Unique Functionality of the Room
This Collaborative Seminar Room is the first in the School to hold six Clevertouch Pro displays to facilitate student group work. The Clevertouch Pro’s run an Android operating system on which are a suite of applications that can support research and production – including a Lynx Pro digital whiteboard with paging and infinite canvas, and the ability for students to annotate over live multimedia and export those annotations directly to their devices.
Alongside this, students can use the free Clevershare application on their smartphone, tablet or laptop, to wirelessly mirror the screens of up to four devices simultaneously – thus facilitating a group research and production process. A wall mounted Control Panel allows the students to switch between the touchscreen display and the learning materials being shared by the Educator at the lectern.
The Educator can present content from the lectern to a large projector at the front, as well as ‘send’ their learning materials to all displays in the room – with the additional option of retracting the projector when they are sharing content to all the group tables. There are a number of ‘sources’ from which you can present your learning materials, including a Windows 10 PC at the lectern, an Apple TV for wireless mirroring of Apple devices, and the ability to use an external HDMI or VGA device (cables are supplied).
A touchscreen Control Panel at the lectern allows for intuitive control over the rooms systems, including the ability to monitor the activity on each screen in the room, and then send content from any screen to all other screens – thus giving your students the opportunity to share what they have produced during your timetabled session.
