Educators have always known the value of multimedia in the classroom and have readily incorporated each successive wave of multimedia technology into their pedagogy - advancing from filmstrips and overhead projectors of generations past to the latest networked 4K video and surround sound. Multimedia learning takes advantage of the brain's ability to associate verbal and visual information to promote deeper engagement and understanding. Today's students are digital natives, wired to consume information electronically. This makes multimedia AV even more attractive as a teaching tool today than it was for previous generations. Educators from K-12 to university level rely on Extron to supply state-of-the-art classroom AV technology like our workhorse WallVault® Digital, PlenumVault® Digital, and PlenumVault Direct View systems to keep multimedia content flowing to students with clarity, simplicity, and reliability.
Extron collaborated with our instructors during AV system design to understand specific uses and applications for each course. As Extron customized the AV systems, they provided training and support during and after installation. They were exemplary in follow-up as instructors began using the system verifying everything was running effectively.
The campus-wide standardization initiative focused on consistency. Instructors teach in multiple classrooms during a typical day. We want to provide them with a dependable and uniform AV experience in every room. We also leverage GlobalViewer® Enterprise to implement a strong AV management back-end to maximize AV system uptime.
We strive for simplicity, standardization, and reliability. That’s one of the reasons that we use Extron for switching, distribution, and control. We select AV suppliers based on durability, functionality, and responsive technical support. Extron has always been awesome at all three.
After two to three minutes of familiarization with the AV system, instructors say ‘Wow, that's easy!’ The systems are now in daily use. I measure success by the total lack of calls for assistance. That says it all.

The primary mode of learning in the classroom is listening. Students listen to the teacher, and they listen to each other. Even well-designed classrooms can have acoustics that make hearing and being heard a challenge: background noise, reverberation, and long distances from speakers to listeners all contribute to the problem. When coupled with our VoiceLift Pro Microphone, Extron PlenumVault Digital, PlenumVault Direct View, or WallVault Digital systems provide a complete classroom audio solution that includes voice reinforcement. Everyone in the classroom can hear the lessons being taught, whether the source is the teacher's voice, or an AV presentation from a laptop or media player.
Another benefit is how consistently the lightweight microphones perform. Many teachers wear their VoiceLift Microphone around school all day, confident that they will operate perfectly in every classroom.
The VoiceLift system is providing benefits for both our faculty and students. Teachers say they have more energy by not having to project their voice all day and students comment that they do not have to work as hard at listening.
Teachers have found the Extron AV systems easy to use and we've seen a decrease in service calls in most rooms. They are also particularly happy with the sound quality of the new systems.
Operating under CDC protocols over the past year, use of the Extron VoiceLift Pro microphone has gone up substantially across the district.

Instruction is shifting away from lecture toward collaborative learning, where students gather in small groups to solve problems and perform tasks that begin with facts and ideas and progress to applications. Learning spaces configured into pods equipped with AV systems that allow students to easily share content from BYOD laptops, tablets, and smartphones enable collaborative learning. Students can share with their immediate group on a pod display, or the instructor can send the content from a pod to a large screen at the front of the classroom to share good ideas with the entire class. As their names imply, Extron Teamwork and ShareLink® Pro 1100 collaboration systems are specifically aimed at satisfying collaborative learning needs. Augmenting these are a variety of products to store, extend, and stream the content that collaboration spaces need to share beyond their boundaries.
Our tests with the eLink 100 extender resulted in all 15 pairs streaming video with no signal interruptions or Wi Fi overloads, and the transmissions went where they needed to go.
Learning that bridges formal and informal educational experiences is accomplished through the effective use of advanced technologies. Competency-based progressions and digital learning modalities were enabled by Extron's IN1608 presentation switcher, wireless extenders, and Pro Series control.
One of the things I like about the Extron AV system is how quickly an instructor can enter a room and be teaching with the technology. They push ON, and everything fires up. Teachers tell me they love it.

The most important consideration for classroom technology is ease of use. Well designed control systems assure this by providing an intuitive user interface, flexible automated or manual configuration of all devices, and solid reliability. Keypad controllers such as Extron's MediaLink Plus are simple devices that provide functionality to operate a typical single display classroom AV system. They have an intuitive user interface consisting of a few backlit buttons and perhaps a volume control and can be set up to control multiple devices with the push of a single button. The AV system can be activated for the day's lessons as easily as turning on the lights. Their rugged construction stands up well to the rigors of daily classroom use. For more sophisticated applications, touchpanel controllers like our TouchLink Pro, coupled with control processors such our IP Link Pro, provide the advantages of a customizable graphical user interface, the ability to configure macro control functions for virtually unlimited AV system automation, and sleek aesthetics with vibrant color graphics on durable glass screens.
Whether it's combining multiple rooms for overflow or quickly setting up a videoconference or recording session for a special event, XTP Systems and the TouchLink Pro touchpanels give us a wealth of flexibility.
We needed a solution for a technology-rich Active Learning Space on campus within a reasonable budget, while maintaining a high level of functionality. Extron's XTP Systems and TouchLink touchpanels were the answer.
Our standard classroom — uses the Extron TouchLink touchpanel systems. We really like those because it gives us a lot more flexibility with the graphical user interface so we'll be able to deploy these across campus and basically give a lot more options to faculty, staff, and our end-users.
With Extron equipment, control and switching just can't get any simpler. Even my most technologically challenged faculty have no problems using it. And since the system is networked, I've saved inches of shoe leather because I'm not walking from classroom to classroom responding to calls for help.
