One of the key benefits of EaaS is ease of integration within the Google ecosystem.
“A typical workflow would be for IT to enroll the panels easily in their existing Google management console during the installation and set up the applications teachers need,” explains Ruben Caputo, vertical marketing manager for education at ViewSonic. “Once teachers turn on the board, they can sign in with their existing Google credentials and have the apps auto-populate. This makes it easy for teachers to integrate our displays with their existing classroom tech.”
Other EaaS benefits include:
Data security and compliance measures: As educational technology becomes more integrated, ensuring the security and privacy of student data is crucial. Touch-interactive panels are implementing robust security measures to protect sensitive information and comply with data protection regulations.
Scalability: The EaaS approach makes it easy for schools to scale their technology infrastructure with evolving needs, such as fluctuations in the number of students or changing educational requirements.
Simplicity: EaaS also requires minimal maintenance; updates and patches are constantly pushed out to ensure schools are using the latest versions of software. This allows users to benefit from ongoing improvements without the need for significant IT intervention, Caputo points out.
Community: Collaboration tools within EaaS models promote communication and interaction among students, teachers and parents, which can enhance the overall educational experience and foster a sense of community. For example, ViewBoard IFP52 2ED display users can configure different panel profiles to create a unique, customized experience in scenarios where more than one educator uses the board.
