The American University of Cairo’s sprawling campus spans 260 acres, with a diverse community of nearly 7,000 students from 70 countries working toward a liberal arts education. As part of AUC’s mission to provide state-of-the-art facilities for advanced research, innovative teaching, and lifelong learning, the in-house AV and IT teams came together to address a common challenge in the higher education community: how to effectively bring the physical and the remote together.
“We call it dual delivery,” said Amir Gamal, associate director for IT Academic Support Services. “Like most universities, we wanted to develop a permanent model where the instructor can teach classes to students both on and off-campus, and bridge the physical and remote divide.”
