Challenge
To link two campuses on two different continents in two different time zones to create one realistic classroom experience.
Solution
Having recently opened the School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Qatar), the first branch campus of the world-renowned Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown, the University implemented Polycom’s RPX system and HDX 9002 systems to better connect these physically distant campuses. Located in Doha, the capital of the Middle Eastern emirate of Qatar, Georgetown’s Qatar campus provides a 4-year undergraduate degree in international politics to students from the Middle East and around the world.
ResultA ‘global classroom’ based on an immersive telepresenceexperience that facilitates ‘natural’ collaboration betweenthe classrooms to bring students and teacher closer togetherin one, interactive, real-time experience.
Case Study
