The Interactive Flat Panel (Interactive Display, Interactive Whiteboard or SmartBoard) is a technology that assists both teachers and students by providing them with an interactive and collaborative learning environment.

Interactive Flat Panel is a great tool that offers many collaboration opportunities with new technology that allows for better learning. It has upgraded whiteboard features and cloud storage that supports easy data management.

Invisible Risks Exist in Classrooms

There are a lot of health risks that exist in classrooms, such as poor air quality and germ accumulation. When risks like this are prevalent it can affect learning efficiency. On average, each student is absent for 8.1 days during an academic year, with illnesses accounting for 52% of all specified absences, according to the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth. Even the smallest steps can help to make a difference in cutting down the amount of sick days that students have to take.

ClassroomCare®: A health focused technology

ClassroomCare® helps to protect students and educators from these risks. BenQ’s ClassroomCare®technologies cover everything from eye care and germ resistance to CO2 monitoring, creating safe and healthy spaces for students and teachers.

 

The ClassroomCare® Interactive Flat Panel has successfully been used in classrooms and schools throughout the country, including at the Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School (IGGS) in Queensland, Australia. BenQ worked with IGGS to connect all of their technology needs on campus. They’re currently utilising technologies such as the germ-resistant and smart eye-care Interactive Flat Panel, helping to increase health initiatives throughout the school.

 

Eye disorders happen to be the most common long-term health problem that children experience, with more than 411,000 cases of eye disorders among children in Australia, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. The ClassroomCare® Interactive Flat Panel aims to help lower these numbers. According to a study done by ResearchGate, CO2 ventilation rates in schools are inadequate , and a potential CO2 buildup in a classroom can lead to discomfort, which then leads to learning difficulties. This is another health risk that the ClassroomCare™ Interactive Flat Panel addresses.

 

ClassroomCare ® is a staple for all schools that aim to increase learning efficiency. Reducing the amount of health related risks in a classroom can do wonders for productivity. Between reduced absences, higher concentration levels and easy-on-the-eye screens that can be looked at for longer, the ClassroomCare® Interactive Flat Panel has the capabilities to take your school’s learning environment to the next level.

2. Smarter solution that provides eye care 

3. Air-quality sensor that monitors indoor CO2 intensity

Germ resistant screen

TUV certified, this germ resistant screen features a nano ionic silver agent, which eliminates almost all germs. This feature is effective even after intense cleaning or long periods of use. An interactive touch screen is an easy way to spread illness, but with a germ protector built right in, you’ll be able to reduce the amount of sick students - keeping them healthy and present in class to increase productivity.

 

Being able to focus fully on the lessons at hand instead of potential illnesses in and out of the classroom, productivity rates in schools have the potential to go through the roof.

A smarter solution that provides eye care

A lot of eye problems can start at a young age due to the large amount of screens that kids are constantly exposed to. Between the dangers of blue light and glare, screen time often has to be limited to reduce the risk of developing eye disorders.

 

The ClassroomCare ®  Interactive Flat Panel is TUV certified flicker-free screen, and functions with a motion sensor. The low blue light feature also allows students to spend more time in front of the screen, which can help boost productivity. Additionally, the anti-glare feature reduces reflections and makes the screen easier to look at, increasing the amount of time that can be spent looking at the screen.

An air-quality sensor that monitors indoor CO2 intensity

The air-quality sensor improves overall health, increasing classroom productivity. Its biggest advantage is its capability to monitor CO2 intensity. With ClassroomCare's ability to monitor CO2 rates, teachers can open windows and doors to let in fresh air if the CO2 levels are too high. This then helps students bring their concentration back to the lesson.
