Event Details
What is AV over IP and how can it impact your classroom support? As institutions are considering designing more classrooms with hybrid functionality, over-burdened and under-resourced technology teams are considering strategies and scalable models for streamlining classroom support. This webinar will discuss the benefits of designing AV over IP into classrooms and utilizing remote monitoring tools to provide a cost-effective way to manage and proactively support distributed classrooms across multiple campuses and locations.
In this March Power Hour we will:
- Identify institutional needs and functional requirements that influence AV over IP classroom support, including hybrid use cases, scalability considerations, and operational constraints across distributed campuses.
- Recognize key network planning and coordination considerations related to AV over IP classroom design, including alignment with existing infrastructure, collaboration with IT and network stakeholders, and implications for hardware and software network topology.
- Describe how AV over IP architectures and remote monitoring tools support ongoing system operations, including proactive support, performance awareness, documentation considerations, and maintenance planning for resource‑constrained technology teams.
