Blue Jeans for Education

Use of technology within the education industry is rapidly advancing the effectiveness of knowledge transfer and collaboration. From interactive classrooms to on-the-go field trips, professor collaboration groups to student study groups, Blue Jeans is enabling virtual learning to finally become a ubiquitous educational experience.

The benefits of Blue Jeans' video conferencing service are clear:

Learning Enrichment and Improved Collaboration for Faculty:

• Augmented lectures. Guest lecturers and subject matter experts in remote locations can share their wisdom in more than one classroom at a time by connecting to individual students, entire lecture halls or multiple campuses using Blue Jeans. Instructors traveling abroad can enlighten students with live walking tours of museums, using their video-enabled mobile devices while students ask questions in the classroom and at home.
• Research Collaboration. Professors and Ph.D. candidates involved in developing research and collaborating with colleagues can all meet with Blue Jeans using their school’s video-conferencing room or other video-enabled devices, without worrying about which system or service international counterparts may be connecting through. Blue Jeans merges all popular endpoints for a seamless and secure connection, anywhere in the world.

Improved Efficiency for Administrative Staff:

• Global career services. The power of a good education includes the ability to provide graduating students with a jump-start on their career. With Blue Jeans, company interviews, alumni conversations and recruiting interactions can happen in the cloud in group or individual sessions, regardless of location. Best of all, video conferencing with Blue Jeans works with any video-enabled device, across any network, creating an important connection for graduating students beginning their career search. 
• Efficient, cost-effective meetings. Education professionals’ days are jam-packed, and a meeting that might be convenient for you may be impossible for colleagues across town or across the globe. Blue Jeans helps you make more efficient use of your time by connecting you with colleagues, wherever they are, on devices that suit everyone. Best of all, Blue Jeans is easy to use and is just as affordable as audio conferencing.
• Admission Interviews. Attracting top-tier candidates to represent your school is a competitive business. Admissions staff and alumni must spend their time driving long distances to prospective candidates’ homes for meetings. Candidates must visit the campus facility for various admissions meetings, tours or admissions events. Now, admissions staff, faculty, and student ambassadors can meet prospective candidates in the cloud with Blue Jeans video conferencing, benefiting everyone involved in the process:

✔ The applicant experiences various viewpoints of the school’s culture in a single video conference session so they can make a more informed decision about the institution.

✔ The school can easily involve broader and more diverse resources in the candidate interview process, allowing for a better assessment of the prospective candidate.

✔ The IT team needn’t be involved or worried about hosting complex video conferencing meetings or incompatible network connections. Blue Jeans supports the most popular consumer video applications, such as Skype and Google, and enterprise room systems, like Cisco and Polycom.

Blue Jeans is the most interoperable solution on the market today, enabling you to connect with the largest variety of enterprise and consumer video endpoints without any expensive add-ons.  Cloud-based Blue Jeans offers you unprecedented flexibility, scalability, security and service.
