Saba Centra for the Academic Enterprise

Academic institutions recognize the need for technology that will support a wide range of learning approaches to meet the needs of their students. From active, blended, hands-on, to self-paced and collaborative, different approaches help optimize the learning experience and result in better learning outcomes. In addition, academic institutions know that their students want leading-edge technology to support their learning experience. No longer does the traditional classroom meet the demands of the technically-savvy generation of learners, nor does it fit into the lives of adult learners enrolled in professional degree programs.

Saba Centra provides a dynamic synchronous and collaborative environment that engages students on and off campus. With Centra Live, students have a rich, interactive learning experience that can fit into their busy lives. Centra Live has a broad array of features, including:
