Digital Signage in Education


Colleges and Universities can enjoy significant benefits from the use of a Digital Signage network. In addition to improved communications with students, faculty and visitors, revenue generation opportunities are available through sponsored content and campus-approved advertising.

The applications of signage on campus are truly limitless. We see new innovative uses for digital displays each day as universities strive to use technology to connect with students and reduce the use of paper.

Education Applications

  • Athletic Hall of Fame
    Displays allow programs to share the history, chronicle the journey to championships, and recognize the accomplishments of athletes and coaches.
  • Business School Finance Lab
    To help simulate Wall Street on campus, today's leading business schools are creating mock trading rooms leveraging the latest LED stock tickers, video walls, and digital displays to show the market activity and trends.
  • Campus Communications
    Each college on campus has distinct needs to communicate with students regarding club news, department highlights, upcoming events and much more. Large format displays help to bring life to this content and ensure it is updated in real-time.
  • Donor Recognition
    Every university relies on generous donations from distinguished alumni and business partners to help improve programs. Interactive displays enable universities to show media such as photos or video to tell stories and recognize gifts.
  • Way-finding
    Each campus is a complex maze of buildings. Touch enabled kiosks allow guests and visitors to quickly find what they are looking for and the best route to get there.

Social Media

Leveraging Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Foursquare and more are great ways to keep the content on your display fresh and appealing.









Campus Events

Whether you display data from an event management system or simply connected to a Google Calendar a large digital display is a great way to keep students posted on campus.





 


Directories

Need to provide visitors with quick access to a building directory, office number, or office hours? Using a touch screen makes it quick and easy for students and guests to get what they need.




 

 

Way-finding

Your facility may span a large area, so you want to make it easy for visitors to find the building they are looking for and then be able to transfer the directions to their smartphone to help them navigate campus.



 


 

Athletic Hall of Fame

Tired of updating plaques and leaderboards each season? Through the use of digital displays you can update records in real-time to recognize accomplishments.





 

 

Live Data

Does your college of business need an innovative way to recreate Wall Street with a financial trading lab? Video walls and LED Tickers are a great way to incorporate state-of-the-art signage to help attract attention to the finance program.


 

 

Donor Recognition

Interactive displays can help create a dynamic user experience that allows you to tell the story of your generous donors. Through the use of technology you can provide real-time updates on campaigns and share photos and video testimonials from your donors and alumni.
