Introduction Audio visual interactivity is engaging students like never before! The impact of audio visual technology on our learning environments has been remarkable. From school classrooms where teachers use interactive tools to enrich the learning experiences of our children to university auditoria where lecturers and students connect and explore together, professional audio visual technologies are undoubtedly shaping the way we learn. Our colleges and universities are facing controversial funding decisions and are now dependent on capital purchases that offer better returns in terms of student experience and measurable educational results. Educational procurers are also under pressure to protect the life of the audio visual investments that have already been made and to exploit their technologies in new, more exciting ways. With more and more higher education establishments embracing AV technology and making long-term investments, selecting the correct solution is even more important. Today, new resources with a vast breadth of teaching capabilities bring new courses with more visually-enhanced content that reach new students, including distance-learners who work remotely and that build more productive relationships between teachers and their students. Our selection of AV solutions is designed to work with the financial constraints and academic standards that govern the educational sector and provide innovative and interactive solutions that improve both performance and collaborative learning outcomes.
