Digital Study Halls: National University Taps Virtual Engagement Platform to Scale Student Support and Humanize Online Learning
Summary
At the core of the InSpace platform is the proximity-based audio and next-generation video conferencing capabilities it uses to vividly recreate the experience of in-person spaces for study, collaboration, and discussion. What drew us to this partnership was their impressive commitment to pushing technological boundaries and breaking down barriers for the diverse student demographics they serve," said Narine Hall, CEO, and co-founder of InSpace. The launch is the newest in a series of innovation pilots using emerging technologies to create dynamic and interactive learning experiences, complementing the asynchronous instruction that students receive through the universitys unique 4-week course format. As San Diegos largest private nonprofit university, NU offers over 190+ online and on-campus programs with flexible four-week and eight-week classes and one-to-one graduate education models designed to help students reach their goals while balancing busy lives. Since its founding, the NU community has grown to 130,000 learners per year—50,000 degree-seeking students and 80,000 workforce and professional development students—and 230,000 alumni around the globe, many of whom serve in helping industries such as business, education, health care, cybersecurity, and law and criminal justice.
