The implementation of the technology also presented AUBH Students with the opportunity to learn from anywhere, anytime.

Sameera Alatawi, Director of Information Technology, AUBH, commented: “The objective of the AUBH IT Department since our opening in September, is to extend the learning environment to be accessed anywhere and anytime, and to empower students and faculty equally to achieve more. We had the tools in place in September, so we were ready to take our learning fully online immediately and seamlessly.”
AUBH’s interational faculty has received in-depth training from the IT Directorate on how to get the best out of the technology, which can deliver online lectures and stream live events to up to 10,000 participants. The technology uses innovation such as digital whiteboards, session recording and real-time feedback, to ensure the learning experience is as immersive as possible when delivered off-site.
