One of the biggest impacts has been on the education industry where schools/colleges/universities have been shut until the situation improves. That has led to universities finding new ways to deliver their sessions, lectures, ceremonies, etc.
United Arab Emirates University’s Virtual Graduation Ceremony
United Arab Emirates University, the oldest & popular university in UAE recently conducted its 40th annual graduation ceremony and the highlight of this ceremony was that it was conducted VIRTUALLY.
We might wonder how can you organize such a ceremony virtually or how did the people participate or the students participated in it?
Well! they created a live stream where a host, performers, speakers, etc. were connected through live stream video. Here’s a list of events that took place in the virtual graduation ceremony.
The Challenge and It’s Solution
Challenge is how do you reach a wider audience and more importantly, allow them to interact, engage, & experience it during the virtual event.
This is where the Social Walls Ticker came into action.
UAEU embedded its live stream on its website and used social wall ticker to display the live posts shared by the audience, students, and other users on Instagram & Twitter.
Firstly, they created 2 social media feeds where one was being displayed as ticker along with live streaming display, and the 2nd was embedded in the website as a social media widget on the ceremony landing page.
They created their unique hashtags for the graduation ceremony – #UAEU_VIRTUAL_GRADUATION_CEREMONY_40
#حفل_تخريج_افتراضي_لجامعة_الإمارات_40
Now, we helped them to collect & curate all the posts shared in real-time on Instagram & Twitter around these hashtags into a social media feed.
