Virtual Campus Tours
Virtual Campus Tours has been an item on our team's todo list since we started the list, and I am requesting feedback from members of the uwebd community that have completed such a project for a university. It is my intention to use these responses to answer some of the open questions with this todo item.
Please provide feedback on the following questions:
- Does your university have a virtual campus tour?
- If so, can you provide a link to the tour?
- Did you use an external vendor to create the virtual campus tour?
- If so, may you share the name of the external vendor?
- Does your virtual campus tour support mobile devices?
- If so,
- How much mobile traffic does the tour receive?
- Does the display of the tour change for the mobile device?
- Any feedback, suggestions, lessons learned from releasing and maintaining a virtual campus tour?
Thank you for taking the time to read, and hopefully reply to this discussion topic.

<vendor>Riley, happy to talk, in a non-salesy way, about anything you want regarding virtual tours. You can drop us a line at nucloud.com, or email me directly at michael@nucloud.com. I've looked at a ton of schools and how they go about it, and can probably give you some insight from vendor platforms, to Google, to device compatibility, etc.</vendor>

Ultimately i would like this software to management faculty office interms of when resources can be removed from a particular office and when a new faculty member can be moved in with the necessary resources. This tool should have notifications and alerts so there are no conflicts with someone being removed from a office and someone being placed in a office. Does anyone…See More
