Meet the Challenges of Higher Education

Changing Campus

In an era of digital transformation, no transaction was fast-tracked as dramatically as the pivot to remote and hybrid learning/teaching models. Better communication is not just about the classroom and remote learners.

Making the Most of Government Funding

Sony and CCS have made significant investments in expertise to help customers leverage money that are being allocated to every state. Some funds under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) give schools until 2024 to buy and install technology solutions. New funding goes beyond just enabling remote teaching and learning, and toward “a positive learning experience” that can be achieved with more and better AV solutions: hyflex solutions, tracking cameras, better displays, more intelligible audio, and more.

Best Practices

Many education facilities are met with challenges when faced with finding their way to delivery course materials while keeping students and facility engaged. Common questions include: How do you choose solutions with so many vendors offering so many products? Can I avoid the pain points associated with cobbling together display, video and audio solutions from random vendors?

Today’s best practices are about optimizing the entire AV ecosystem. The new approach goes way beyond just using a few digital screens – with poor audio intelligibility, and poor audio/video synchronization – coupled to mediocre webcams.

It’s about leveraging the latest audio and video advancements to enable better student and faculty engagement.

Digital Signage all Around the Campus

Do you need to communicate with students and facility when they are not in a classrooms? Communication today means taking your message where students and facility enter buildings, circulate, dine – anywhere they are on your campus.

From showcasing sports or entertainment events, to emergency announcements, in real time, to wayfinding and dining area messaging, pushing dynamic digital signage content throughout the campus is a must.

University tech managers and AV integrators need to understand the complete digital signage hardware and software solutions that suit the messaging needs of the school. Mounting random sources LCD panels in hallways and lobbies, then walking away, is no longer enough.
