Kramer is surging forward in the
exciting field of Pro AV/IT for Education. With investments in both
classroom and training room products and solutions, the company is
poised to lead the way in this growing market.
At InfoComm 2015 in Orlando, Florida, Kramer introduced and was honored for its latest Education solution initiative, the Kramer Collaborative Classroom.
Kramer Collaborative Classroom is a complete wireless classroom
solution that combines advanced control and wireless presentation and
collaboration with the convenience of BYOD. The solution features
Kramer’s award-winning VIA
TRUE-Collaboration™ solutions; Kramer’s award-winning K-Touch™, a
cloud-based platform for advanced room control, and industry-leading
HDMI/HDBaseT signal distribution.
At the beginning
of 2015, in an effort to better understand and address the needs of the
Education market, Kramer founded the Kramer Education Solutions Circle
(KESC), an exclusive community of AV professionals from leading academic
institutions. KESC members participate in an ongoing dialogue with the
Kramer team to take an active role in developing exciting and innovative
Education solutions. KESC’s members are invited to exchange ideas,
offer their field-tested wisdom and directly contribute to designing new
products and solutions for education and training applications.
Kramer’s
investments in improving the way people engage and collaborate in
classrooms and training venues have led to success stories like this
one:
In January 2015, Sheldon College in South East
Queensland, Australia integrated Kramer VIA Collage into their
classrooms. They were looking for a way to encourage collaborative
thinking and enhance their students’ overall learning experiences. They
wanted to make presenting, collaborating and sharing content easier and
more efficient within the context of their Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
policy. The myriad of devices students brought to school, with different
operating systems and release versions, presented a huge hurdle for the
system designers.
“We needed a solution for
wireless connectivity of the students’ portable media devices. We tested
and evaluated a number of the leading brands of wireless collaboration
systems and the VIA Collage
was chosen as the best of its kind currently on offer,” said Julian
Stirling, Design Manager for Integration Partners Australia.
As
a part of an ongoing effort to introduce new wireless presentation and
collaboration solutions, Kramer will be releasing a new VIA solution to
address the unique challenges and opportunities in Education and
Corporate Training. The solution will offer unique and powerful
collaboration features focused on enhancing student?teacher interaction.
