Teaching Wall - from Ajenta
With many communication platforms, conversations just don’t flow when more than a few people are on the
call. The audio algorithms, purposely designed to cut out background noise and suppress echo, inhibit
conversation where people in the same space would talk over each other in a completely natural way; the way
you start to answer a question before the final word of the question has been asked, or as you agree and
reinforce what someone else is saying.
The Vscene service incorporates an audio algorithm that better enables conversations to flow, helping to create
an immersive, in-person feeling for those not physically present. Creating an equity of experience, so that
remote students feel more like their connecting through the screen rather than just looking at one, promotes
full participation and engagement, which both lead to better learning outcomes for your students.
Any negative impact on wellbeing reduces student participation, and utilising a platform that promotes
inclusivity and trust for remote students will, by its very nature, reduce any reluctance to engage digitally,
thereby reducing any anxiety and developing students confidence. For those students joining knowledge-
based employers after graduating, where hybrid working with video meetings will be expected, remote and
hybrid learning will provide them with key employability skills.
Ajenta’s Teaching Wall is a comparatively
inexpensive solution for remote and hybrid
teaching that brings remote students into
the learning space with all the nuances and
body language of being-there that tutors
can quickly pick up on.
Teaching Wall can be configured in many
different ways, and auto-scheduling means
there are no buttons to press to turn
systems on or connect with learners.
When its time for class, simply start
teaching…….
The Hybrid Classroom - Teaching Mode
Based on Ajenta’s Classroom Dual hardware and
configuration, this is a cost effective hybrid teaching
solution that doesn’t require teachers to learn a new
technology.
All the teacher needs to do is select ‘TEACH’ or ‘LEARN’
mode on a simple push-button control pad so that the
correct camera is selected.
In TEACH mode, the remote participants appear on the
screens behind the in-room students, and the camera on
the rear wall automatically tracks the teacher.
Interactive screens, visualisers, digital microscopes, etc.,
can be input into the configuration so that remote
students can clearly see the content.
A single raid array microphone will pick up the whole
classroom. This eliminates the need for the teacher to
wear a lapel microphone, and also ensures that any
student questions or contributions in the room are fully
audible to remote students.

Any digital devices can be viewed by students as separate video feeds
The Hybrid Classroom - Learn Mode
In LEARN mode, in-class and remote students can see and
hear a remote based teacher, and that teacher will enjoy a
view of all the students from the front wall camera.
This is an ideal configuration for incorporating remote
speakers - maybe a subject specialist or an industry
partner - and for teaching to two or more sets of students
on different campuses.
For collaboration between different HE and FE partners in
Institutes of Technology [IoT] or for multi academy trusts
[MATs] to reach more distributed students, the Hybrid
Classroom is becoming an indispensable learning
environment.
