The Challenge
Cardiff Metropolitan University, which traces its history back to 1865 with the opening of its School of Art, is “committed to ensuring that every student fulfills their potential to make outstanding graduate-level contributions to their own and future generations.”
To support modern learning and teaching, Cardiff Met decided to equip their teaching spaces with technology to ensure instructors and students had what they needed to stay actively engaged.
As an award-winning institution for higher education, the university wanted to utilize technology that actively engages students and supports their learning.
Previously, Cardiff Met audio-visual technology included a standard 4:3 projected image onto a screen that was lowered from the ceiling and connected to a tutor PC in the room. The low-quality images projected did not have the innovative feel to create interactive learning environments. It was also necessary to have a VGA for a laptop connected to the projector. This was inefficient and most external devices no longer have a VGA connection. To complete the aging technology set up, rooms had a handful of ceiling mounted speakers.
Key Solutions
When Cardiff Met decision-makers were introduced to the IMPACT Plus™ interactive display by Clevertouch® Technologies, they could see how the state-of-the-art features and tools of the IMPACT Plus could empower teachers to engage their audience and maximize the learning experience. Features of the IMPACT Plus interactive display that can optimize what can be done in the classroom include:
Cardiff University Corridors
