In this case study, we dive into the partnership between 2U, Inc. and terptree, showcasing how they’ve made strides in accessibility for their boot camp product line. When the Accessibility & Accommodations Team at 2U needed virtual BSL interpreting support, they turned to terptree to provide real-time interpreting during live Zoom sessions.

With a quick and easy onboarding process, terptree’s responsive staff ensured that students received the interpreting accommodations they needed. Their collaborative approach not only streamlined registration and interpreter assignments but also made sure interpreters were well-prepared for each session.

This case study highlights how terptree has become an essential partner in enhancing the learning experience for students with accommodation needs, and why 2U wholeheartedly recommends their services.
