Switzerland - SWITCHAlong with our current web and video conference services based on Adobe Connect and Vidyo (hosted by CERN), we now offer Jitsi on SWITCHengines for Swiss Higher Education Institutions, to bridge the high demand of video and web conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What is more, we offer SWITCHdrive (for sharing and storing files), SWITCHcast (lecture recording) and SWITCHtube (video portal) and SWITCHfilesender (to send large files). In addition, we do have a very active e-learning community in Switzerland, called eduhub (https://www.eduhub.ch/), which we coordinate. We organise regular events together with the community, such as conferences, webinar and workshops, to foster exchange of experiences and best practices in e-learning and to support collaboration among Swiss Higher Education Institutions.
