This is an even faster acceleration of digitization than the early days of the pandemic in the spring when content creation rose 230% compared with the previous year. The rapid growth is occurring globally. Content creation in the Americas has grown 767% year over year, while Europe is up by 848%, Asia is up by 930% and Australia is up by 293% during this same year-over-year period. As professors juggle their increasing workload, they are using more of their weekends to create asynchronous classes. Over the summer, professors uploaded six times more classroom content uploads to Panopto on Saturdays compared to the previous year. Sundays saw an increase of eight times more content uploads from last year. The number of professors working on weekends grew 463% this summer compared to last year.
