Realview Client Among the Web's Most Searched College's

2011 // June

American University (AU) is one of the nation's most searched colleges online, according to Higher Ed Expo.

The Washington D.C. based university placed third overall in online queries powered by search engine Google, beating out such luminaries as Harvard University.

A significant reason for interest in AU is its Virtual Campus Experience (VCE) - "Discover AU", which was created in cooperation with Realview TV.

The VCE incorporates a number of interactive features powering a series of student stories and favorite spots. One innovative tool, a 3D interactive campus map, allows online visitors to learn about the school's culture and sights.

"We're delighted to see that American University is getting incredible results from its Virtual Campus Experience," said Courtney Cable, vice president of Realview TV's education channel. "The approach, vision and work that went into the original project as well as the updates continue to pay off in a big way." Cable believes the interactive nature of the VCE, a key undertaking in all the company's projects, has particular appeal to the Millennial Generation of prospective students.
