Case Study: University of Lynchburg boosts active learning and collaboration with Google for Education

University of Lynchburg trains 300 faculty in 5 days with Google for Education

The University of Lynchburg, a private liberal arts university, sought to move away from a traditional lecture model and embrace an active learning approach that fosters student collaboration. Their challenge was compounded by outdated systems that lacked real-time document collaboration and required costly server upgrades. To address this, they turned to Google for Education and implemented Google Workspace for Education.

By adopting Google Workspace for Education Plus, the university enabled seamless collaboration through Docs, Sheets, and Forms, eliminating inefficient email exchanges and paper-based processes. The solution from Google for Education also provided secure, recorded lectures via Meet and robust security features that blocked a widespread phishing attack. Results included significant time savings for administrative staff, a near-total reduction in back-and-forth communication, and a successful pivot to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, training 300 faculty in just five days.
