All-In-One Benefits Concept Evaluation Pros Setup
Storage
Because it is an all-in-one system, it does not Cons require any initial set-up, however the system should be “opened” in the morning, and “closed” and locked during the night.
Use
The system empowers the students to learn on their own by permanently displaying instructions and facilitates interactions between instructors and students.
Storage
Because it is an all-in-one system, it is a storage unit on it’s own that can be securely closed and locked up during the night.
