Case Study: University of Michigan achieves uninterrupted live-streamed teaching during extreme weather with Echo360

When Weather Turns Bad, Take Your Class Online – Continue Teaching by Live-Streaming Your Lecture

The University of Michigan faced a weather-related class cancellation when Winter Storm Jayden shut down campus, and Dr. Perry Samson needed a way to keep teaching his “Extreme Weather” course. Using Echo360, he was able to live-stream his lecture online to more than 100 students instead of canceling class.

Echo360 enabled Samson to keep the session interactive with polling, questions, and real-time student responses, just as in a physical classroom. The result was a seamless online class experience that students praised as valuable and engaging, showing how Echo360 can help universities continue instruction during extreme weather or other disruptions.
