Education & Training Spaces

Choose an interactive panel when the teacher and students write on the content and the furthest seat is within a few metres; choose projection when the room needs a larger image than a panel offers, such as a lecture hall.

The Clevertouch IMPACT Lux 2 and OneScreen T7 panels come in 65, 75 and 86 inches with 4K resolution and built-in speakers. Projection needs a screen, such as a Da-Lite 84-inch matte white electric screen, and better control of daylight.

Several students can write at once, up to the panel's number of touch points, which on some panels also depends on the connected operating system. The Clevertouch IMPACT Lux 2 supports 50 touch points with a 400 Hz scan rate and palm rejection, so several pupils can write at once.

On the SMART Board MX V5, SMART lists 50 touch points on Windows and Mac, 32 on Android and 16 on ChromeOS. The OneScreen T7 uses pressure-sensitive IR touch with palm rejection and accuracy up to 1 mm.

Choose by the distance to the furthest seat and the smallest text that must be read. A 65-inch panel suits small classrooms and group rooms, a 75-inch panel a standard classroom, and an 86-inch panel larger classrooms and training rooms.

The Clevertouch IMPACT Lux 2, Clevertouch LUX for Enterprise and OneScreen T7 are each available in 65, 75 and 86 inches. When the furthest learners sit too far away for any panel, add projection or a second display.

Yes. Current panels run their own Android system for whiteboarding, browsing and apps. The Clevertouch IMPACT Lux 2 runs Android 15 with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage and is Google EDLA certified, which allows Google apps such as Google Workspace tools on the panel.

Many schools still connect a teacher laptop for their own files and learning platform. Check that the school's accounts and apps work on the panel before rolling it out to every room.

For a normal classroom, usually yes. The Clevertouch IMPACT Lux 2 has two 20 W front-facing speakers and two 10 W subwoofers, and the OneScreen T7 has dual 20 W speakers and a 25 W subwoofer.

Lecture rooms, large training rooms and rooms with remote learners need more: ceiling or wall speakers to cover the back rows, a microphone for the teacher's voice, and conference microphones so that remote participants can hear questions from the room.

Most panels accept wireless screen sharing from laptops, tablets and phones over the school network, and a wired laptop connection by USB-C or HDMI. The Clevertouch IMPACT Lux 2 and OneScreen T7 both have Wi-Fi 6E.

When every room should share the same way, whatever panel it has, a dedicated wireless presentation receiver gives one consistent method. Test sharing from the device types students actually use, including Chromebooks, before a full roll-out.

An NFC reader lets a teacher sign in to the panel by tapping a card, so their own cloud storage and settings load without typing a password in front of the class. The Clevertouch IMPACT Lux 2 has integrated NFC, and the OneScreen T7 has an NFC reader with card-based user login.

Sign-in also matters when the session ends: the panel should sign the teacher out, so the next class cannot open their files.

Mount it so the lower half of the screen is within reach of the youngest users and the top is visible from the back row. Panels of 65 to 86 inches need a wall mount or stand rated for their VESA pattern and weight.

A mobile trolley lets one panel serve several rooms, and a fixed wall mount keeps cables tidy in a dedicated classroom. Plan a power socket and a network point behind the panel position before the wall is finished.

A hybrid lesson needs a camera that shows the teacher and the board, microphones that pick up the teacher and students, and speakers so the room hears remote learners. A panel's built-in speakers cover playback in a classroom, but remote learners need dedicated pickup.

In larger rooms, a conference camera with expansion microphones covers the space; in small rooms, a video bar on the panel is often enough. Test the full lesson from the remote learner's side before term starts.

Plan with six facts: the number and size of rooms, the seating layout and distance to the furthest seat, how lessons are taught, the learning platform and accounts, whether sessions are streamed, and the daylight in each room.

These decide between a 65, 75 or 86-inch panel and projection, whether ceiling audio and conference microphones are needed, and which mounts or trolleys each room uses. Add the network and power points available at each display position.
