Ensuring professors and students have the right resources is essential in creating a high-quality educational experience. In today’s age, that means equipping classrooms and campuses with interactive and engaging technology the modern student expects.
Implementing this technology creates numerous possibilities that can positively impact student learning and greatly benefit students and professors alike. It helps to open the doors to a broader world of learning and increases the spectrum of available knowledge.
By incorporating new or upgraded AV technology in the classroom, higher education institutions can enhance educational experiences with interactive and engaging technology that unlocks the potential of the learning environment. Keep reading to learn how the right AV technology can empower professors and inspire learning.
Create engaging learning environments
In the classroom, digital signs and screens can dramatically improve the way students learn and engage with new material. Today’s typical college student is a member of “Gen Z”—a young group of innovative students who are no stranger to technology. Keeping classrooms up to date with the latest digital integrations provides a comfortable arena for young minds to flourish while learning about new concepts and world views.
Make education more accessible
With video conferencing technology, students have the ability to connect to professors and other classmates virtually; they won’t miss out on a learning opportunity because of time or location. It’s also a great selling point for prospective students when choosing a college, as video conferencing presence on campus has been shown to increase applicants.
Connect with experts
With the help of AV technology, students can hear and see courses and lectures, directly from experts in their field. This gives students a unique way to get virtual ‘hands-on’ experience
for curricula that may require an in-field experience.
Provide immersive learning experiences
Virtual Reality (VR) is made possible in the classroom thanks to AV technology — and has the ability to reshape the future of education. VR can recreate in-person experiences, like a medical student observing a surgery, where students learn by doing and by reflecting on the experience. By engaging in immersive experiences and reflection, students are better able to connect what they learned in the classroom to real-world situations.
Prepare students for future careers
Today, prospective students are very aware of how proper technology training will affect their opportunities for post-grad employment. Implementing AV technology in the classroom directly
translates to their future workforce environments, and many students are making their choice of school based on how well a higher-ed institution answers this need.
