Top Four Challenges in Learning
Legrand | AV understands the challenges that class tech managers face with providing educators with flexible environments that can be modified to meet requirements that can differ by the hour. This is true for K-12 through higher education spaces. There are ways to improve the experience, especially with new funding available as part of the CARES Act, CRRSA Act and ARP Act stimulus packages.
These are the top four classroom challenges that can be solved with AV solutions funded by the ESF. Each of these solutions are authorized under the new funding sources, but this is just a small list of ways that we can help you upgrade your institution’s education experience:
1. CLASSROOM CONTENT VISIBILITY LIMITATIONS - SCREENS
CHALLENGE: Average classroom displays are 65” or smaller, requiring students to remain close to one another in order to view the content.
SOLVING CLASSROOM SOCIAL DISTANCING CHALLENGES WITH A PROJECTION SCREEN
SOLUTION: Go bigger! Upgrade and install a >110” projection screen so the students can sit comfortably spaced apart and still be able to see the content.
The Tensioned Advantage Series screens are a good place to start!

2. HYBRID & HYFLEX LEARNING TECHNOLOGY – VIDEO & AUDIO
SOLVING DISTANCE LEARNING TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES WITH PROFESSIONAL VIDEO
CHALLENGE: By now, teachers have discovered the limitations of their built-in laptop cameras and audio devices. While super cost effective, this seriously restricts the amount of movement and engagement with the students. The laptop needs to be physically moved in the room to show display content and keep instructors on video at the same time as well as continue to be within range of the laptop microphone. These distractions hurt the learning process.
SOLUTION: Give the gift of movement! Upgrade with a professional camera system that provides preset capabilities to switch seamlessly between content and other locations within the room. Add professional microphones so remote students can hear clean, precise audio and vice versa. Even better, an ePTZ camera can do the auto-tracking work so instructors can feel free to ignore whether they are in the camera’s view and focus on the content.

3. KEEPING STUDENTS ENGAGED
SEE OUR INTERACTIVE CLASSROOM SOLUTION
CHALLENGE: Sharing content with only a laptop becomes a one-to-many conversation. While suitable for many presentations, students are limited in their ability to learn from one another
SOLUTION: Invest in tools that weave together remote and on-site teams for shared learning like an interactive dry erase screen and interactive projector. (An interactive flat panel with cart also works!) This technology allows teachers and students to share content and interact to transform the presentation from static to engaging.

4. MULTIPLE DEVICE FLEXIBILITY
SOLVING CONNECTIVITY CHALLENGES WITH A DOCKING STATION
CHALLENGE: Hybrid learning environments for teachers and students means a lot of back and forth with a multitude of devices. Reconnecting a laptop in the classroom and at home and connecting to extended monitors is a challenge and can eat up valuable class time.
SOLUTION: Make it plug and play! Docking stations allow multiple devices to connect to one another with a single cable. They also allow different content on multiple monitors.
