Connected digital education is about Connecting learners, educators and institutions through accessible data, preferred affordable rates and additional benefits to keep your learners & schools always switched on.
We are making connectivity & “school as usual” possible for more students, educators & schools – bridging the affordability gap and giving more access to those who really need it whilst providing them with more of the things they are interested in, more opportunities for engagement and more opportunities to share their world’s and increase their knowledge with others.
Helping students
Not only is technology helping students access class content, but is also improving their digital literacy, a key skill in today’s society.
Helping educators
Collaboration tools can give educators new ways to understand how students are progressing with their learning and gives them the ability to share feedback with them in real-time, guiding them through their learning. Educators can use planning software to prepare tasks and content ahead of time and automate time consuming tasks, in order to have more spare time to spend with their students, focused on their development.
Helping schools
By using technology in the classroom, both educators and students can develop essential digital skills. Modern learning is about collaborating, problem solving and developing different forms of communication – all of these skills are put into action through digital education.

Here’s how it all works
This solution provides a contactless screening process which decreases the risk of further infections using our Thermal Camera or IR SMART devices in partnership with IoT.nxt. This solution can be integrated with existing access control systems such as magnetic locks or turn styles, to ensure that individuals that have abnormal or high temperatures are not permitted to enter the building. By doing this you minimize the risk of further contact with healthy individuals while providing a record of every entrant and breach that is detected to ensure compliance.
