How digital signage is used in education?
The education industry and digital signage have powerful links in conveying information, enhancing the learning experience and strengthening communication. By utilising digital signage, schools and tutoring schools are revolutionising the educational process by streamlining the delivery of real-time information, interactive learning and communication to parents. It is particularly powerful in sharing school events, communicating information to diverse children, including those with learning and hearing disabilities, and sharing and communicating information among teachers. This article explores in detail how digital signage can be used effectively in the education industry and focuses on how it can deliver value.
For Students
“I forgot, I didn’t know it”. That’s normal for children. Important things should also be played on signage as a reminder.
For Teachers
Do your members share information with each other by email or slack? It would be more convenient and harder to forget if that information was displayed when you looked up quickly.
For Parents
Parents who are very busy juggling work and childcare may forget to receive school notices. It would be kind to have an environment where they can be reminded when they go to school.
