Avaya (NYSE: AVYA), a global leader in solutions to enhance and
simplify communications and collaboration, is enabling educational
institutions worldwide to adapt to new ways to educate and engage
with students with cloud-based meeting and collaboration
capabilities that are keeping students learning and curriculums on
track with Avaya Spaces™.
Avaya Spaces, the all-in-one video collaboration app for the
digital workplace, changes the way learning gets done. It helps
bring together distributed groups of people instantly with
immersive work spaces where they can message, meet, share content
and manage tasks from a browser or mobile device, and provides an
easy, secure and effective way to collaborate in the cloud.
Institutions ranging from local schools to large universities
with geographically diverse student populations are using Avaya
Spaces for their virtual classroom needs as they keep their
students and teachers connected and safe. Educational institutions
such as Ancona Liceo, Charter College, Icon International, Florida
State University, Graf-Zeppelin High School, Michigan State
University, Montclair State University, North Dakota State
University, St. John’s Lutheran School, UC Berkeley, University of
Mississippi, University of Tennessee, University of Southern
California, UC San Francisco and Virginia Tech are among the
thousands of schools globally that are teaching and learning with
Avaya Spaces.
“The global adoption of distance learning represents a paradigm
shift from traditional educational models and has introduced a
steep learning curve for both teachers and students. The
flexibility and ease of use of Avaya Spaces flattens that curve,
and supports those who need communication and collaboration when it
matters most,” said Simon Harrison, SVP and Chief Marketing
Officer, Avaya. “As a world leader in collaboration solutions, we
continue to accelerate our work with educators across the globe to
enable distance learning powered by cloud innovation and an
easy-to-use app that combines the best of video conferencing with
true, immersive collaboration and 24-7 engagement and
communication.”
Avaya Spaces enabled St. John’s to quickly implement a simple,
single, user-friendly solution that students, teachers, and
administrators could use on any device without the need to install
and maintain software. Beyond education, St. John’s is using the
platform for board meetings, church services, and other group
gatherings. “I’ve always considered myself a pioneer of new
technology and ideas for educating, but COVID-19 was a challenge
beyond anything I could have imagined. It wasn’t about just using a
video solution to see each other. It was about moving operations
entirely online,” said Matthew Kamien, Principal at St. John’s
Lutheran School. “Having the Avaya OneCloud solution with Avaya
Spaces allowed our school and parish to continue its feeling of
connected family and community. When seeking a solution, this was
paramount. It is who we have been for over 150 years.”
Graf-Zeppelin High School, the Friedrichshafen-based institution
in Germany, introduced Avaya Spaces within a few days of the
nationwide lockdown, transitioned to a virtual classroom quickly,
and thus set up optimal conditions for successful knowledge
transfer in the digital space. “Open video chat offers such as Zoom
did not come into consideration for us, a secure system that could
be obtained via a German or European computer center was sought. We
needed to ensure that the cloud software complies with the
demanding requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation,”
said Fabian Feiri, School management team, Graf-Zeppelin High
School, Friedrichshafen. “Avaya Spaces convinced us after the first
test run, and also from a cost perspective–everything worked like
clockwork. Colleagues from the risk group can participate in school
conferences in this way without fear of infection. They remain safe
from a health-perspective, but at the same time remain informed of
important developments and information. Thanks to Avaya Spaces, we
can offer more normality during the crisis."
In Ghana, Icon International School has turned to technology to
ensure the continued delivery of education for its students.
Initially getting by with various freemium consumer apps, the
school eventually put in place a comprehensive remote learning
program with Avaya. “With Avaya Spaces, teachers are able to attend
to the individual needs of every learner,” said Elizabeth
Owusu-Bennoah, Proprietress, Icon International School. “We have
found the task management features particularly effective, as they
enable us to plan, type out assignments, and follow up on them all
within the same app. Previously, there was a lot of copying and
pasting between various different apps, but now everything is held
within an easy-to-access online space. With Avaya Spaces, we are
able to create a rich and academically stimulating environment that
students can access from the safety and comfort of their own
homes.”
Avaya Spaces is available in nearly 100 countries and is offered
with Avaya OneCloud™ Subscription, as well as on a standalone
basis. Learn how Avaya Spaces is available for free to education
