A business would need to have a £100,000,000 a year turnover to have the same number of staff as a moderate school has students and teachers. If that business was then denied the use of email and phones to communicate with its staff the average CEO would give up and go home. This is the issue facing schools today.
A well implemented communications system using digital signage solves every communication system in a school which is why it works.
Start by putting important messages (such as messages combined with your intranet information) on large format LCDs at key locations in the school (areas like reception, entrances to the school, food halls, next to vending machines, in student unions). Reinforce the messages with lower cost smaller screens liberally spread in corridors and also on the PCs in IT suites and driving projectors in lecture theatres.
Zone every digital signage screen to combine local (faculty) messaging, head teachers messaging and ‘entertainment’ to keep the students watching (weather, Music TV etc) with it all framed on a designer ‘school branded’ background image. Set up members of staff to update their own areas of the screens (without effecting anyone else’s) and you have easy to update multi messaging communications.
Set up some behind the scenes ‘ready to play’ screen layouts such as ‘emergency please leave the building’ or ‘there will be a fire drill today at 10am’ and show key staff how to force these to play on all the screens. You now have a digital signage communications infrastructure for the 21st Century.
"Sedao provides a powerful communications tool within the college that has been proven to be effective and noticed by both students and staff."
