Saba real-time collaboration combines world-class Web and video conferencing with innovative business social networking to drive real-time and social collaboration.

Embry-Riddle is using its HD VoIP capabilities and multiple simultaneous video streams to hold engaging live and interactive classrooms for over 27,000 students across its extensive network of 150 campuses in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.

Key benefits include

• higher enrolment
• increased student participation with more students, staff, and faculty collaborating and learning on the go, via iPad or iPhone
• more interactive, aligned, and engaged staff through enhanced virtual training and collaboration
• savings of approximately $55,000 in faculty travel expenses.

"One of Embry-Riddle's biggest challenges has been to support its extensive network of small outlying campuses. Many times, we would not receive enough students registering for courses catered to specific learning needs to justify the cost of the instructors", says Becky Vasquez, Embry-Riddle's Chief Technology Officer. "The Saba People Cloud has addressed this challenge and has helped our university to open more classes for students wishing to learn with a diverse curriculum."

Karen Steele, Saba's senior vice president of corporate marketing adds, "The Saba People Cloud is enabling Embry-Riddle University to create high-impact learning programs for its students on a global scale. Through its use of Saba's Real-time Collaboration, Embry-Riddle University is fostering a more connected, collaborative environment that is helping to transform the experience for learning across the University."
