Adapting Higher Education for COVID-19 – Using Dante to Create Hybrid Learning Environments

On this timely webinar, Audinate’s Joshua Rush speaks with Joe Way, Director of Learning Environments-Information Technology Services for USC to discuss the school’s migration to AV-over-IP using Dante. They will cover how this approach has helped to position USC to support a hybrid learning model in response to COVID-19 that combines limited on-campus student attendance with distributed classrooms and robust at-home experiences.

They will cover details of the various learning scenarios that are being contemplated at USC, the technology and products used, and how this Dante-driven model can be extended to other colleges and universities.
