Case Study: East Asian Academy for New Liberal Arts achieves flexible blended learning across time zones with Panopto

East Asian Academy for New Liberal Arts blends synchronous and asynchronous learning across time zones with Panopto

East Asian Academy for New Liberal Arts (EAA) faced the challenge of moving its courses online at the start of the pandemic. The university's existing tools, like Zoom, proved insufficient for replicating in-person pedagogies, creating a need for greater flexibility to support both synchronous and asynchronous learning for its remote students across East Asia. Two faculty members advocated for a solution from vendor Panopto to address these teaching and learning challenges.

Implementing Panopto provided EAA with a video platform that enabled a blended learning approach. The solution reduced instructor stress by making it easy to create and edit content, and it delivered a consistent, on-demand learning experience for students spread across different time zones. Faculty praised the platform's usability and plan to continue using Panopto for asynchronous and blended learning post-pandemic, with leadership seeing its potential for future global academic initiatives.
