Case Study: Duquesne University achieves greater student engagement and interactive visual presentations with Explain Everything

Duquesne University - Customer Case Study

Duquesne University, a Catholic university with a strong pharmacy program, faced declining student attention and wanted to make lectures more interactive rather than clicking through static slides. Marsha McFalls, assistant professor of pharmacy practice and Director of Educational Technology, turned to Explain Everything and specifically the Explain Everything Whiteboard to engage students and move away from traditional bullet-point presentations.

Explain Everything’s whiteboard let McFalls draw live diagrams, use a built-in web browser to keep resources in one place, and create a 1:1 tutoring feel during class and online sessions. Students responded positively to the interactive format, engagement increased, and faculty workflows for both in-person and online teaching were streamlined—outcomes McFalls attributes directly to Explain Everything’s features and responsive support.
