Advances in technology have been changing the way people live, as well as the way people learn. In the education sector, audio-visual technology (AV) is reshaping classrooms. Teachers use these technologies to engage students through interactive experiences, creating an educational culture of active learning.

One of the most popular forms of AV in classrooms today is the smart board. This type of projection screen is interactive and connected to the internet. Students can draw on, select from, diagram, and otherwise engage with these screens. A wide variety of online resources can integrate with smart boards so that teachers can teach diverse lessons using the technology.

How This Technology is Advancing the Education Sector

Besides smart boards, other forms of technology commonly used in classrooms today include podcasts, Skype, simulcasting, etc. Due to these technologies, students are able to be more active learners. They participate in their education by interacting with course material firsthand and by connecting with the larger world.

Networking and connectivity outside the traditional classroom are some of the major changes technologies have afforded. Learning can now be completed remotely. Courses can be supplemented with digital homework that is automatically corrected, helping students learn from mistakes quickly. Tablets and other handheld devices connected to Wi-Fi allow students to complete and participate in activities in real-time while teachers can track their progress.

Expected Progress in Educational Technology

As educators continue to find ways to integrate technology into the classroom for the betterment of their students, tech companies are also advancing their designs and products. It is expected that cloud computing, big data, and augmented reality (AR) are going to influence the classroom in the near future.

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Transcoding moves to the cloud. Intercom, tally and shading stay at the venue

Vendors draw the same line: transcoding and graphics move to the cloud, while intercom, tally and camera shading stay on site. Riedel says the connection back to on-site talent, cameras, tally and IFB can still undermine the production or the business case. Hybrid looks like where things settle.

  • 01Dillon’s analysis suggests hybrid cloud-plus-venue production is where things settle, making on-site hardware for latency-bound work a long-term facility plan item.
  • 02Interoperability standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS handle the plumbing. The question to put to vendors now is how their systems provision, configure, tear down and monitor services alongside other vendors' gear.

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour for frame-accurate browser monitoring

Vindral shares an Emmy honour in a category described as web-based, frame-accurate, remote and distributed. Vindral shares the category with NBCUniversal, Disney, Amazon, CBS Sports, Grass Valley, Game Creek and SipRadius. The award recognises tools that keep production teams in separate locations frame-accurate in a browser, without specialised hardware.

  • 01The Emmy-recognised technical bar is that everyone on a distributed production sees the exact same frame at the exact same moment in an ordinary browser, with no specialised hardware.
  • 02Eight organizations share the award, and the release says the work being honored dates to the pandemic. The announcement doesn’t rank the honourees or include latency figures a buyer could benchmark.
