Case Study: University of Santo Tomas delivers accessible on-demand learning with Panopto

University of Santo Tomas keeps 45,000 students learning with Panopto

The University of Santo Tomas (UST), one of the world's largest Catholic universities, faced the challenge of moving 45,000 students online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The university needed to redesign its classes and assessments while also overcoming the obstacle of unreliable internet connections for students across the Philippines. To address this, UST turned to the video platform Panopto.

UST implemented Panopto to create interactive and accessible asynchronous video lessons. This solution allowed the university to record live sessions and integrate them with its learning management system for on-demand viewing. The impact was profound, as Panopto enabled a secure and effective blended learning approach that ensured students with limited internet access were not left behind, keeping the entire student body engaged and learning throughout the academic year.
