As part of the conference portion of InfoComm 2017, Matrox Graphics will be offering a Manufacturer’s Training session entitled Applications of IP-based AV Technologies in Education (Thursday, June 15, 10:30AM - 12:00PM), dedicated to use-cases and best practices for AV-over-IP in higher education settings. | | Why This Matters: Heading to InfoComm this year? Matrox will present three case studies on the topics of lecture capture, AV-over-IP for signage distribution, IPTV and multi-site AV management, and IP-based video walls used in digital signage and visualization. | | | | 2. Different Learning Spaces, Different Goals | via Campus Technology
The concept of designing spaces for active learning has taken hold over the last decade, starting with projects such as North Carolina State's Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for Undergraduate Programs (SCALE-UP) and MIT's Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) classrooms. These efforts focused on transforming classrooms from the lecture format to project-based work. | | Why This Matters: To promote active learning, learning and study spaces should be designed with pedagogical goals in mind. Read how three schools share how they have designed classrooms tailored to more immersive and active experiences. | | | | 3. Smart Assistants Will Stay Busy on College Campuses | via EdTech Magazine
As artificial intelligence breakthroughs continue to advance (consider the rise of “smart” personal assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home), AI’s close cousin, machine learning, is also gaining attention. | | Why This Matters: Machine learning is making an impact at a growing number of schools. As these technologies evolve, we could see machine learning play important roles on campus, like AI-driven student tutoring and advising. |

"Rather than hope a new group of students will finally “get” the joys of peer learning and use that instructional design like it was meant to be used, let’s address the problems at their very pedagogical root: Make the assignments more interesting. Integrate peer work into the formalized instruction – lecture from it, discuss it in class, use it as examples. Limit your input to responding to theirs’. You’ve got to raise the stakes to catch their attention." —Laura Gogia, Messy Thinking |
