Brenau University Moves to Mondopads for a More Engaging, Functional Class Experience

Brenau University also installed a point-tilt-zoom camera with its Monopads so that distance learning students can see their classmates and feel like they are actually sitting in the classroom. Photo by Brenau University.

Monopads enable students and instructors to connect any personal device to it. Jystad says this capability enables better group experiences in the classroom. Photo by Brenau University

Tips For Moving to Mondopads

“It is also a great idea for the integrator to have the Mondopads shipped to his location first, in order to install the Windows updates, the latest versions of the Mondopad firmware/software, and to configure customer preferences in an “assembly line” fashion prior to taking them to the customer location. These updates can sometimes take time to download and configure, and if not installed and configured in advance, will increase the installation crew’s time in the field.”
-Barry Alpert, Account Executive of AGT

1) Think outside the classroom

Jystad says colleges should think of other applications for the Mondopad, especially outside of the classroom.

He says it can increase the amount of information shared between parties, and enable live interactions between anyone, anywhere.

“Think bigger than the classroom,” he says. “Mondopads bring the endless amount of digital information in to the classroom as well as live interactions with other people from around the world…everything is possible with a Mondopad.”

2) Decide if Mondopads are the right fit

Odom says even though Mondopads were a great solution for Brenau University, they might not be a good fit for every college.

He says colleges should invest in a solution the best fits students’ needs and integrates well in an educational environment.

“I would say Mondopads have been a great fit for us, but, [schools] should evaluate different products to see what works best for their environment,” Odom says. “It’s mainly about the students, so whatever’s going to enhance their experience, whether it’s Mondopads or another type of solution, that’s what they need to go with.”
