Case Study: Westmoreland Intermediate Unit 7 Elevates Virtual Learning with Class

Supporting the Education of Students and Staff With Class

Westmoreland Intermediate Unit 7, an education support service serving 17 school districts, needed a more flexible and intuitive technology tool to expand its successful 15-year-old asynchronous eAcademy program into synchronous learning. Their challenge was engaging students in a virtual environment where traditional video conferencing tools offered little control or insight into participant attention and activity.

The vendor, Class, provided its next-generation virtual classroom solution. This created a seamless, all-in-one online experience that made users feel like they were in a physical classroom, reducing anxiety and increasing engagement. The results included empowering students to take control of their learning, enabling educators to upskill in virtual instruction, and giving administrators greater visibility into progress and attendance through built-in analytics, thereby successfully enabling synchronous, asynchronous, and blended learning formats.
