By integrating Class and Canvas, MDC was able to completely transform the online learning experience for both students and staff. “Before the Class platform was introduced into our ecosystem, it felt like we were talking to an empty room,” recalls Eduardo. “But thanks to Class, we can see the interactions and see students feel more natural in this remote environment. We can get them engaged in their education before they slip through the cracks.”

“What makes our online program unique in my opinion is taking the traditional classroom setting and bringing that into a virtual environment where the student is actually seen,” shares Guillermo. “I think that a lot of times students fall behind in a virtual classroom because they don’t feel present in front of the faculty or the instructor. With Class, we’ve created a safe place to interact, a safe place to engage in the conversation that is being held in the classroom. Class also empowers the instructor to feel as though they have more control and more features available to them that better enhance the classroom experience in general.”

By entrusting Class to facilitate their unique learning program, CC-LIVE is able to support districts and students across the entire state of Colorado in need of high-quality teachers. Choosing a flexible solution like Class empowered CC-LIVE to provide a more equitable learning experience for students while addressing the nationwide teacher shortage.

“There are so many variables within the CC-LIVE model, and having Class as our platform really makes us adaptable,” shares Nicollete. “You could take one of our teachers, and they could be in five different communities throughout the state of Colorado in a day. And students get to stay in their school structure. They’re still next to their friends, chatting and having a good time, so we’re able to make sure that they still get that social and emotional support.”

“Some of the tools in Class really open up a new way for learning for some students that they had not experienced in their other in-person classes,” concludes Roxie. “So we want to give students an opportunity to experience those things, reflect on those things, and use that knowledge to think forward about their education.”

By adding Class to their technology stack, Premier America can deliver a more engaging virtual learning experience that supports the whole employee, improves the quality of their courses, and positions the overall business as an employer of choice.

“Using the Class virtual tool has really opened some doors for us as far as team member engagement is concerned,” explains Chris. “That is a top priority for Premier America as our goal of being an employer of choice, so using tools like Class where it allows team members to easily replicate in-person experiences will be the key to a consistent member experience and team member experience moving forward.”

“The training team really enjoys using Class,” adds Robyn. “I think as a whole, it makes the remote learning easier. They have tools and resources where it naturally engages the learner.”

“Class not only allows our trainers to be more effective at delivering the content, but it also holds our attendees accountable for actually participating. And that has been kind of a missing piece of our training,” concludes Shelley. “Our team members have really embraced being able to be trained remotely because they appreciate the fact that they don’t have to sit in traffic, and it helps them with scheduling for childcare. They just really appreciate that flexibility and the fact that we’ve considered their needs, which is beyond a work need. As part of our goal of being an employer of choice, we want to make sure that we focus on our team members, the whole team member, not just the person in front of me today and the work that they’re going to do for me, but also what makes up that particular team member. Their families, their circumstances, where they live. So the more flexibility that we can provide for our team members, I believe that that’s again a differentiator for us in creating an employer of choice and will lead to long-term retention.”

By transitioning their proctoring services to Class, ACC has saved over $500,000. Class has empowered staff with a more efficient classroom management tool and students with a more flexible exam experience, which ensures test integrity and lasting comprehension.

“Being able to use Class for proctoring has given the faculty more time in the classroom to teach, which is actually beneficial to the student. This gives them more time to learn the information that they need to be successful in the course. It also allows them to schedule their exams at their convenience and at a convenient location for themselves, which really helps reduce test anxiety for them. Therefore, making them more successful in the end,” notes Zuleyka.

“We are in the business of providing education,” concludes Dr. Addae. “We are in the business of training people and giving them skills so they can find the jobs of tomorrow and today. Class has helped us adapt, stay nimble, and deliver a more effective online environment for staff and a more equitable education for our students.”

By adding Class to their edtech stack, Calcasieu delivered an engaging virtual instruction program that helps connect students and teachers, improve learning outcomes, and prepare students for the next step in their futures. The state of Louisiana even recognized the success of the VIP and awarded Calcasieu with a Model of Excellence—inspiring two more schools within the district to join the virtual program in the coming year.

“Now that I’m confident in the basics of Class, I can spend time learning new features,” says Samantha. “I’m super excited to bring in new schools and that new students will have the opportunity to take our classes.”

“The benefit for our students with live instruction through the virtual program is they still get the experience of having an instructor that they feel like they’re connected to,” concludes Doug. “They feel like they’re connected to a real classroom, and we can offer more college credit courses to more students.”

By adding Class to their technology stack, Schoox can deliver a more engaging blended learning experience that supports all types of learners, improves the quality of their L&D programs, and supports a healthier business overall.

“Class really supports all of our learners wherever they are,” says Amy. “It helps us serve our entire diverse population, and it supports our innovative culture by allowing us to provide the best tool for our customers. We’re growing a lot as a company, and Class empowers us to offer more courses to more people, so our L&D program can scale alongside the business.”

“People are able to truly connect,” concludes Karen. “At our leadership bootcamp, people said, ‘I’m able to create more connections because we can create experiences in a different way.’ The ability to meet learners where they are, meet our diverse needs in diverse ways—that supports who Schoox is as a culture. We’re able to create just so many better experiences through Class.”

By adding Class to their technology stack, CHES delivers a more equitable, accessible, and engaging hybrid learning experience that ultimately prepares both on-site and online students for their professional futures in a hybrid world. “The main benefit of Class for us is that it gives students in the classroom and students online an experience that’s almost as if they were there in the room together,” says Stewart. “And that’s what we’re really pleased about: they have that flexibility, and it doesn’t matter whether they’re online or on site. They’re learning how to communicate and collaborate in a hybrid model now, which will help them in their futures.”

“The pandemic showed that isolation is actually a real issue and that meaningful interaction is what’s important for student success,” adds Sapphira. “Using Class for interactive lessons and HyFlex learning means that our students get to know each other quickly, interact together, and form a bond really quickly. That enhances their learning of their subject and gives them confidence going into university courses, into the workforce, and in interacting in the wider world,” concludes Sapphira.

By adding Class to their existing web conferencing software, SLCC delivers a more equitable, accessible, and successful online learning experience for a staff distributed across 10 campuses and the most diverse student population in the state.

“I think we’re having such high adoption rates because we took the change management very seriously,” shares Stevens. “It’s an almost formulaic process where we plan on how to communicate and build FAQs, how-to articles, and knowledge base articles. I think our careful implementation has set ourselves up well to affect positive change and foster excitement about Class.”

“And what’s really important to us is we’re advocating for a positive experience for our students,” adds Gavin. “So Corey and I would not be doing all this work [to rollout Class] if we didn’t recognize that this was something that students were benefiting from as well. I hope other people can see the value of Class for their students and institution too.”

By using Class in place of their existing web conferencing software, Motlow State delivered a more meaningful and successful online learning experience for staff and students. In fact, 83% of surveyed Motlow State students said they preferred Class over their previous experience with the web conferencing tool.

“Data tells us that retention and graduation are dependent upon a sense of belonging,” explains Jenna. “And that sense of belonging is not just between the student and the professor. It’s also between the student and their peers. When you’re in an effective synchronous web environment, you get to know your classmates and form friendships and bonds that are going to help carry you forward and keep you invested in being at school.”
