Barco’s active learning 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. <P>BYOD is not only about sharing pixels to screens – personal devices are an essential collaborative interaction tool as well. The system therefore comes with an interaction module to allow students and teachers to work in groups, access any content, annotate it and store locally on their devices or share the notes. Support for quizzes, polls, real-time feedback and silent questions allow all students to be active learners. Teachers walk around with a BYOD which gives full preview and moderation control over the room, pods and sources.
