EchoImpact Grants supporting instructors and researchers using Echo360 solutions to empirically improve learner outcomes.
-
EchoInnovation Grants providing software solutions to help teachers and trainers develop innovative practices that improve learning engagement.
Criteria for both grants are based on Echo360’s “e3” formula for inspired learning:

-
ENGAGEMENT: Demonstrating that everyone learns better when they are actively participating.

“My Echo360 grant is helping measure the influence that video-based, collaborative learning has on individual critical thinking skills,” said 2022 ImpactGrant winner Rukmani Kuppuswamia biology professor from Hill College. Matthew McElhenney of Hartnell Collegeanother 2022 grant winner, stated “Echo360 grant is helping me increase student access to asynchronous content. A lot of our students are economically challenged and do not have computers. My goal is to use EchoVideo to allow these students an easier way to access content on the go.”
