Communication in the learning environment has moved on quite significantly since the days of whiteboards and PowerPoint. It is now virtually a standard for any classroom or lecture theatre to incorporate diverse multimedia and rich-content sources, distributed and rendered with an array of high specification AV equipment, to give presenters' audiences the most immersive learning experience. Divisible teaching rooms, collaboration areas and huddle spaces can become more flexible and cost effective when deployed with adaptive and scalable control systems. Not only can this reduce capital costs; operational costs can also be streamlined by the leverage of centralised asset management and active monitoring.
