The movement toward informatization in education is continually being pursued. Also, students growing up in a technological world are eager for more immersive learning experiences and better education resources. VF&T’s Classroom Hub stands at the forefront of this movement, extending real classrooms to digital, virtual classrooms, bridging all kinds of gaps between teaching and learning. This solution overcomes a variety of challenges by offering digital teaching, remote learning, and multi-classroom instruction. The Classroom Hub Solution provides digital teaching tools responding to the new educational informatizations needs. All educational staff can enjoy more connectivity, engagement, and learning breakthroughs by using our smart teaching assistant, easy-to-use software, and collaboration of multiple applications.
In-class applications
Challenges
In conventional classrooms, teaching tools offer limited formats for writing, illustration, and other resources, which also makes learning very challenging for the students sitting in the back row or students with other learning difficulties. Moreover, classroom-bound teachers need a whole host of tools to create lessons, including chalk, markers, a projector, chalkboard or whiteboard, pointer, and so on. “Teaching” and “efficiency” do not commonly go together.
Inefficient teaching tools
Limited teaching materials
VF&T’s Interactive Flat Panel presents a new kind of intelligent teaching assistant. This digital teaching tool integrates the latest technologies in touch controls, high-definition display, video processing, network communications, interactivity, and audio features, with abundant third-party teaching resources available as well. Teachers can intuitively create digital instruction to boost the learning environment and experience, enjoying more interactivity with students.
BENEFITS
- Easy wireless projection from a smartphone, iPad, PC or Mac, sharing multimedia teaching materials across multiple teaching formats
- With flexible white board software, users will enjoy more powerful visual experiences than with a traditional blackboard
- Educators can explore more possibilities with the openness to third-party applications from Window or Android
FEATURES
- 150 mesh, ultra-fine sandblasting frame for an extraordinary user experience
- Filters out >60% ultrashort-wave blue light to protect eyes
- Supports up to 4 terminals projecting simultaneously via window splicing
- Up to 20-point IR touch sensitivity so several people can use the panel display at the same time
Remote learning
Challenges
Conventional PCs or cameras can only provide a fixed angle image, so students cannot truly engage in an immersive learning experience. Also, camera configuration is time-consuming and complicated, not to mention limited by the other technologies and hardware available in any given classroom or school.
Fixed angle image
Complicated camera configuration
Leveraging professional, AI-enabled teacher cameras * and our lightweight ClassIn software, this remote learning solution shares the class instruction instantly with remote students while maintaining the same engagement level. Students can enjoy high definition images from teacher and Interactive Flat Panel. Also, camera tracking and close-up shot can provide an immersing environment. With easy configuration and high compatibility, teachers and students can enjoy an exciting new path to a great education.
*Note: the teacher’s consent should be obtained before using the teacher camera.
BENEFITS
- With simple configuration, teachers can share teaching scenarios and related courseware in real time with students who are not in the classroom through VF&T’s ClassIn software installed on the interactive flat panel
- Captures and shares whiteboard content and teacher movement to ensure high engagement and intuitive learning environments
FEATURES
- Smooth view switching from teacher to whiteboard in excellent image quality – up to 1080p
- The open system offers full compatibility with mainstream conference software like Zoom, Webex, and more
- Two ready-made solutions can fit different scales and budgets
- Based on cost-effective solution, high-end solution can offer multi-camera POV and recording function to adapt large-scale and demanding scenarios
Multi-classroom learning
Challenges
Traditional approaches to education offer simple, unilateral content sharing without engagement. Teachers have difficulty gauging how students react to the lessons and how engaged they actually are. Even some excellent educational resources are scarce and difficult to share beyond the single, small classroom.
Unilateral teaching without engagement
Scarce and low utilization of excellent educational resources
Synchronized teaching and learning among multiple classrooms is now a reality. This multi-classroom learning solution enables a vastly increased breadth of opportunity, offering excellent teaching resources and allowing students in remote cities or classrooms to access the best educational content available. And teachers can take better care of every students’ feedback to achieve great engagement.
*Note: the teacher’s content should be obtained before using the teacher camera.
BENEFITS
- Teachers can notice all student’s feedback both in main and secondary classrooms to guarantee teaching quality and interactivity
- High-quality educational resources can be shared over long distances, allowing students in different areas to get the same level of educational resources
FEATURES
- The main classroom can interact with three secondary classrooms at the same time with ClassLink
- In addition to flexible teaching views, audio in the classroom, teaching materials, and annotations on the Interactive Flat Panel can also be synchronized to other classrooms in real time
Central management
Challenges
Many schools equip large amounts of interactive displays. Managing those devices one by one is time-consuming and highly complex, accompanied by a high margin for error. Therefore, operators are facing the hassles to configure all the devices efficiently and centrally.
Inefficiency with the absent of holistic management
Batch configuration of Interactive Flat Panels through the FocSign software makes the management and maintenance of a large number of devices super fast, really easy, and attractively convenient.
BENEFITS
- Administrators can remotely manage multiple Interactive Flat Panels in schools or educational groups at the same time. They can control parameter setting, information display, and rapid installation of applications, boosting administrative efficiency along with instruction.
FEATURES
- Supports remote shutdown, reboot, restore to factory defaults, and other functions to meet the school’s power saving and safety needs
- Supports the rapid delivery of short messages to multiple devices, and two information display modes to meet the needs of different scenarios
- One-click operation helps multiple devices install applications, making best use of precious classroom time
