Digital Canvas: the Modern Classroom

Today's students live in a vastly different world of technology than the generations before them. Consuming content on multiple screens simultaneously is, for them, the norm. In this week's episode, professor Gary Kayye shows us that the future is happening now. In the modern classroom, the display is not a single monitor or projector connected to a single video source, but a complete digital canvas on which content may be positioned. Where traditional presentation systems ask "which single content do you want on the single display," this new approach to presentation asks "which content is most important right now," leaving other content on screen for context and background, ready to be called to the front at a moment's notice.

The Evolution of Office Space

Let's get it on the table: this is an episode about how COVID has affected the working world, although really, the pandemic only accelerated trends that were already taking shape for years. As workers start to return to the office, there are many unanswered questions. Will we all return to the office? As frequently as before? If not, then there will be a lot of unused space. How will that space be used? More conference rooms and collaboration spaces? A return to private offices? These questions have massive technical implications, but they are essentially driven by culture, not technology. Our guest Adam Cox is a senior analyst for Futuresource, who has had a front row seat to the changing dynamics of the AV space. He will share new insights based on thorough research to help us all understand: what is the future for the office?
