3 Technologies Your College Needs to Succeed This School Year

Tech expert Scott Thie reveals which 3 technologies will provide big benefits for instructors, students, and the college classroom.

He says that these microphones ensure students are engaged, and minimize instructors’ vocal strain.

Some of these microphones come with multiple recording formats to guarantee “superior audio,” such as directional mode (which shuts out background noise and records audio from one direction) and stereo mode (which enables users to record over a wide area).

New advancements, such as wireless microphones, are reducing the limitations users faced with older audio technology.

“New wireless microphones can be worn discretely around the neck, require less power than convention models, and allow for easy volume adjustments,” Thie says. “An integrated security alert button can also notify proper personnel of an emergency with customizable options of text, audio, and/or video feeds.”

Once these three technologies are implemented in higher education, Thie predicts that the classroom environment will improve, and that both students and teachers will have a more enjoyable learning experience.

“Schools today face new challenges, but with the help of technology such as enhanced audio, low maintenance projectors and campus digital signage, they can not only improve the campus environment but also how students learn and teachers teach,” he says.
