Education Is More Than Just Classroom Learning Distance education has been embraced by many organizations globally over the last few years, but it took a pandemic to expose the fact that most schools were not prepared to teach their students remotely at scale. Today, many schools are looking to a "hybrid" or "blended" approach, with educators teaching a mix of students in the classroom and students at home. To be successful, teachers, students and administrators must have the right tools to ensure that these hybrid experiences are engaging and informative for all participants no matter where they are located.
Poly solutions work with mobile phones, computers, and more advanced camera systems to enable the success of distance learning initiatives for both students and educators. Poly solutions empower educators to deliver exceptional, high-impact learning experiences, and many Poly solutions can be managed remotely, even when connected to a home network.
The Right Experience Is Key To Distance Learning
In a classroom a teacher will stand and adjust their voice to make sure all of the students can see and hear them clearly. They will move around, use visual aids and look each student in the eye to make sure they are paying attention. The students will similarly raise their hands and ask questions. Some of key requirements include: ▶ Teachers need to be clearly seen and heard so students can understand the lesson. ▶ Students need to be clearly seen and heard as they engage in discussion and ask questions. ▶ Teachers need to be able to move freely around the virtual classroom (either on campus or at home) without being "stuck" behind a desk. ▶ Teachers also need to be able to move equipment from school to their home and have the same experience in both locations. ▶ IT staff needs to manage the equipment, whether it is being used inside or outside the school. 27 |
Administration
The role of school administrators has never been more important. There are so many moving parts—from campuses being open or closed, to students keeping up with lesson plans, to parents having a voice in the entire process. School leaders need the tools to support effective communications for board meetings, status updates, teacher evaluations, and preserving day-to-day business no matter where they are physically working. Poly audio and video solutions can keep pace with an administrator's hectic day-to-day responsibilities, and they ensure the highest quality voice, video, and content sharing.
