Full Title:

Posting for Community and Culture: Considerations for the Design of Interactive Digital Bulletin Boards

Authors:

Claude Fortin, Carman Neustaedter, Kate Hennessy

Abstract:

The next decade is likely to see a shift in digital public displays moving from non-interactive to interactive content. This will likely create a need for digital bulletin boards and for a better understanding of how such displays should be designed to encourage community members to interact with them. Our study addresses this by exploring community bulletin boards as a ubiquitous type of participatory non-digital display “in the wild”. Our results highlight how they are used for content of local and contextual relevance, and how cultures of participation, personalization, location, the tangible character of architecture, access, control and flexibility might affect community members’ level of engagement with them. Our analysis suggests entry points as design considerations intrinsically linked to the users’ sense of agency within a delineated space. Overlaps with related work are identified throughout to provide further validation of previous findings in this area of research.

Interactive Whiteboards: The SmartBoard

Smart today’s classrooms equipped with various digital technologies, including interactive whiteboards, viewers, the document cameras, interactive panels, digital power Desks, Podiums, projectors and room assistants, etc. Also called interactive whiteboard as smart cards can turns your computer and projector into a powerful tool for teaching, collaboration, learning and presentation. With an image projected on the board, you can simply press on its large, touch-sensitive surface to access and control any application. Whiteboards as interactive whiteboards transform into dynamic classrooms, welcoming environments where students are given the freedom to learn as they think and express their own innovative ideas in this age of modern technology.

Whiteboards can be connected directly to a computer / laptop and projection system acts as an interactive digital whiteboard where one does not need any marker to write or highlight information. With the finger, it is of course work in the Council to take notes and highlight important and desired information. Whenever you meet, teach, train or present, the Council allows your group to save your valuable time, increase interactivity in your group and improve communication leading to the emergence of the modern world.

You can also control all the functions of the computer from the Commission itself and therefore no need to stand beside your computer while presenting, d education or work something students. Besides this one can choose a number of colors to present information and there is no limitation on the color markers have.

The Smart Board is an interactive whiteboard that make use of the touch detection for user input. This includes scrolling, right-click the mouse in the same natural features of the one-way PC input, such as a mouse or keyboard, detect input. The Smart Board interactive whiteboard usually comes with four pens, which use digital ink and replace traditional whiteboard markers. Most of the Smart Board interactive whiteboards register only one contact at a time. Some dual-touch SMART Board interactive whiteboard supports two simultaneous touches.

A Smart Board interactive whiteboard can also be used in non-projected mode (without using a projector), but their use with the projector’s what by SMART Classroom and interactive. We can use a whiteboard in projected mode with three main components:

informatiqueUn projector numériqueUn interactive whiteboard system SMART Board

. All three components work together to make a SMART Classroom Interactive

The Smart Board uses DViT (Digital Vision Touch) to detect and respond to touch interactions on the surface interactive whiteboard. This touch technology based on a camera for interactive whiteboards and interactive displays using digital cameras and proprietary firmware and software to detect finger or the stylus in contact with the screen.

With this new generation digital SmartBoard users can easily and interactively engage in the development of plans, opening images and videos, explore the Internet or illustrate their points by writing directly on it and express them in an interactive way that will also facilitate the viewers.

Today, SMART Board is used to teach over 18 million students and participants in over 600,000 classrooms in more than 100 countries around the world. The interactive nature of SMART boards has many practical uses for learning and education class. Now, we may be able to demonstrate the high quality presentation and the desired dimensions that will increase the level of communication and education as standard. Smart Board allows users to work with large amounts of information. It gives you a flexible collaboration tool that turns each session lesson or brainstorming a dynamic learning experience.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) March 10, 2008

    With exponential growth in social networks in all consumer interest groups (over 230 million users as of 2007, Forrester Research), faith-based organizations are actively looking for cost-effective ways to expand their channels to reach, recruit, and retain their congregations and communities.

To compete and grow strong communities, it is essential to create an online experience where members can share information, connect, and have access to content.

AMX Introduces New Interactive Education Technology App to Assist Campus Technology Managers

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) October 01, 2014

As part of its long-standing commitment to simplify technology management in higher education, HARMAN’s AMX introduced two new resources for university decision makers – the new AMX Campus Explorer Education App and a completely redesigned AMX Education Website – both being demonstrated in Booth #139 at this year’s EDUCAUSE 2014 Annual Conference in Orlando.

Reactions to the ease of use and immediate understandability of the new AMX Campus Explorer App have been consistent: “truly interactive”, “extremely engaging”, “anyone can use it”, “great way to imagine the possibilities”. The Campus Explorer App was built to give higher education decision makers real-world examples of the many ways that automation and control technologies can enhance the ever growing use of technology in the classroom and other higher education facilities. From being able to see how a professor might screen mirror a video from her mobile device to the projection screen of modern lecture theater to being able to interact with the technology inside a university dental school’s applied learning space; no facility, application or use of technology was overlooked in the development of this App.

Using the Campus Explorer App, users are able to experience technology management firsthand from traditional and collaborative learning facilities to wider reaching campus venues like sporting complexes, student housing and administration buildings. The App integrates precision-illustrated, cutaway views and click, touch, swipe and gesture navigation to create a simple understanding of how technology is controlled/automated, media is distributed and resources are managed. Users can choose from a variety of components and systems to customize a technology management solution for each location and a range of user interfaces to make managing the experience simple. The Campus Explorer App is available to support online users in via the AMX Education Website as well as offline planning via a new iPad App.

To further support the needs of the higher education community, the AMX Education Website was completely redesigned from the ground up. The new website further assists university administrators and IT and AV managers in the time-consuming task of researching and understanding how technology can best be used and most easily managed in the university setting. The new website is segmented into four sections that offer a very easily traversed, non-technical pathway for users of all backgrounds to discover the possibilities and understand the process of purchasing technology management solutions, tailored to the needs of higher education.

The ‘LEARN’ section of the new Website includes helpful white papers, solution guides, case studies, videos and other resources, designed to illustrate and explain exactly what’s possible when beginning the purchase process. Once a user has a good understanding of what’s possible, the “PLAN” section goes deeper to give them an opportunity to see and experience how each component of technology management can specifically benefit their campus, including the ability to customize rooms and facilities with technology and user interfaces.

“We believe the new App and Website offer higher ed decision makers a level of resources and planning tools they’ve never had in one place before,” said Sarah Kinard, AMX by HARMAN Education Marketing Manager. “Illustrating the possibilities of these solutions can often be one of the lengthiest steps in the purchasing process. Demonstrative resources like these eliminate this hurdle by providing a richly engaging experience and an App-based platform has allowed us the flexibility to continually support the needs of our users on an ongoing basis.”
