Situation

Baylor University is a private Christian university and a nationally ranked research institution in Waco, Texas, USA. Baylor provides a vibrant campus community for more than 16,000 students by blending interdisciplinary research with an international reputation for educational excellence and a faculty commitment to teaching and scholarship.

"The global pandemic this year caused numerous challenges for our classroom technology team. These included identifying a hardware solution to capture video in close to 100 classrooms in a very short amount of time," said Conner Krey, the Director of Learning Spaces.

"Our solution had to be affordable, available immediately, and reliable so that our faculty and students could trust the solution would always deliver the needed content to enable and enhance teaching and learning in the classroom."
