Digital Signage in Schools

School is a place for innovation and creativity, and usually acts as an early-adopter of new technology. Replacing traditional static bulletin board is more than a need; it is a necessity. Dynamic digital signage networks allow schools to display instant multimedia content and manage it efficiently across campuses over Internet.

Digital signage, also named narrowcasting, can provide identical or different information to targeted audiences across campuses. It helps to differentiate school’s image, and utilizes advanced multimedia and network technologies to set up an internal information network for students, teachers, staff, and visitors.

Diversified Information Platform

At front gates, along corridors, beside stairs, and in front of elevators. Content displayed includes general school information and specific news and information to targeted audiences (teachers, students, visitors, or administrative staff), such as: announcement, school timetable, promotion of speeches, seminars, or activities, greetings and messages for guests, and the display of students’ multimedia (art) works.

Administrators can broadcast live seminars, sports games, and school ceremony to all displays within campuses. The content can also include interactive information, such as:

• campus guide (map, departments, and facilities).
• Outside conference rooms
• Content displayed includes daily occupancies, events, and current conference information (name, time, subject, etc.)
