Kramer has helped boost teaching and learning at John Abbott College in Quebec, bringing connected capabilities to classrooms using a range of AVoIP systems.
In response to a rapidly growing student population and limited campus space, the new dynamic classroom complex, was led by Canadian integration partner AVI-SPL in collaboration with Kramer.
With a campus area of 1,600 acres, John Abbott College is an English-language public college located in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, near the western tip of the Island of Montreal.
Faced with the challenge of creating additional teaching space without undertaking a major construction project, the college took a modular approach to increase classroom capacity. Completed in just four months, 32 prefabricated units were installed to form Maple Hall, housing 13 classrooms designed to adapt to the evolving needs of educators and students alike.
Kramer AVoIP products were specified to replace traditional point-to-point cabling with a fully networked system. This design enables any source to be routed to any display – across classrooms or even campus-wide – opening the door to more interactive and collaborative teaching methods.
The new setup enables instructors to split screens by group, share content from one class to another, or spotlight student presentations with a tap on the control panel. Instructors can annotate content directly on the interactive display or from their laptop and have it appear instantly on every screen in the room.
