Michigan Colleges Alliance (MCA) is the third largest higher education institution in the State of Michigan. With 40,000 students on fifteen campuses, MCA wanted to leverage video conferencing and whiteboard technologies to better connect their student/faculty communities and expand educational programs across their system.
MCA’s early experience with video conferencing wasn’t great based on the cost and complexity of the technologies and communication platforms available at the time.
But the current generation of video conferencing technology from Logitech and Google has solved all that. Today, campus IT staff have enthusiastically endorsed and adopted Logitech/Google solutions while over 90 percent of the student body rates video-enabled collaborative classrooms as “Better” or “Much Better” than traditional learning environments.
