Located in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, Ibn Seena English High School was founded as a future-relevant educational institution committed to placing equal emphasis on a child’s social, moral, and psychological development so as to fully prepare them so that they could face the challenges of the modern world.

With the onset of the global pandemic, the school had to adapt to the challenge of maintaining their core mission while dealing with a mix-and-match of distance learning, virtual teaching, and hybrid classrooms. The reliance on a greater number of various types of digital devices that resulted from the pandemic meant that the school had to replace some vital pieces of classroom equipment with hardware that would better suit the new normal, starting with the projectors used in each classroom throughout the school.

The school’s teachers quickly enjoyed dividends once the projectors were added to their classrooms as they immediately felt the convenience of not having a PC tethered to the projector, while also drastically reducing the time and hassle spent on getting presentations going. This enthusiasm led to a call for increased training with the device for the teaching staff. Students, beyond being impressed by having more innovative equipment at their disposal, felt more engaged since more of their work could be shared thanks to the projector’s wireless capabilities. Whereas at the outset of the pandemic the increased presence of mobile devices led to the IT staff (along with a majority of the teachers) spending an inordinate amount of time helping both students and parents troubleshoot their devices, the introduction of the EH600 quickly allowed the IT staff to return to their normal responsibilities, reducing staff frustration and increasing the actual time spent on coursework.

Despite the challenges that the pandemic has thrown at educational institutions such as Ibn Seena English High School, BenQ’s EH600 has found a way to allow each and every contributor in the school to easily adjust to these sudden changes so that the core mission of the school is able to stay intact.
