Case Study: Miami Dade College Delivers a Better Online Student Experience with Class

Delivering a Better Online Student Experience with Class

Miami Dade College, a large and diverse institution with over 100,000 students, faced significant challenges in engaging learners within its virtual synchronous programs. The college found it difficult to replicate the personal connection of an in-person classroom online, and existing video conferencing tools limited curriculum delivery and effective student engagement.

To address this, the college implemented Class, a virtual learning platform that integrates directly with its Canvas LMS. This solution from Class provided a more intuitive, student-focused experience with features like polling, collaborative whiteboards, and automated attendance tracking. The results included dramatically improved student engagement, with 57% of sessions using enhanced breakout rooms, and increased efficiency for instructors, allowing them to reallocate time back to teaching their students.
