107: Sean Kalaras and Jared Mukai of Pepperdine University Discuss the 166 Room Upgrade Featuring Panasonic PTZ Cameras

The holiday wish list came early for Sean Kalaras, Senior Client Technology Analyst, and Jared Mukai, Manager of AV Technologies & Special Projects, at Pepperdine University, as they upgraded 166 classrooms with EduFLEX, a hybrid classroom technology solution featuring Panasonic AW-HE38H PTZ Cameras in response to COVID and the need for hybrid learning. As noted in their Case Study: Together with ClearTech, Altadena, CA, one of the University’s preferred AV technology providers, Pepperdine deployed the hybrid IP-based solution with Panasonic’s PTZ cameras in 166 classrooms across its five Southern California campuses to support distance learning for its graduate and undergraduate community. Professional video technology played a big part in the University’s solution to ensure its professors had the tools needed to teach online with their pedagogy, despite not having students physically in the classroom. Pepperdine’s faculty and students use the Zoom video conferencing platform for virtual classrooms and hybrid online courses.” Take a listen as we discuss this process with Sean and Jared.Connect with Sean Kalaras and Jared Mukai on LinkedIn.
