In the last two weeks, we have transformed much of how we teach, learn, and work. We wanted to share some interesting numbers around how our community has made this change.
During the week of March 23rd, the Clark Community…
- Participated in over 2,600 unique online meetings totaling over 13,500 person-hours (a two hour meeting with five people would be 10 person-hours)
- Read over 20% more email than an average spring semester week
- Increased the utilization of Moodle over 50%
- Added over 500 videos to Panopto and viewed almost 2,000 hours of video
- Increased the utilization of our VPN over 600% across 400 unique daily users
Across the globe, we’ve seen Zoom grow from 10 million daily meeting participants in December to over 200 million today. Microsoft Teams saw in a growth rate of over 500% worldwide virtually overnight.
Finally, all of us in ITS would like to thank you for your continued focus on information security, as well as your patience and willingness to adapt to new processes and technology in this unprecedented time. Our rapid adoption of products like Zoom and Teams, as well as adapting how we all learn, teach, and work was only possible with our shared commitment to doing whatever was needed to make it happen.
We have not only adapted to our world today, but we’re learning new things we’ll carry forward well after the history of COVID-19 is written.
