THE COLLABORATION SOLUTION FOR TODAY'S EDUCATION
Our educational institutions are facing new challenges. How do they ensure learning continues, regardless of the circumstances? How can they prepare for every possible situation?
Learn Anywhere is an innovative complete solution, allowing teachers to continue teaching in a traditional way and allowing students to attend classes anytime, anywhere.
Tilburg University has won the EUNIS award for innovation in education with Learn Anywhere. Read more about Tilburg University's Innovation Room here.
THE CHALLENGE OF CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION
When students cannot be physically present in the classroom, digital collaboration is our best available option. Unfortunately, existing collaboration solutions have not been developed specifically with a classroom setting in mind.
For example, how do you teach when some students are physically present in the classroom while others attend class from home? How do you guarentee that everyone is able to see the teacher without blocking the view of the notes and presentations on the whiteboard? And how do you ensure the necessary interaction between the teacher and the students at home? Teachers prefer to teach using methods they are familiar with: in front of the classroom, with a marker for writing on the whiteboard and a display for digital presentations.
IN WHAT SITUATIONS CAN LEARN ANYWHERE BE USED?
Whether students attend class from home, in the classroom or both, with Learn Anywhere classes can always continue, supporting the existing workflows of teachers and students.
ANALOGUE TEACHING
All students are present in the classroom and the teacher illustrates the material with notes on an analogue whiteboard. Thanks to the three large whiteboards covering the entire front of the classroom, the teacher has plenty of space - for example to write out long mathematical formulas or to make large, schematic drawings. There is no display panel in the way, so the full width of the board can be used.
Workflow for the teacher: class can start immediately.
PRESENTING DIGITALLY
All students are present in the classroom. The teacher can present digitally and interactively on the middle board and simultaneously make analogue notes on the left and right boards. Once the presentation is finished, the projection surface can also be used for notes, if desired.
Workflow for the teacher: connect a laptop via HDMI and select "PRESENT LOCAL" on the control panel.
HYBRID TEACHING
Some of the students are present in the classroom, but others attend class from home. In this scenario, the unique benefits of Learn Anywhere come into their own.
Workflow for the teacher: connect a laptop via HDMI, select "REMOTE" on the control panel and start the Microsoft Teams call.
REMOTE TEACHING
Fully remote teaching
Even when all students have to attend class from home, Learn Anywhere fully supports traditional and recognized teaching methods. The teacher teaches from an empty classroom, while using all the resources available in a regular lesson.
Workflow for the teacher: connect a laptop via HDMI, select "REMOTE" on the control panel and start the Microsoft Teams call.

Teachers want to focus on teaching instead of bothering with all kinds of complicated settings. For these types of users, Microsoft has developed a special version of Teams for the Logitech TAP room system. This version of Microsoft Teams has a number of important additions that ensure the application works optimally for spaces. This means that the teacher no longer has to drag windows to the correct screen with a mouse and the audio and video hardware is always ready for use. Thanks to the integration of the Logitech TAP room system with Extron Control, a remote control is no longer required and only the strictly necessary buttons are left: Presenter, Teams and Off.
Microsoft Office 365 is available for practically all educational institutions, making Microsoft Teams more accessible than ever. Also, Microsoft Teams is already used by a large number of educational institutions, which means no special training is required.
THE POWER OF COMBINED EXPERTISE
Technology giants Epson, Logitech, Extron and Smit Visual combined their knowledge and expertise to develop Learn Anywhere: a flexible solution based on proven technologies that supports existing teaching methods - even in hybrid situations, where some students are physically present while others attend class from home.
