Avocor accompanies students and teachers in their learning

The classrooms of the group of academies TTMAT have been updated with the Avocor of the E Series providing a more dynamic and engaging learning environment.

Avocor screens have become the cornerstone in the centers Thomas Telford Multi Academy (TTMAT) and ensure its strategy based on educational excellence. This is a group of five schools that are located in the West Midlands (United Kingdom), including four secondary schools (Madeley Academy, Sandwell Academy, Walsall Academy, Thomas Telford UTC) and a primary (Redhill Primary Academy).

It has a management structure that gives the directors of each academy autonomy, Independence and responsibility to assume full responsibility for the management of each centre. Effective communication and collaboration are also important to empower efforts and raise standards. TTMAT decided to revamp the technology in its classrooms with the aim of revolutionizing the teaching and learning experience.

At the TTMAT complex, the Audiovisual Setup standard in the classroom was a traditional projector and whiteboard infrastructure. While this audiovisual setup benefited from familiarity, it also presented a variety of practical and teaching limitations.

For example, Projectors could display reflections on screens, which meant interruptions in presentations and, in addition, The reliance on lamps not only increased costs, but also generated downtime when they needed to be replaced. On the other hand, This legacy setup could create a physical barrier between teachers and technology, which hindered the desired dynamic learning experience.

The foundation embarked on a comprehensive supplier selection process to upgrade the AV system, with priority on future-proof solutions. Longevity was also a critical factor and it became apparent that some suppliers lacked the established track record to inspire confidence. It was looking for a technology solution that would integrate with existing workflows and sought a software-agnostic approach to allow teachers to use their preferred software and learning platforms without restrictions.

The innovative interactive displays of the E-Series emerged as the best option, as they not only offer a reliable and durable solution, but its cutting-edge gesture recognition technology set it apart from the start.

This feature coincided with the vision of fostering a more interactive and engaging learning environment. Equally important was the integration of teachers' laptops and desktops, transforming screens into an extension of your tools. Last, Elimination of lamp replacements significantly improved total cost of ownership (TCO), which made Avocor an economically attractive option.

"Our traditional AV setup was reliable, but limited", says Daljeet Kangh, Director of Information Technology Services at Sandwell Academy Trust. "We envisioned a future-proof solution that would create a more engaging learning experience, but that it would also improve the total cost of ownership of our AV systems. We are delighted with the positive impact that the Avocor displays have had on our classrooms and look forward to equipping even more classrooms in the future.".

TTMAT has made the decision to implement Avocor interactive displays in 112 Classrooms, so far, across your network. This measure has meant a commitment to provide teachers and students with the most advanced technological tools available.

E-Series high-definition displays deliver a vibrant and captivating visual experience for students. While the transition from VGA to HDMI presented a minor technical hurdle, IT team quickly addressed it, ensuring seamless integration.

From implementation, the Foundation has witnessed a dramatic improvement in classroom dynamics. The intuitive touchscreens and gesture recognition capabilities of Avocor displays have fostered a more interactive learning experience for students. Teachers can now interact with students in real-time, which fosters deeper understanding and knowledge retention.

The TTMAT has also been impressed with the remarkable durability of the screens, that withstand the demands of a busy classroom environment. The combination of screens of 65 and 75 inches fits classrooms of different sizes, and plans are already underway to equip additional classrooms with this transformative technology.
