With the cost of large format displays reducing, Digital Signage in Schools is seeing an increase from Primary right the way up to Universities. Digital Signage in Schools is about delivering up to the minute information to staff and pupils, moving away from traditional print material and cork notice boards and into a digital medium. As with many technologies as the cost reduces the opportunities to take advantage of these technologies becomes more attractive. Schools are awash with information and finding a way to deliver has always been a challenge. Traditional print or photocopies handed out or posted up around the campus are now becoming a thing of the past, as we as consumers are more accustomed to our information being delivered in bite size pieces in a digital format. Even our mobile phones now deliver more digital information than we could have imagined 10 years ago. Digital Signage in Schools is typically based on the deployment and installation of a series of large format displays, most likely LCD screens, which can be mounted in a number of different ways. The content to the LCD displays is delivered by some form of digital signage media player, which is either a separate box or embedded in the screen with the operating system being either windows based or possibly Linux. The media players can be installed behind the screen or in ceiling voids; they will require a power socket and normally are connected to the schools network infrastructure. As with any digital signage solution, the hardware is the easy bit, it’s the digital signage software application that will make or break the solution. The software needs to be easy to use, easy to manage and should have the ability to schedule the required content and the required time. Thought needs to be given to who has responsibility for creating the digital signage content and managing and scheduling of the content. The content can consist of images, videos, live TV, web pages, ticker text, RSS feeds and static text, some systems also allow the integration of data streams from other applications.
