To become a truly 21st-century educational institution, schools need to adopt interactive whiteboards. However, with a variety of solutions on the market, it's a challenge to choose the one that best fulfills faculty and student needs: such as ease of use, enhanced collaboration, and seamless integration with your school’s cloud environment.

Education technology provider BenQ has a range of interactive flat panel (IFP) solutions that tick every box as well as resolve challenges you didn’t even know you had. Here we’ve gathered four unique ways in which BenQ digital whiteboards enable your school’s digital transformation.

Once an afterthought, health considerations that come with new devices are now being pushed to the front of the conversation. A unique value of BenQ interactive whiteboards is that they include an Air Quality Sensor that lets users know when CO2 quantities in a crowded classroom reach unhealthy levels, making everyone drowsy.

What’s more, the TÜV-certified Germ Resistant Screen is covered with a multilayer coating of a non-toxic, durable nano-ionic silver agent that kills most bacteria and viruses accumulated during daily use.

Lastly, BenQ IFPs are the world’s first to offer Flicker-free technology that effectively reduces eye strain problems caused by looking at screens all day. BenQ Education IFPs also automatically activate a Low Blue Light feature by detecting the movement of users close to the screen.

One of the top concerns mentioned by users in the primary education space is cloud functionality.

BenQ IFP’s Account Management System (AMS) connects to teachers’ personal cloud storage applications such as Google Drive or Dropbox. This means that every time a teacher logs into an IFP using their NFC card, they can access all their files and personal settings immediately without entering a password. The system also enables IT staff to efficiently manage various user logins and data access.
