Over the years we have done a lot of work in the education sector. What we have learned is that classrooms are core to the mission of all educational organizations. They are the primary locations that schools, colleges, and universities serve their customers. It is for this reason that a special attention to design and quality is required. Professors and teachers of all ages must be able to quickly and confidently operate the technology in the room. It can quickly become embarrassing to the teacher if things do not go well when operating the technology. Second, students judge the value of the education they receive in part by the quality of the facilities where they learn. this makes classrooms an important marketing tool to recruit new students and keep existing students engaged.

This project had 4 identical rooms all running the same program to keep consistency between the rooms. Remote monitoring of the classrooms and their technology was provided through Crestron Fusion to the central support department. Crestron lighting controllers were used to provide daylight harvesting and maintain a consistent lighting level in the room throughout the day.

For some devices there are too many controls and a lot are rarely used but still must be provided. This is when it can make sense to provide a second page when the full controls are required. Compare the two screenshots below for the Blu-ray player.

Moving similar controls to a subpage helps to provide order and improve the user decision time.
