Collaboration and Streaming
Instruction is shifting away from lecture toward collaborative learning, where students gather in small groups to solve problems and perform tasks that begin with facts and ideas and progress to applications. Learning spaces configured into pods equipped with AV systems that allow students to easily share content from BYOD laptops, tablets, and smartphones enable collaborative learning. Students can share with their immediate group on a pod display, or the instructor can send the content from a pod to a large screen at the front of the classroom to share good ideas with the entire class. Extron ShareLink® Pro 2500 and ShareLink Pro 2000 presentation systems are specifically aimed at satisfying collaborative learning needs. Augmenting these are a variety of products to store, extend, and stream the content that collaboration spaces need to share beyond their boundaries.
“”Thanks to Extron’s innovative TouchLink® Pro and eBUS® solutions, we were able to create one large control program for University of West England’s collaboration classroom that is shared among two GUI interfaces, 12 button panels, and two switches with the control processor built into the IN1608 xi switcher.”

“The flexibility of online and classroom instruction, combined with our high-quality programs and the affordable nature of a community college, is what has made the dream of a college degree a reality for so many people. Using Extron digital switching, recording/streaming and IPCP Pro Series control products across campus helps us live up to our slogan of having Tomorrow’s College Today.”

“”Milgard Hall landed on the drawing board at just the right time. We took everything we’d learned while upgrading the AV systems in the historic existing buildings on the Tacoma campus and applied all of that experience to this brand-new teaching facility. Modern Extron AV systems deliver the collaborative capabilities that were one of the key design goals for this unique and beautiful structure. We’re pretty excited about the way it turned out.”
