Emmanuel College, with its campuses in Altona and Point Cook, is dedicated to providing quality educational experiences that unlock the potential of its students. As a Catholic school, Emmanuel focuses on the holistic development of each individual, nurturing their academic, social, emotional, spiritual, and physical growth. To support their commitment to excellence, the college has formed a longstanding partnership with DIB Audiovisual, an industry leader in audiovisual solutions.
Seamless Integration of Technology for Collaborative Learning:
As a project-based learning school, Emmanuel College places great emphasis on incorporating contemporary technology into its classrooms. However, the existing equipment fell short of supporting the dynamic learning and teaching strategies being implemented by the college.
Recognising the need for a comprehensive audiovisual solution, Emmanuel College turned to DIB Audiovisual for guidance.
DIB’s expertise and dedication to finding the perfect solution led to the largest rollout of CommBox products in Australia. Over 150 individual displays, both installed and portable, were strategically placed across the St Pauls and Notre Dame Campuses. This deployment allowed for seamless collaboration between students and teachers, empowering them to explore, create, and learn in a technologically advanced environment.
The Power of CommBox and ViVi Partnership:
A significant component of the collaboration between Emmanuel College and DIB Audiovisual lies in the combination of CommBox and ViVi technologies. The college sought a solution that would not only meet their current needs but also remain relevant as technology evolves. CommBox and ViVi, both cloud-updatable systems, ensure that the college stays at the forefront of educational technology.
CommBox, known for its exceptional quality, provides consistency throughout the school, while ViVi, a wireless presentation device, offers effortless screen mirroring and collaboration capabilities. This powerful partnership enables teachers and students to engage in dynamic and interactive learning experiences, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and active participation within the classroom.
Intelligent Planning and Meticulous Coordination:
The successful integration of audiovisual technology required meticulous planning and coordination. DIB Audiovisual conducted thorough room-by-room reviews, carefully measuring each space to determine the optimal positioning of CommBox Displays. To ensure an immersive learning environment, existing whiteboards were relocated, power and data connections were reconfigured, and panel heights were adjusted based on the unique characteristics of each classroom.
The college’s science rooms presented a particular challenge, with displays positioned higher due to island benches. In several instances, displays had to be mounted on floor stands to accommodate windows and operable walls. DIB Audiovisual’s attention to detail ensured that every classroom offered an optimal viewing experience, allowing students to fully engage with the educational content presented.
A Partnership that Exceeds Expectations:
Throughout the project, DIB Audiovisual’s professionalism and dedication were evident. They actively collaborated with the school and installers, managing the project to an excellent level. To ensure a smooth transition, DIB coordinated workshops with staff to familiarize them with the audiovisual systems, complemented by comprehensive training documentation and videos from CommBox.
Emmanuel College praised DIB Audiovisual’s commitment to understanding their needs and sourcing the best solution. The collaboration between DIB, CommBox, and the college’s IT department resulted in a user-friendly system that benefits both students and staff. With a fleet of over 150 displays to manage, the simplicity of system management ensures efficient operations for the in-house IT department.
Conclusion:
The partnership between Emmanuel College and DIB Audiovisual exemplifies the transformative power of technology in education. Through the seamless integration of CommBox and ViVi technologies, the college has created an immersive learning environment where students and teachers can thrive. For educational institutions seeking to enhance their audiovisual capabilities, DIB Audiovisual stands as a reliable and innovative partner.
