How do you run information days that cannot physically take place due to coronavirus restrictions? The University of Bern had to face this question in 2020. Together with Habegger, a suitable solution was found: the two-day information event on the Bachelor’s degree programmes was spontaneously moved to the virtual world.
A virtual image of the university building was created for this purpose. Potential students could log on to this platform from the comfort of their own homes and explore the university campus on a 360° tour. Lecturers, who were connected via Zoom, provided information on the respective degree programmes and answered questions in chat rooms. Pre-produced videos with current students gave an insight into everyday campus life.
The Habegger team accompanied the project from the initial idea to the programming and design of the digital platform and its successful implementation.
