Insead uses Barco weConnect to support GO-Live education

Con GO-Live, powered by Barco weConnect, Insead has taken a distinctive approach to live virtual teaching.

Insead business school has launched GO-Live, a platform that helps executives continue their learning from anywhere in the world, using the Barco weConnect virtual classroom solution.

This move towards online training has been a logical progression for Insead. “We were pioneers in the adaptation of asynchronous virtual courses to a personalized corporate context”, explica Peter Zemsky, vicedecan, Dean of Innovation and Professor of Strategy and Innovation. “Now is the time for virtual executive education to go live”.

Con GO-Live, powered by weConnect, This multi-campus institution has taken a distinctive approach to live virtual teaching, following two main principles.

The first focuses on the student. “The student must be kept trained, active and engaged so that you are immersed in the experience, as if it were in person”, says Zemsky. “The other key principle is to allow teachers to use their skills to create magic in the classroom from a face-to-face world to a live virtual environment.”.

Barco solutions have been installed in four virtual classrooms and a collaboration room.

“The education sector is embracing digital transformation right now. The most forward-thinking educational institutions are using it to drive engagement and deliver courses in a way that fits into students' lives, meet your ever-increasing expectations and, what is more important, provide new and valuable sources of income to facilitate further growth”, commenta Jan van Houtte, vice president of Barco's Teaching and Learning division.
