The Product Introduction Course offers participants a comprehensive introduction to the new devices and applications. In this course, the interactive systems are explained in detail, the functionalities of the hardware and software are taught in a practical way. There is a particular focus on the integration of terminal devices. After the end of the course, participants are therefore capable of effectively integrating the new technologies in their workflows.

Contents:

• Interactive functionality explained in a practical way
• Introduction to hardware: displays, whiteboards, beamers/projectors
• Overview of whiteboard software: pens, objects, interaction
• Connectivity: easily connect mobile devices

Basic seminars last four hours or longer. For on-site seminars, i.e. at educational institutions, VS trainers bring a mobile training room with them. This means that up to ten participants can each use one device.

Contents:

• Interactive systems: Functions and practical application
• Hardware: Digital whiteboards, plug-in PCs, document cameras, soundbars
• Software: Whiteboard software, pens, object interaction
• Connectivity: Easily connect mobile devices

The target group are users who can confidently master and use the content taught in the basic seminar. This advanced seminar is aimed at people who have already acquired basic knowledge of dealing with interactive systems and want to broaden this knowledge.
The seminar offers advanced learners the opportunity to expand their skills in dealing with interactive systems. Practical exercises and examples of applications are used to ensure that the participants can directly apply what they have learned. The intensive training course puts the participants in a position to use complex applications safely and effectively.

Contents:

• In-depth coverage of the topics covered in the basic seminar
• Advanced functions: toolbars, links to websites and files
• Creating tests, games and animations

Multiplier training courses are aimed at employees who have or are to take on supporting tasks. The training courses can last one or several days. Up to ten people within an organization (school/school authority) can be trained in the use of the desired software and/or hardware. The aim is for the participants to be able to master a wide range of challenges independently. This prepares an offer of support services that enables self-sufficient work within the school network ("teach the teacher").

We conduct these training courses at the educational institutions on site or online via conferencing software, usually via Teams.

Contents:

• Consolidation of basic and advanced seminars
• Comprehensive expert training
• Error analysis and troubleshooting (hardware and software)
• Firmware installation and updates
• Integration and updating of external software
