The university was seeking a superior and more engaging and immersive technology for its new facility in order to deliver programmes for its graduate and post-graduate cohorts. The mashme.io Room of the Future was chosen as part of a new initiative to provide a world-class teaching and learning hybrid environment for students and faculty.
The Comillas Conecta Lab is a flexible space that accommodates students both remotely and on-campus, to collaborate in a more personalized manner, regardless of location. The large 18 screen UHD video wall, in a 6×3 layout, renders 40 life-size images of remote students in Real-time. The exceptional low latency and mashme’s ‘shared memory’ patented technology enables natural conversation to flow between all participants. Presenters can switch seamlessly between content without delay, share material, collaborate on documents and participate in polls as if they were all sitting in the classroom.
“The installation of the mashme.io Room of the Future is part of an ambitious initiative that Comillas Conecta Lab constitutes. As a space for educational innovation, it aims to offer a unique training experience to students and teachers, in which the educational objectives are delivered in a more effective and profound way, explains Antonio Obregón García, Vice-Rector for Academic Planning and Teaching Staff. We take further steps in our purpose of integrally training students by using the most appropriate resources at our disposal, as is undoubtedly the case with the mashme.io Room of the Future. “
The Room of the Future technology was designed from inception to deliver solutions for higher education and corporate training. As such, the mashme.io feature-rich platform is continually being developed to meet the needs of the demanding and accelerated growth within the edtech sector.
