The BenQ Board Allows Teachers to Access Programs and Files Using ClassLink, Ensuring Security, Enhancing Performance, and Facilitating Curriculum Flexibility

COSTA MESA, Calif. — May 2, 2023 — BenQ, an internationally renowned provider of visual display solutions, announced that its award-winning BenQ Boards seamlessly integrate with ClassLink, a global education provider of access and analytics products that create more time for learning and help schools better understand digital engagement. ClassLink is trusted by thousands of districts and higher education institutions, offering instant access to apps and files with single sign-on, streamlined class rostering, automated account provisioning, and actionable analytics. Using a BenQ Board setup with ClassLink is a secure and simple way to ensure teachers have what they need to do their best.

“It’s our mission to enhance teacher performance by integrating our BenQ Boards into an educator’s daily workflow — whatever that looks like — so that their smart board experience is seamless, powerful, and intuitive,” said Bob Wudeck, senior director of business development at BenQ Education. “While many brands of smart boards are built around proprietary curriculum software programs, a BenQ Board equipped with ClassLink facilitates the utmost flexibility by allowing teachers to use the apps, web apps, and files they need for lessons while speeding up the login process. Additionally, ClassLink’s customizable portal allows teachers to organize their resources and applications to suit their teaching style, further enhancing flexibility for both the curriculum director and teacher.”

BenQ and ClassLink Ensure Security

Identity management is a crucial aspect of technology integration in schools, and using a BenQ Board setup with ClassLink is a simple and secure way to ensure teachers have what they need to do their best. Every BenQ Board can be integrated into Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Azure, or Google Workspace systems. Then, using BenQ’s Single Sign-On (SSO) technology, administrators simply link ClassLink’s SSO directly to the teacher’s BenQ Board account so they can immediately access all their web applications and files with a single tap. This eliminates the need for multiple usernames and passwords, saving teachers valuable time. This also ensures the security of sensitive information stored on network and cloud drives.

ClassLink Trusted and Proven

ClassLink is a cloud-based teaching software platform that can simplify the login process for teachers and students to access their online teaching software. Using Single Sign-On (SSO) technology, teachers and students can access all their web applications and files with a single login. The platform connects to more than 6,000 digital learning resources, including publishers, reference providers, supplemental products, and learning management systems. Additionally, teachers can create custom groups of students and assign them specific applications and resources based on their needs. This allows teachers to tailor their lessons to individual students or groups of students, ensuring that they receive the support they need to succeed.

BenQ and ClassLink Enhances Teacher Performance

With ClassLink integration, every BenQ Board is equipped with SSO technology that enables instant teacher personalization from any connected board. Teachers no longer have to spend valuable classroom time logging into different applications and resources and can focus on teaching. With its advanced Identity and Access Management software, any BenQ Board can enable the teacher to access their programs using ClassLink with a single tap of a near field communication (NFC) card on the board or via a mobile device. The BenQ Board will instantly log into not only the teacher’s ClassLink account, but also their network drives, cloud drives, and personalize the board with the teachers’ apps and wallpaper so they can start teaching in seconds.
