Digital signage is transforming educational institutions, increasing student engagement by up to 30%, improving campus navigation efficiency by 45%, and significantly enhancing emergency communication response times. Our education-specific digital signage solutions provide everything you need to create a more connected, informed, and safe campus environment.

From dynamic announcements and interactive wayfinding to emergency alerts and classroom displays, our platform empowers educational institutions of all sizes to improve communication while enhancing the overall learning experience for students, faculty, and staff.

Campus Communication

Centralized Campus Communication

Streamline information distribution across your entire campus with a centralized digital signage network. Our platform allows you to:

  • Broadcast Announcements: Share important information instantly across all campus displays
  • Promote Events: Highlight upcoming activities, lectures, performances, and deadlines
  • Showcase Achievements: Celebrate student, faculty, and institutional accomplishments
  • Display Schedules: Show class schedules, room assignments, and facility hours
  • Share News: Keep everyone informed about campus news and developments

Educational institutions using digital signage report a 65% improvement in campus-wide communication effectiveness compared to traditional methods like bulletin boards and email. Our platform allows for targeted messaging to specific buildings or departments while maintaining centralized control, ensuring consistent branding and messaging across your entire campus.

With role-based access controls, you can empower department administrators, student organizations, and faculty to contribute content while maintaining administrative oversight of the entire system.


Interactive Campus Wayfinding

Help students, visitors, and new faculty navigate your campus with ease. Our interactive wayfinding solutions provide:

  • Interactive Campus Maps: Allow users to search for buildings, departments, or facilities
  • Turn-by-Turn Directions: Provide step-by-step navigation with printable or mobile-friendly maps
  • Building Directories: Display room listings and office locations within buildings
  • Points of Interest: Highlight dining options, study spaces, and campus resources
  • Accessibility Routes: Show wheelchair-accessible paths and facilities

Campus wayfinding is particularly valuable during high-traffic periods like the beginning of semesters, orientation, and special events when many visitors are unfamiliar with your campus layout. Our solutions can be updated instantly to reflect construction detours, temporary relocations, or event-specific information.

Educational institutions implementing our wayfinding solutions report a 45% reduction in directional questions to staff and significantly improved visitor experiences during campus events.

Campus Wayfinding

Emergency Alerts

Campus-Wide Emergency Alert System

Ensure the safety of your campus community with our integrated emergency alert capabilities. Our platform allows you to:

  • Override All Displays: Instantly push emergency messages to every screen on campus
  • Provide Clear Instructions: Display evacuation routes, shelter locations, or lockdown procedures
  • Integrate with Existing Systems: Connect with campus alert systems and notification platforms
  • Target Specific Areas: Send location-specific instructions when appropriate
  • Conduct Regular Drills: Test emergency messaging without disrupting normal operations

In emergency situations, digital signage provides a critical communication channel that complements other notification methods like text alerts and sirens. The visual nature of digital displays ensures that emergency information is noticed even in noisy environments or by those who may not have received mobile alerts.

Our emergency alert system features multiple activation methods, including mobile apps, web interfaces, and integration with existing campus safety platforms. Messages can be pre-configured for various scenarios, allowing for one-click activation during critical situations when every second counts.


Interactive Classroom Displays

Enhance the learning environment with digital signage solutions designed specifically for classrooms and learning spaces:

  • Room Scheduling: Display current and upcoming class schedules outside each room
  • Interactive Learning: Incorporate touchscreen displays for collaborative education
  • Digital Lesson Plans: Show learning objectives, assignments, and resources
  • Student Showcase: Display student work and projects
  • Lecture Capture: Integrate with recording systems for later review

Classroom digital signage creates more efficient use of facilities by clearly showing room availability and reducing scheduling conflicts. Outside each room, displays can show current occupancy, upcoming classes, and reservation information, helping students and faculty quickly identify available spaces.

Inside the classroom, digital displays enhance engagement by providing visual reinforcement of concepts, facilitating group collaboration, and creating more dynamic learning experiences. Studies show that classrooms with integrated digital displays see up to 30% higher student engagement and improved information retention.

Classroom Displays

Student Engagement

Enhanced Student Engagement

Foster a more connected campus community by using digital signage to increase student involvement and engagement:

  • Social Media Integration: Display moderated social feeds from campus accounts and hashtags
  • Student Organization Promotion: Highlight club activities, meetings, and recruitment
  • Campus Life Content: Showcase residence hall events, intramural sports, and social activities
  • Student Success Resources: Promote tutoring services, academic support, and wellness programs
  • Interactive Polls and Surveys: Gather student feedback and increase participation

Digital signage in student-centric areas like residence halls, student unions, and recreation centers creates a more vibrant campus atmosphere and helps students feel more connected to campus life. By highlighting diverse activities and resources, you can increase participation in campus events and improve utilization of student services.

Our platform allows student organizations and campus departments to submit content for approval, ensuring that displays remain fresh and relevant while maintaining appropriate oversight. This collaborative approach increases student ownership and engagement with the digital signage system itself.
