Challenge
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ghaf Primary School (GPS) had to make a rapid shift to virtual classrooms while keeping in mind the needs of the children, their safety, and their education. To ensure continuity of education, they felt an urgent need to upgrade their teaching solutions to avoid any gaps that could potentially occur as a result of this shift. With every student learning from separate places, and teachers teaching lessons in class or from their homes, they were faced with the need for an effective collaborative solution.
Solution
The installation of ViewBoards and the myViewBoard suite enabled Ghaf Primary School (GPS) to rise to the challenges presented by the pandemic. The combination of hardware and software solutions provided by ViewSonic meant they were able to seamlessly shift to remote teaching, and then hybrid models of teaching to adapt to the situation at hand. Students' learning experiences were minimally impacted as they were able to engage in interactive activities delivered via the myViewBoard software suite from the safety of their homes, then later in hybrid classroom setups.
