Case Study: Abu Dhabi University achieves unified teaching across gender-segregated campuses with Lifesize

Middle Eastern University Utilizes LifeSize HD Video Collaboration to Bridge the Gap Across Gender-Segregated Campuses

Abu Dhabi University (ADU), a leading UAE university with campuses in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, needed a way to respect gender-segregated teaching while making faculty more efficient. Professors were forced to give the same lecture four times (men and women at both campuses), and an earlier video solution failed due to poor image quality and low usability.

ADU deployed LifeSize HD video endpoints and management after impressive demos and competitive pricing; the sharp video and easy data sharing let instructors teach simultaneously across genders and campuses. The technology is now used across disciplines (including engineering and business), reduces intercampus travel, and is being expanded into administrative use.
