Barco’s weConnect solution offers an easy way to achieve a fully functional collaborative learning environment. The system allows students and teachers to bring their own devices to the classroom and share their information, whether it is graphics, video, audio or applications, on the pod displays and the classroom projector.
BYOD is not only about sharing pixels to screens – personal devices are an essential collaborative interaction tool as well. The system therefore comes with interaction option to allow students and teachers to work in groups. Support for quizzes, polls, real-time feedback and silent questions allow all students to be active learners. Teachers are free to walk around with their own device. Which gives full preview and moderation control over the room, pods and sources.
