Parkland School District decided to work with Applied Video Technology (AVT) to deploy a large-scale IP video system from Exterity. It has been trialed initially in Kratzer Elementary, where each classroom is equipped with an AvediaPlayer Receiver set-top box so that content can be distributed across the school. The system is also used to digitize educational DVDs to create a Video on Demand library for teachers that can be shared across the school.
Robert Uhl, Telecommunications Specialist at Parkland School District, said: “It is vital for us to ensure the learning infrastructures in our schools are best equipped so that our students, both current and future, can make the most out of these important years in the classroom. This is why transitioning to an IP video system is so important for us. With this Exterity system, we can
help teachers utilize supportive resources to ensure that they offer compelling teaching methods that resonate with students. We are eleven schools strong now but are building more elementary schools to cater to Allentown’s growing young minds, so we look forward to growing this system.”
