RALEIGH, N.C. – Campbell Law School has tapped Citrix for lecture capture/recording, hosting, online collaboration and file sharing solutions for the entire law school community. The partnership includes workflow and communications cloud technology through Citrix-based ShareFile, Podio and GoToMeeting products.
“Legal technology is changing quickly and dramatically, and it’s critically important that we stay abreast of the changes,” said Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard. “Many of our students end up in solo firms or small firms. They’re looking for new and cutting-edge software that will let them do core legal work more effectively than they ever have before, but that will also let them run their business affairs, keep up with their accounts, stay in touch with their clients – all with an integrated system. In this vein, the Citrix solutions fit the bill.”
Campbell Law professors and students can now utilize Podio, a cloud-based collaboration tool, as a single, integrated environment to procure information in an accessible, integrated manner. Likewise, as Campbell Law offers students a flexible learning environment, GoToMeeting allows students to form group discussions and meetings from any location and device, as well as share notes, assignments and review work – all in a collaborative setting.
“Citrix is particularly excited about this innovative partnership, in that it includes shared feedback from both Campbell Law School faculty and Citrix staffers, who are acting as guest lecturers as well as serving as a technology resource for students,” said Citrix Workflow Cloud Business Development Senior Manager Bill O’Boyle. “We also look forward to leveraging other partnerships with key tech companies to help outfit Campbell Law School with the newest and most innovative technology for students – ultimately helping to prepare and arm them for the ever-growing mobile workplace.”
The combination of ShareFile and Podio software provides faculty and students a collaborative workspace where anyone can securely exchange, track and edit content from multiple devices and locations. Podio makes deadlines, responsibilities and goals clear for everyone – and they’re always up to date. With transparent, organized projects, students never need to slow other group members down to get a status update. Also, faculty have the oversight they need to see if everything’s on track. With the use of GoToMeeting, students can meet up offsite using a simple interface, where they can share their webcams in high definition, for more personal interactions to share notes, ideas and projects. This integrated and collaborative environment will ultimately help set up the next generation of lawyers to manage their future law practices.
