ORION has signed an agreement to enable Ontario’s research education institutions to access both Kaltura, a video experience cloud, and BlueJeans, a cloud-based video conferencing service. This is part of a national procurement agreement through Canada’s National Research and Education Network (NREN) to offer cloud– based video conferencing to all members of the NREN, including ORION constituents.
With the increased demand for online teaching and learning, Canada’s NREN Partners collectively identified the need for tools to simplify the experience for educators and students and offer a robust, low-cost, video tool tailored to the unique requirements of education. Kaltura and BlueJeans are two top-tier services designed to meet the unique needs of the education community, while providing security and safety to their connected users.
