At Channel Partners 2025, Robert Serretti shares how immersive collaboration spaces drive stickier solutions for partners “We really see the channel as the best way to go to market. Once partners experience the platform, the ideas start to pop.” Robert Serretti, CTO, TeleSpeak LAS VEGAS, NV – Channel Partners Conference 2025 – As hybrid work becomes the norm, collaboration tools are evolving to meet the moment. One company embracing this shift with immersive technology is TeleSpeak, a software development firm that offers Office Anywhere, a virtual, persistent workspace designed to replicate the energy and spontaneity of a physical office environment—without the commute. Robert Serretti, TeleSpeak's CTO, joined Technology Reseller News to explain how Office Anywhere is redefining what it means to "show up" to work in a hybrid world. From Zoom Fatigue to Persistent Presence Office Anywhere isn't just another video conferencing app. Instead, it creates a visually immersive digital office, complete with rooms, desks, doors to knock on, and the feeling that colleagues are just down the hall. “If you're in the office and your co-worker's door is open, you pop in. If it's closed, you knock. We replicate that virtually,” said Serretti. “It combats the isolation many remote workers feel and fosters real connection.” The platform integrates seamlessly with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, AWS Chime, and leading CCaaS and UCaaS systems, including Salesforce, Genesys, HubSpot, and others. Designed for Contact Centers, Classrooms, and Creatives Office Anywhere offers vertical-specific spaces: Contact Centers with call flows and integrations Virtual Classrooms for education providers Custom Spaces, from corporate HQs to Millennial Falcon-themed hubs Built-in assets like SIP phones and CRM dashboards allow users to work inside familiar systems—just within an immersive, collaborative space. A Sticky, Monetizable Opportunity for Channel Partners TeleSpeak is channel-first. For MSPs, agents, and solution providers, the platform offers: 25% recurring commission Free use of the platform for partner orgs Custom-branded, immersive demo environments Flexible price points for SMB, mid-market, and enterprise Pricing starts at $95/month for up to 10 users, scaling to custom deployments for large teams. “It's sticky,” Serretti emphasized. “Because it layers on top of existing platforms—CCaaS, VoIP, CRM—it enhances what partners already sell.” TeleSpeak is actively onboarding new partners. Visit telespeak.net to see a live demo and explore the platform. Interested partners can contact Robert Serretti directly at roberts@telespeak.net. As Serretti noted, “Once people use it, they start to see the possibilities.”

I'm not sure about you, but I did not get a lot of training in self-management when I was a graduate student (but cut me some slack... I was in an EAB program!). If you're in the same boat as I am, then you're in luck.

Host Jaime sits down with Christian Cardona, Social Media Manager for ODU Global, to explore the unique challenges and opportunities in managing social media for online learners. As a first-time attendee at the AMA conference, Christian shares his reflections, dives into strategies for building digital communities, and highlights the critical role of storytelling in fostering engagement among non-traditional students. This engaging conversation sheds light on how social media can effectively amplify the experiences of online learners, even when separated by distance.Key TakeawaysStorytelling is essential: Highlighting faculty, student, and alumni stories builds trust, community, and enhances a school's brand identity.Challenges of online communities: Unlike traditional campuses, finding and amplifying student stories in an online program requires proactive effort, leveraging tools like social media comments and team collaborations.Engagement matters: Online learners often engage through platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram, with their feedback and stories forming the backbone of digital content.Team collaboration is key: Remote teams thrive with structured communication, fun interactions, and occasional in-person gatherings.Online learning spaces must reflect reality: Content for online programs should showcase students' environments, from their homes to workplaces, emphasizing authentic day-to-day learning experiences.What's it like to manage social media for online learners? Christian Cardona shares his experience transitioning from managing on-campus social media to leading ODU Global's online initiatives. Unlike in-person campuses where engagement happens naturally through visible activities, building connections online requires strategic outreach. Christian emphasizes the importance of storytelling—gathering insights from faculty, staff, and even comments on social media posts to highlight students' unique journeys.How do you foster community for online learners? Creating a sense of belonging for online students hinges on meaningful interactions. Christian notes that online learners often leave valuable feedback through social media posts, which helps identify standout individuals. By focusing on personal, relatable stories, the ODU Global team uses platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn to drive engagement and foster a supportive digital community.What's the secret to a successful remote team? Christian highlights the importance of structured communication within his fully remote team. Tools like team chat platforms and weekly collaborative meetings maintain a sense of connection. A yearly in-person gathering helps solidify bonds and offers an opportunity to brainstorm collectively. Even in a digital-first world, these personal connections translate into better storytelling and collaboration.How do you create engaging content for online programs? For online learners, showcasing relatable moments—like studying at home or thriving in a career—is critical. Christian's team works across photography, videography, and graphic design to tell stories that resonate. The goal is to depict the authentic realities of online learning, making the experience tangible for prospective students. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Jaime Hunthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimehunt/https://twitter.com/JaimeHuntIMCAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

By now, practically everyone who has a connection to academia has heard that the traditional audience for higher education is headed for a demographic cliff. In response, colleges and universities are exploring ways to attract an older audience of degree completers and life-long learners to bridge the gap. But who counts as an adult learner, and how do we retain them once we have their attention?School isn't the central hub of a non-traditional student's life; rather, school is one of many spokes on a very full wheel.  To attract and retain this audience of students requires a willingness to stop expecting that, once admitted and formally welcomed, they will adjust to meet the campus status quo.  True inclusiveness means designing and delivering courses, programs, and services that fit into their lives, instead of expecting them to rearrange their lives and schedules to fit the rhythms of a campus they may never visit.But how do we tailor educational offerings so they are not one-size-fits-all?

Educators who are engaged in online teaching are, at some point, going to hear the words "quality matters."  At first mentioned, this seems self-evident. As educators, we understand that the quality of our course design content and delivery is important for learners to have a productive and hopefully optimal learning experience. No one would argue with that. But that is small case quality matters; the myriad initiatives we take upon ourselves to continuously improve outcomes.  There's also capital letter Quality Matters™, which is often abbreviated to the trademarked QM™. This Quality Matters™ refers to a very specific certification process for online and hybrid courses. In this Wired Ivy Office Hours explainer, Dan takes listeners through some of the history, ambitions, and critiques of this standard rubric for online course design.

Impact of Educational Leadership Episode 111 Hosted by: I. D. III for Isaiah Drone III Panelist: Delna Bryan World Languages In The Virtual Classroom Why is it so important that school leaders should understand both the benefits and the misfortunes of applying principles of Universal Instructional Design in teaching world languages on the postsecondary level? Historically, language education Reformers worked in the wake of the Romantics, and they were deeply influenced by their love of popular culture and dialects and the speech of the common people. And by some sort of transitive relationship, this love of popular culture and dialect study was, in turn, a shot in the arm for the study of living languages (and thus of phonetics) and associated (sub)cultures. Today, we must keep in mind that these various approaches to language teaching, as well as current research on second language acquisition, focusing especially on communicative language teaching. This is followed by practical suggestions for improving classroom practice to meet the needs of all students with diverse learning styles, including those with physical and learning disabilities. Delna Bryan: Some of our students in grades K-12 may be directly impacted by COVID-19 illness themselves, or they may be providing care for a family member sick with COVID. Students in these circumstances may reach out to you for flexibility with class requirements. What are some behaviors that you noticed from your high-performing students during the Remote Learning at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic? Delna Bryan: Why should school leadership strategies focus on curriculums to access new resources for children in low SES communities who share the same interest or passion? Delna Bryan: Would you address microaggressions concerning world language studies in discussion boards, chats, and other places where students interact? Also, please make the listening audience aware of how the current situation is impacting different communities. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/isaiah-drone-iii/support

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Intellispark.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.The concept of empathy has been well explored in many educational circles. The colloquialism, “walk a mile in my shoes,” is a concept which many teachers embrace. Educators strive to take on the perspectives of their students in order to create connections and develop lessons that are engaging; however, as the world of young people becomes increasingly complex due to current events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, enacting empathy may present a difficulty.For an educator who hopes to see all students succeed and wishes to prepare students for future success, empathy is not optional. The most perfectly designed lesson delivered with impeccable pedagogical execution will not reach students if they are disconnected. Student engagement depends on students' relationships with their teachers more than ever. The key to building strong relationships is the ability of the educator to know individual students on an authentic level. This means developing an understanding of student culture, home environment, interests, and values outside of the classroom. Educators also must explore learning preferences, strengths, and challenges within the classroom. Getting to know students on this level may sound like an insurmountable task. In this edWeb podcast, we discuss a range of strategies that offer opportunities for success.This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders focused on student support services, school counselors, school psychologists, and school social workers.Intellispark We aim to improve how schools and communities support all students.

Virtual CAN BE just as engaging and beneficial as in-person...if we design and deliver content in a meaningful way. Our world shifted overnight from in-person to virtual, including the way we learn. It's possible you spent your entire teaching career in the classroom - you knew your syllabus by heart, you knew the way your students learned, and you knew how to keep them engaged. And now you are having to unlearn what you knew and relearn a new reality. But how could you possibly have time to unlearn and relearn when you are navigating the pandemic, your personal life, and making every effort to ensure your students are safe. Maybe little direction, or even no direction, has been given to you for best practices or tips & tricks.

As the new normal of working from home actually begins to feel a bit more normal, it may be time to make our digital classrooms feel a little bit more like the home away from home our physical classrooms have always been. So many teachers pride themselves on making their classrooms a comfortable, welcoming space, full of personality, and inspiration. But can we say the same for our virtual classrooms? Though this may have been overlooked when the sudden transition to remote learning occurred, now that it seems likely that many schools will be settling into distance learning for an extended time, potentially even ending the year in this way, we can turn our attention to the small ways that we can make our online classrooms replicate the physical ones we left behind. Whether these customizations help you infuse a bit of your personality as a reminder to your students that you truly are there on the other side of the screen, instill a little humor or positivity to help brighten a tough time, or create motivation when it could be lacking, this effort helps make the continuation of learning feel like a true extension of the classroom you and your students have developed all year.

Danielle & Nicole are here to discuss their favorite topic - virtual summits! Whether you're curious about the behind the scenes end of creating a the #totalteachersummit or you're seriously considering implementing a virtual summit in your classroom this school year, Danielle & Nicole are here to walk you through the "How-To" of virtual summit creation. When you listen to episode 46 you know why a virtual classroom meet-up is worthwhile, and today we're building on that point, bringing you the how. In just 9 easy steps, we break down questions to ask yourself, factors to consider, and potential roadblocks to look out for. Step 1: Pick a unit that makes sense to host as a virtual summit What unit is so large in scope that you always feel like you just scratch the surface with how you traditionally cover it? (Nothing comes to mind? In episode #18, we talked about how to teach topics you can't stand— this very well might be one of them) Step 2: Select what students will be responsible for in terms of creating the virtual summit. Think outside just the presentation itself. Student autonomy is key! Name of Summit. You have the general topic/concept, but let students choose a name for more ownership and creativity. How can you make this happen— have students work in small groups to come up with their name and a pitch for why. Step 3: Craft a corresponding rubric or rubrics to use for each of the requirements students must meet Identify Common Core Standards you are looking to address What you'll probably want included for this rubric or to have separate rubrics for: Presentation— creativity, accuracy, understanding audience Networking/Engagement—how do they interact with others “in chat.” The quality and quantity of what is said, how it is said The “extras”— do students need to create a corresponding PowerPoint for their talk? Do they need to create a virtual or physical thumbnail display of their talk Step 4: Decide what technology you need to use to make this happen. When will students be viewing the presentations? How will they give their feedback? Step 5: Determine how to model the concept and any related technology in your classroom Don't assume students know how to use a particular piece of technology. Time will probably need to be built in for students to learn this. Do students need to edit their videos? Upload them? These small logistics are things that can cause a lot of problems come the due date if you don't plan for it as students are unlikely to know what they don't know Step 6: Get students HYPED Step 7: Decide what students will need extra support with to create their virtual summit and select how much class time to devote to it Step 8: How can the summit live on/be shared with others? Grab our bulletin board print outs and utilize QR codes Use Class Dojo to share with parents Step 9: Reflection to help you iterate Build-in time for you and your students to reflect on the project, stay organized, student growth and ownership, make it even smoother next time or for next year
