Legrand | AV is excited to be able to help higher education spaces adjust to the new normal. As campuses around the country are working out the bugs of distance or hybrid education, they will have much more insight as to what’s worked so far and what could be done better through AV technology.
The potential of a second round of funding for education upgrades like the CARES Act increases the opportunity for AV integrators to be able to provide needed services to keep campuses safe and aware of any public health directives that need to be followed.
Today Legrand | AV invites you to take a campus tour to see what’s trending from an AV point of view. This campus map infographic is loaded with helpful tips, equipment recommendations and plenty of downloads. Here’s a preview of what you’ll see.
Hybrid Learning
One of the new trends these days is the hybrid learning approach, where course work is a blend of in-person learning and online learning. A small classroom might be equipped for live streaming and/or video conferencing with a PTZ camera, a couple of overhead microphones, and a confidence monitor so the instructor knows exactly what content is being shared with the students at all times.
Bye Bye Office, Hello Recording Studio
Mini broadcasting studios set up on campus offer instructors, presidents or deans a location to produce professional live streaming or to record their lectures.
E-sports
Since 2015, many colleges have started gaming teams, and the popularity of e-sports continues to grow. Legrand | AV offers screens, display mounts, live streaming equipment, PTZ cameras – everything needed to get set up for e-sports.
Digital Signage
Digital signage has proven to be a vital solution to convey dynamic messaging. Prior to this pandemic, digital signage was often seen as a solution focused solely on the customer experience; now it’s become an integral part of operations, expanding its role to include safety procedures, traffic direction, customer ordering, and more.
Portable Video Conferencing
Student unions or libraries equipped with video conferencing solutions in group study rooms are ideal for on-campus students to collaborate with off-campus classmates.
Science Labs
Whether it’s a biology or chemistry lab, or even a lab for teaching culinary arts, students need to be able to see what’s going on. PTZ cameras strategically placed over the work areas plus display monitors and live streaming capabilities ensure that all students have a clear view.
When it Doubt, Lend it Out
Having several mobile live streaming carts in your campus AV lending library is a great option because they’re easy to move, easy to use, and provide a great solution for faculty members who want to deliver a polished presentation.
