As the pandemic continues to cause interruptions to learning environments, Impact has curated a list of resources to assist Impact administrators. 

One of the first ever Impact customers, Saxion University has been using Impact since early 2011! They initially got on board because they found themselves explaining new LMS functionalities over and over to users, despite efforts to pre-emptively inform them. They decided they needed a more efficient way to communicate with their users, and Impact was going to facilitate that communication. 

Communicating online may seem like a simple task, but when attempting to connect with thousands of students, faculty, and staff, things can get a bit muddy. The question of how to best communicate has undoubtedly been on higher education administrators' minds for decades, especially during the current move to online learning. 

This is a special edition of our Impact blog, as today we're publishing a guest blog post by Dr. Sean Hauze, Director of Instructional Technology Services at San Diego State University.

With the fall semester quickly coming to a close, our minds (and messaging) are shifting towards how our institutions plan to approach the Spring 2021 semester. With COVID-19 continually changing what the Spring 2021 semester will bring, we have created a variety of campaigns to fit your campus needs—whether you are online, on-campus, or a combination of the two! 

As the COVID pandemic stretches on, institutions are considering continuing alternative formatting for course delivery for future semesters. Many universities are currently offering a variety of hybrid courses blending synchronous and asynchronous delivery. But what exactly is a hybrid class?

As the world responds to the next steps in the fight against COVID, colleges and universities are turning their eyes towards vaccination efforts.

There is light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel! Many colleges and universities are gearing up to reopen their campuses to students and faculty alike. While we are not out of the proverbial woods yet, Impact has support for whatever your re-opening strategy may be. 

While students and faculty are celebrating the beginning of summer break, Impact has already been hard at work creating campaigns to help you with your return to campus in Fall 2021! This post highlights some of the brand new campaigns available to make your transition as smooth as possible.
