2023: Translating online communications to the Webinar platform

Kazan Federal University (KFU) translated all online communications into. Webinar platform The platform developer announced this on August 30, 2023. The need for urgent implementation of the solution arose after the sudden disconnection of the university from all services of the company, Microsoft including in MS Teams August 2023. The platform will become the main tool for online interaction at the university and will be used for all types of communications. For example, with the help of Webinar, the university plans to hold online conferences, including domestic, interregional and international ones. The implementation of the solution took no more than a week.

Webinar is a platform for all types of online communications, training and collaboration that includes the MTS digital ecosystem. Thanks to it, KFU will be able not only to conduct classes in an online and hybrid format, but also to increase student engagement using interactive tools: online boards, polls, votes. The service also allows automatic analysis of student attendance and performance. And during international events, the university will have access to simultaneous translation for foreign participants.

We at KFU have been testing the Russian software since the beginning of the year and planned to implement it gradually. However, the disconnection from Microsoft services forced us to shorten the transition period, and by the beginning of the school year we already have access to all the necessary features of the Webinar platform. Thanks to Webinar Group, we managed to maintain continuity of work processes. We are confident that in the future the solution will help us in the implementation of a variety of projects online, "said Dmitry Pashin, Vice-Rector for Digital Transformation and Innovation at KFU.
