MONTRÉAL, Oct. 8, 2020 /CNW/ -- X2O Media, global provider of virtual collaboration technology for education and enterprise, today announced the launch of its first installation of the X2O Virtual Classroom in Canada.

X2O Media, part of the STRATACACHE family of technology companies, collaborated with AV-integration partner CBCI Telecom, a trusted advisor of video conferencing solutions, to install a purpose-built hybrid virtual classroom that replicates the energy and one-to-one interaction of an in-class lecture.

The X2O Virtual Classroom allows the Executive Education faculty of experts to expand their curriculum and provide a highly engaging learning experience for participants located around the world. The result is a lecture that is collaborative, setting the stage for the dynamic exchanges of ideas for an enriching diversity of viewpoints comparable to a physical classroom.

Our participants have embraced the X2O platform as an effective way to provide an unparalleled learning experience."
