Higher Education Solutions

As part of our mission to change the way people communicate, Solutionz offers higher educational institutions a number of resources designed specifically to give your institution an enrollment and educational competitive advantage. Our visual communications products are the best available, but technology alone does not create the only competitive advantage - it's how professors and educational institutions use it and incorporate it that makes the difference.

New Student Base

Many higher education institutions are realizing the need for a new student base to increase revenue without having to increase expenses of personnel funding. In order to do so, many institutions are now increasing their footprint of where their students can be located by creating virtual classrooms accessible via video conference. These high-tech virtual classrooms give educational institutions the ability to expand their "campus" and to allow for students and instructors to interact without feeling disconnected from the curriculum.

Content Streaming and Recording

When it comes to new student enrollment, the top prospective students typically choose educational institutions that offer the student advantages that other institutions would not. One of the top ways to set your educational institution apart from others is to use video conferencing to stream and record each classroom session. With video conferencing, students who missed class either due to illness or athletic travel can now pull up the recorded classroom session and view it as though they had been there in person.

Moreover, institutions can benefit from the student-athlete competitive advantage perspective when it comes to recruiting top athletes. Video conferencing is appealing to prospective athletes as they no longer have to worry about making up missed classes due to athletic travel. Instead, student-athletes can now either attend a class "virtually" from their travel location or view it at a later time that is convenient with their schedule.

How does this benefit the school you may ask? by offering an added benefit to potential recruits that other institutions do not offer, your institution can attract and obtain the top-tier athletes, which in turn transforms into a winning athletic program, which in turn results in more alumni and athletic sponsor donations, ultimately resulting in more revenue for the school.

Advantages for Soon-To-Be Graduates

Not only can your educational institution offer a competitive advantage with recording and streaming classroom sessions, but you can give your soon-to-be graduates a competitive advantage when it comes to firms recruiting soon-to-be graduates for job positions. Many firms today are using video conferencing in the interview and hiring process to save time, recruit in larger regions, and more importantly save costs.

Video conferencing does not necessarily take the place of face-to-face final interviews, but it can serve in the screening process and help cut out three or four of the interview cycles, in large part due to the ability to record and archive a video interview for other executives to view at a later time. Video conferencing allows for more candidates to be interviewed regardless of geographical and financial limitations, thus resulting in firms obtaining the best and brightest recruits possible.
