logitech has allowed students connected remotely to interact in the most natural way possible with classmates and the teacher in the classroom. CEU Universities, whose teaching model is founded on face-to-face teaching, sees the use of dual-mode technology as a strategic advantage. Logitech's solution allows them to stand out from other universities, especially in the event of future scenarios where face-to-face combined with online teaching environments are required.
