Better Engagement and Wellness with AI Technology
myViewBoard Sens can help schools gain insights into student engagement and foster an active learning environment. It detects students’ attentiveness by analyzing human pose and environmental factors that may affect students’ focus. These data help teachers make adjustments to their lessons.
As the pandemic continued, student wellness became an increased area of focus. Schools faced challenges with ensuring health and safety in classrooms. With myViewBoard Sens, schools can accurately measure wellness compliance. The data includes temperature, humidity, occupancy rate, audience masking, and close contact index.
To help schools monitor and manage classrooms easily, a dashboard shows these indexes and calculates the engagement and compliance levels in all rooms. If the ratings are not as expected, measures can be taken using the tailored suggestions on the dashboard, such as adjusting lesson plans or teaching environment.
Open Learning Format: Driving Openness in EdTech
The company’s myViewBoard platform is cloud-based and operable across multiple operating systems, which includes Windows, Android, and, in the latest update, iOS.
ViewSonic’s development of .olf is an extension of the company’s open-ecosystem approach. It is an open standard file format that works on any device or digital whiteboarding software. It provides a common and extendable file format that is simple to open, edit, and save. By solving file-conversion and compatibility issues, .olf represents a major breakthrough in the digital learning industry.
Universe: Forging the Future of Learning
Universe By ViewSonic, an interactive 3D world for education, is ViewSonic’s latest innovation in education technology. The development started in the first quarter of 2021 when the world was largely impacted by COVID-19, to address the challenges of using incumbent remote learning tools and applications.
Universe is a fit-to-purpose meta-learning space that provides transformative education technology to forge the future of learning. ViewSonic is exploring ways of co-creating with schools across the US, Europe and Greater Asia, such as the School of Education, University of Wolverhampton in the UK to bring this vision to life.
