Computers have become an integral part of our lives in the University or in the corporate training centre (the Corporate University) and it's hard to imagine writing reports, conducting research or delivering presentations without them. But while computers assist us at our desks and laptops keep us connected on the road, most group spaces are completely devoid of technology.

Wouldn't it be great to have control of all of your PC content just by touching the hard coated surface of your whiteboard? The award wining SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard offers just that level of support and more.

With a SMART Board interactive whiteboard, you can access and control computer-based information in the meeting room simply by pressing on the interactive whiteboard's touch-sensitive surface. Just walk up and touch the screen. You can control your computer as you would with a mouse, write in digital ink over any file or website and save your notes and images.

SMART Board™ is the premium tool for organisational face-to-face communication and a critical technology for consultants, researchers or professors to coach syndicate groups in organisations or in advanced higher education programs.


How can we help?

groupVision can assist you gearing your organisation training strategy toward a corporate standardisation on SMART Technologies collaboration platform. Results are outstanding when innovative technology is coupled with robust well tested work practices, delivering a net result that is more powerful than you could ever imagine. Making shared visions a driving force.

The major challenge for any organisation lies in finding the right balance between sharing both explicit and tacit organisational knowledge to its new employees. Whilst explicit knowledge can be easily shared via in-company manuals or on-line training, tacit knowledge requires a degree of one-to-one coaching that cannot be found in books. Tacit knowledge involves passing on systems thinking, fuzzy concepts and conceptual models that are better expressed with pictures and diagrams than with words.

SMART products are the ideal tool for you to maximise your presentation or lecture. You can engage your audience, increase interactivity and produce the right impressions. SMART products offer the freedom to interact with and engage your students while delivering a digitally-based lecture. All you need to do is touch the screen with the pen and you can control computer applications or write in digital ink, while your audience sees the same image projected on a large screen.


Group VisionAn effective presentation is more than just words spoken. A strong message is based on both verbal and nonverbal communications. That's why specialised training on the use of SMART Technologies award winning products is the perfect solution for higher education or effective corporate training.

With SMART Sympodium™ interactive pen you control pace and flow, making learning an active, dynamic process. And it's all done from one location. Whether you're using material you have created or you're referencing secondary sources, you can incorporate all of it in your lecture. Refer to a film scene from a DVD, listen to music or look at blog entries on the Internet - all of these and more can be easily integrated into your presentation. When finished, save your notes into one convenient file that you can share with your students and colleagues.

If you are collaborating with a few colleagues, you can work from where you're sitting. If you are presenting in a larger setting, the Sympodium interactive pen display allows you to comfortably interact with your material without losing eye contact with your audience. When finished, save your notes into one convenient file that can then be distributed in several formats. Get in touch if you want to learn how to maximise the use of your digital presentations, making that content more interactive and perfectly customised for any kind of audience.

 


Several Universities in Spain can be mentioned as references, namely the prestigious Universidad de Salamanca that has recently stantardized in SMART Board to support a new mode of teaching.

groupVision is proudly associated with this project by delivering a training program specifically designed for university teachers. Our senior consultant Fernando de la Prida, has a distilled experience of more than 25 years in adult education and business presentations. After this 2 days session, a pilot program was established and currently all the faculties have several SMART Boards in operation.
