Hello everyone, and happy spooky season! It’s me — your favorite host — back in your inbox with a pretty big issue of rAVe Ed! It has been quite the month in almost every AV vertical, but I don’t have to tell you guys that. From ISE being moved around to the same month as InfoComm and DSE being canceled forever as Exponation filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy — I am just trying to tread water over here.
It seems like most people agree, and the columns prove it! Let Scott Tiner walk you through some of the problems he has been having with Zoom over on the ed side — I think you all will agree with his frustrations. Also, we have a couple of features from our good pals at Futuresource Consulting. In the first, you can learn a little more about the thing we’ve been preaching until we’re blue in the face: hybrid learning. But is it our savior during COVID-19? Read to find out. The other Futuresource column is about esports education investment: another thing that Gary Kayye has been saying is important! Finally, Gary himself wrote a column for this issue that talks about some new (interesting) features that Microsoft Teams added in its most recent update.
Peep the product news below to learn about Epiphan’s latest encoder for its Pearl family, Epson’s new ultra-short-throw projectors, the update for Roland Cloud and more. Oh, and we can’t forget to give you the most recent information on Almo’s fall E4 Evolution dates. Check those out too.
Finally, there are a couple of case studies this time that I think you’ll find interesting. Catch Nureva’s HDL300 in action at Duquesne University, and Sony’s projectors at Minnesota State!
