3. How does Khoros help you deliver results beyond what a team your size normally can do?
The Khoros community platform helps us take our campus in Rexburg, Idaho, to our online instructors throughout the United States. Through the community, instructors feel connected to their colleagues, the university, and their work responsibilities in ways that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
