Echo360 Navigation
Echo360 is a learning transformation platform and system that allows faculty at Nazareth University to record and livestream video lectures for students to view online at any time. Using Echo360, you can access previous and live class sessions, should your instructor choose to use the service. If your instructor has enabled live-streaming of class sessions through Echo360, these instructions outline the basic access process for students.
Echo360's EchoVideo: Getting Students Started page is a great resource for learning about how Echo360 works for students. Below is some of the more important information from that site.
Note: Google Chrome is the recommended web browser for accessing Echo360, as its functionality can be impacted by the use of other web browsers.
