Education: High Distinctions for Digital Signage
Whether it’s academia or extra-curricular, there is always something happening on campus that students need to know about. Digital signage provides an eye catching interface that will inform, entertain and facilitate the communication from traditional to new, young aged students. Think of it as the 21st century’s answer to the notice board (without all the messy papers and accommodation share notices).
If your learning center is a school, college, academy or university, increasing the relevance and efficacy of your internal communications will help to bring different aspects of the facility together. Use digital signage to showcase news from the faculties and highlight the achievements and projects that the teams are eager to share.
CampaignManager, the digital signage software from Ryarc, is one of the most flexible Digital Signage software platforms in the market. It can play a myriad of different media types, from a trusty old PowerPoint slide pack, to a High Definition recording of musical recitals or drama presentations. Digital signage helps showcase and recognise the efforts of students and staff, enhancing institutional motivation and helping to share knowledge.
Digital signage networks are also an excellent solution to niggling housekeeping matters. CampaignManager software provides excellent targeting capability; one can be as specific as one class or as broad as the entire campus, sending information to where it is needed. You can even schedule content that is time sensitive: a lunch time special at the cafeteria might play every Monday and Thursday at 12.30pm.
Because of CampaignManager’s extensible trigger model, you can even integrate the PC lab’s PC availability applications to display what PCs or other resources are available where in real time!
The sophisticated administrative functions allow different levels of access so that student body groups, as well as department heads, can publish content. Digital signage solutions are a great way to prevent the constant poster wars that take up wall space and clutter desks and notice boards.
Video on Demand
Digital signage screens in class rooms can be used to assist teaching or present important safety information. CampaignManager provides Video-On-Demand, where pre-loaded content can be accessed instantly and plays over scheduled campaigns when required.
Your CampaignManager digital signage installation can be as simple as a screen in the faculty bookstore, or as complicated as a distributed network around multiple campuses. While past generations have looked to print as a medium for information, Generation X and Y have grown up with TV and the web. Using CampaignManager is a great way to get across to the younger audience and take advantage of the screen-watching compulsion in today’s society.
