Holistic Approach to Education with ViewSonic^® ViewBoard^® Digital Learning Ecosystem

Committed to providing a holistic and future-ready learning experience,a leading private school board in Ontario, Canada, encompassing all elementary and high schools within its community, has strategically standardized on the ViewSonic^® ViewBoard^® digital learning ecosystem. This comprehensive solution seamlessly integrates ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive flat panel displays, the dynamic myViewBoard® collaborative whiteboarding software, and ViewSonic Manager™, a cloud-based platformfor efficient remote device and application management.

To date, the board has deployed ViewSonic IFP8650 and IFP5550 ViewBoard displays across every classroom in its schools, creating a consistent and engaging learning environment. Most classrooms are equipped with the expansive 86-inch ViewBoard displays, while smaller 55-inch models are strategically placed in Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 classrooms – an ideal size for younger learners who often participate in floor-based circle time activities. Recognizing the importance of adaptable learning spaces, the schools also utilize several mobile ViewBoard units on carts, allowing for easy relocation and collaborative opportunities within and between classrooms.

Before adopting ViewSonic’s integrated education solution, the school board faced significant limitations with their existing technology infrastructure. The reliance on traditional TVs connected to individual PCs presented several key challenges: the cumbersome process of managing individual passwords for new teachers, the absence of native annotation capabilities, and consequently, limited opportunities for interactive student engagement during lessons.

ViewSonic’s ViewBoard digital learning ecosystem delivered a comprehensive and future-ready solution, providing the schools with a platform-agnostic,

With the new system in place, teachers are seeing a transformational impact—greater student engagement, improved lesson planning, and better content comprehension—all contributing to a more interactive and effective learning environment.”

Recognizing the need for long-term value and adaptability, the school board also prioritized price and future-proofing. They sought a robust and scalable solution capable of supporting evolving educational needs, particularly the integration of more wireless casting applications to facilitate interactive and engaging learning experiences. With all students and teachers equipped with touchscreen laptops, they can now annotate directly on the ViewBoard screen in any learning environment, further enhancing collaboration and interactivity.
