Hi, #EDtweeps! Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week filled with all things audiovisual. My favorite news piece this week was actually a case study out of British Columbia. Thompson Rivers University used Extron’s NAV Pro AV-over-IP transport system in its nursing program facility, and they installed an array of products like displays and an augmented reality system. It’s a seriously cool way to educate students!
We all know that education is extremely important, both to nursing majors and to anyone new to the audiovisual industry. As we enhance education to be the best it can be, we also must address the things that hold us back. That’s why AVIXA’s “Inclusive Language Guide” is so important to the future of the AV industry. Scott Tiner takes us through the guide in his latest piece. My favorite quote says, “I am confident the overwhelming majority of our industry does not want to exclude people. While learning these changes may not be easy, it is a very concrete way to avoid exclusion.”
That’s it for this week’s newsletter, AV pros and fans. I encourage you to check out the new JVC Professional PTZ cameras, easily operated by remote controls. Though they won’t be available until later this year, I wonder how you could use these in your educational setting? Let me know!
