Rapid advances in mobile communication and internet technologies during past decade have created a new era that is best characterized by speed, deep collaboration, and rich information content. The convenience and portability of mobile computing, the networking ability and richness of content of social media, and the flexibility and expressive power of interactive multimedia systems has transformed the way we work, communicate, entertain and learn. Education is one of the areas that have the greatest potential to benefit from the advantages of the new era. But with great benefits, there always comes great challenges as well.

Although the idea of a digital or smart classroom have been around for years, few school systems have found a way to create a fully enabled and sustainable digital ecosystem. The reason is teaching with technology is complicated considering the challenges newer technologies present to educators.

The physical environment provides the necessary tools for the transformation activities to move forward. After successful implementation of the road map, these tools create a sustainable environment for education in the new era of digital content and interactive training. CETRIX is responsible for providing the equipment and services in this component of the solution.

At the core of School Digital Transformation Solution are the hybrids and tablets from CETRIX. These are the everyday tools of the students and teachers for reading, writing, communicating, collaborating and etc.

At the classroom level, the Interactive LED Panel is the hub for classroom collaboration. Complemented with a high resolution desktop visualizer, it provides the most engaging educational experience for students as well as teachers. CETRIX tops the classroom technology with an advanced Sound Field System to enhance the classroom audio quality in order to make sure the lectures are audible throughout the classroom.

CETRIX has added classroom control software from Lightspeed Systems to complete the digital classroom package with one of industry’s easiest and most versatile software for assessing student progress and increasing student engagement in class.

Realizing the fact that introducing computing devices alone cannot help schools to adapt to the new era, CETRIX, in collaboration with its partners, has put together a complete Digital Transformation Solution for schools. The solution encompasses consulting, planning, ICT systems and hardware, educational and management software, training and support. It consists of 5 components:1. Consulting and Planning 2. Educator Training3. Physical Environment4. Device Management System5. Digital Content and Access Technology

Digital Content & Access Technology

Transforming learning in schools requires changing the culture of the classroom. A school’s culture consists of the traditions, beliefs, policies and practices of teachers, administrators, students and staff members. Transforming school culture entails promoting new ways for teachers and students to interact, changing the conception of what constitutes an effective learning environment, and adopting new rules, policies and practices for the conduct of teaching and learning. Students, parents, school staff at all levels, and other community members need to be actively involved in developing, supporting and maintaining a transformed learning culture.

Considering the above, CETRIX places special emphasis on consultation and planning at the initiation stage of a new school digitalization program. We work through our industry leading partners to assist the schools in preparing and implementing a road map for transforming their educational system and to bring about the necessary cultural changes.

Implementing the digital transformation road map starts with training the educators. They are the most effective elements in changing the school culture, and are the real implementers of the road map. When the new policies and support from school administration is in place, the teachers and educators are the real force behind the transformation. This crucial task is carried out by the Tablet Academy , a prominent UK-based education consultancy and teacher training organization with a global customer base.

All components of the School Digital Transformation Solution work together in order to transfer the digital educational content to the students. There is a vast amount of content on the internet, but for a systematic work such as curriculum creation and maintenance, it is necessary to have the tools that make the job easier for the educators to create their curriculum and enhance it when needed.

CETRIX uses various curriculum building and cloud-based digital content access software from its partners. We work with schools in the planning stage for deciding which software system is the most suitable. Then the partner will work directly with the school to create a tailored software solution, and continue to provide services to enhance the access and educational content to the students and educations.

Since the mobile devices used in the classroom make up the core of any digital school solution, their management and maintenance is an essential element in sustaining the high level of activities in a digital classroom. For this purpose, CETRIX has included ChargeMaster tablet charging carts and cabinets to its solution. These chargers provide long hours of reliable power for all classroom devices in one secure and lockable place, protected from accidental damage, dust or other elements harmful for mobile devices.

But no school mobile solution is complete without a Mobile Device Management software, and our solution uses one of the best MDMs in the market by Lightspeed Systems. It is easy to learn, configure and use, and scales up to district level for a unified management of all mobile devices in a school district.

Large interactive touchscreen panels have taken today’s classrooms into the next level of visual expression in a group environment. Teachers and students can engage the sessions by writing, drawing shapes, moving and shearing images, filling tables, juggle shapes, and virtually endless ways of manipulating their digital content either by their fingers or using a static pen.

ActiveTouch Interactive LED Board

Classroom learning is based on communication. Improved sound wave distribution throughout the classroom and enhanced speech intelligibility is essential for transferring knowledge and assessing the quality of learning. With High Definition classroom audio, students and educators benefit from nearly perfect sound reproduction which leads to improved student comprehension and learning.

CETRIX School Digital Transformation Solution includes an advanced HD sound system by Cetacea Sound specially designed for classrooms. The system includes a single-speaker solution for complete classroom-wide sound enhancement by creating a Sound Field covering the whole space of the room. The system comes with wireless hands free necklace microphone that enables the educator to freely move around the classroom and focusing on interaction with the students.

Classroom Sound Field System

The available digital educational content provide a wide range of educational material at the reach of the educators. However, this in no way eliminates the use of paper books and notes in teaching. This necessitates the use of document cameras and digital visualizers that instantly turn paper material into digital content that can be seen and manipulated on the large interactive touch panel.

CETRIX visualizers enable educators to make full use of their paper-based content by instantly digitizing and transferring images of paper documents or even objects under study to the large interactive touch panel where the content can be manipulated and displayed to the whole classroom.

Device Management

One of the challenges of using mobile devices in a schools is control and management of those devices. This is done by a Mobile Device Management (MDM) software. CETRIX School Digital Transformation Solution includes Mobile Manager MDM software from Lightspeed Systems. It is a school-focused MDM that facilitates control and management of 1-to-1 and BYOD mobile devices at the school and district levels.

In addition to basic management abilities, Mobile Manager enables schools to manage device policies and apps, Control features, push and lock users into apps, geo-locate lost devices, and report on use and inventory with policies for groups, individuals, and on- and off-site use.

Mobile Devices Management

The hardware side of every school’s mobile device management is the charging cart or cabinet that allows for volume charging and safe keeping of tablets and laptops. In addition, they are the best way to maintain the devices in a ready-for-use condition at all times.

Designed especially for CETRIX educational tablets and hybrids, ChargeMax carts and cabinets are part of CETRIX School Digital Transformation Solution. They provide an efficient, affordable, and easy means for schools to securely store and charge mobile computing devices.
