PPDS Partners With i3 Technologies for Education Software Solutions
PPDS (aka Philips) has partnered with education software solutions specialist i3 Technologies. Now, PPDS’ interactive touch screen displays come with access to i3LEARNHUB, i3 Technologies’ cloud-based digital creation and learning platform. The platform is designed to enable teachers to bring digital content to students, stimulate collaboration and prepare students with 21st-century learning skills.
Complementing the Philips T-Line’s existing features and capabilities, the addition of i3LEARNHUB provides teachers and students with access to a range of new educative and collaborative tools. i3LEARNHUB not only provides a library of tools and images, it also has a community of over 50,000 educational professionals that use it every day in the classroom.
Accessible via the i3MARKETPLACE, teachers (and content publishers) can make their own pre-created lesson plans, freely and openly available to the entire community for use and tailoring. i3LEARNINGHUB at a glance:
- Educational content for all ages: i3LEARNHUB offers exciting content creation resources ranging from a collaborative, digital whiteboard to a vast library of rich, digital content. This includes augmented reality (AR) and 3D content.

- Cloud storage: Save time and repurpose your meticulously curated private content repository (Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive) with i3LEARNHUB in one go. Your assets are available every time you open the i3LEARNHUB gallery. Manage the content individually or in bulk from your desktop explorer. There is no need to create or import weird file and folder formats.
- Capture anything and bring it to the classroom with i3LENS: Turn your phone/mobile device into a document camera and embed field trip pictures in lesson activities.
