Case Study: University of Edinburgh achieves 50% student adoption and future-proof lecture capture with Echo360

Choosing a cutting-edge lecture capture solution for the future

The University of Edinburgh needed a future-proof, campus-wide lecture capture and video management solution to meet rising student demand and a tight implementation timetable. Rather than a standard tender, the university used an OJEU competitive dialogue process to evaluate suppliers deeply and secure a progressive, long-term partner that could meet strict technical, accessibility and integration requirements.

They selected Echo360 and deployed a comprehensive platform offering lecture capture, active-learning tools, live Q&A and study guides. With 138 rooms installed initially (planned to reach 300 by year end), the system proved reliable and easy to use—more than 50% of students had logged in within six months—and the close partnership enabled a smooth rollout, strong student engagement and wider adoption of the procurement approach across the university.
