Over a weekend, AddPro ensured that teaching could continue to take place over the Internet without the need for complicated installations for either students or educators. To protect its educators and students from being infected by Covid-19, Nackademin decided as early as March to switch to distance education for all its educations. Typically, the polytechnic has between 800 and 900 people on site per day, who needed access to virtual classrooms to continue the courses. With AddPro's help, a fast and efficient solution was created that was easy for both students and educators to handle. - We wanted a solution that did not require any cumbersome software installations on our students' computers. Because the conversion went so fast, it was important to us that it would be easy for the users. We switched the technology we procured for our two digital classrooms to work for all the school's lessons, says Peter Hampus, IT manager at Nackademin. Higher presence at a distance The polytechnic's practical elements have also been able to continue digitally, with the help of virtual desktops created by AddPro. Through these, students gain access to the school computers' software from a distance. The response from users has been positive and many students have contacted us to talk about how well distance education works. Another thing Nackademin noticed as a result of the change is an increased presence. - It is fun to see that more students can attend the lessons when it is conducted online. As we are a polytechnic, we have no compulsory attendance, but we have seen a connection between attendance and who receives approved grades. It is still too early to say whether the proportion of approved students will increase, but we are waiting with excitement to see the results, says Peter Hampus. Will continue with more courses online Experience has changed Nackademin's view of digital teaching, as a much larger part of the teaching than they first expected has been shown to be managed digitally. Everything from digital classrooms, group rooms and virtual desktops has worked without problems and the consultants that AddPro had on site at Nackademin, to be able to help if problems should arise, only needed to be there for three days instead of the two weeks first planned. When the period of social distancing is over, Nackademin will in all probability continue to offer a larger proportion of its courses online. - We believe that society as a whole will take a leap forward after this and more and more work will be handled from home with digital means. Our task as a polytechnic is to prepare our students for working life. That then already during the training learn to work from home feels right, Peter Hampus concludes. 1994 Founded 27 YH educations 20 year Of proximity to business AddPro Sales solutions@addpro.se 040 59 24 00 Hyllie Vattenparksgata 12 C Outdoor promotion European engine We know application and Cloud Services Every system in the right place!
