Digital Signage for the 21st-centrury School
400 School Screens Across 17 City Districts
St. Petersburg is Russia’s pioneer in enabling the state-of-the-art digital transformation of its schools.
The city’s administration has trusted SpinetiX digital signage technology for more than 7 years now to cater to the pedagogical, educational, social, and informational needs of the 21st-century school.
Challenges
The St. Petersburg’s Committee for Education was looking for ways to build and encourage dialogue with high-school students when planning to equip educational institutions throughout the city. The project was tasked with answering the following challenges:
- Provide a multifunctional visual channel of communication where students, teachers, and parents are informed about school curriculum and events on the go
- Create a unique social setting where students and teachers come to seek for information and exchange ideas with each other
- Inspire and involve students in the process of creating media content
- Promote a healthy lifestyle and advertise cultural and sporting events
- Ensure safety of school grounds by serving as a notification and alert system in case of emergency
- Use existing local networks without requiring deployment of new cyberinfrastructure
- Must be designed to operate 24/7 with minimal maintenance required
Solution
SpinetiX HMP Players – Easy to Scale, Robust, Reliable
The solution is based on deploying a series of digital info zones throughout public areas of schools and steps on the SpinetiX Complete Digital Signage Solution including the SpinetiX HMP media players for content distribution and Elementi digital signage software for content management.
Centralized Content Management with Elementi Digital Signage Software
Partners from SpinetiX Certified Gold Dealer TEKO who realized the project, train a school’s content specialist on creating content with Elementi software after which they are autonomous to create and distribute screen content on their own and to even aid students with developing materials and publishing by themselves.
