BenQ Launches First EDLA-Certified Interactive Displays with Google Mobile Services (GMS)

The RP04 and RM04 BenQ Boards both include the powerful teaching tools, EZWrite 6 and InstaShare 2. EZWrite 6 is BenQ’s innovative Whiteboarding Software that allows educators to teach lessons, take notes during class, import or display lesson content, and use a wide range of specialised classroom tools designed for different subjects. BenQ’s Wireless Screen-Sharing Solution, InstaShare 2, allows up to 9 students to simultaneously share and control their screens from their laptop, tablet, or smartphone on the BenQ Board. This tool can also split up the Board’s screen based on the number of mirrored devices so students can take turns sharing ideas without interrupting the flow of the lesson.

Schools that already have existing Google accounts can easily transition to using BenQ Boards without any extra setup. The BenQ Account Management System (AMS) allows administrators to sync their Google Workspace Directory and instantly move user accounts into the BenQ ecosystem. Directory syncing is also offered for schools that use LDAP, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory), ClassLink, and other SAML-based identity providers. Teachers can log in with their synced account and open their Google-hosted files directly from their BenQ Boards with their school accounts. Teachers can scan a QR code with their smartphone for quicker login or use one-tap login with their school-issued NFC cards. The BenQ Device Management Solution (DMS) allows IT admins to control their BenQ Board settings remotely and effectively. With DMS, they can monitor device analytics, manage apps, push device updates, and configure the power settings of both individual and groups of BenQ Boards.

BenQ Boards are the only Interactive Displays for Education with a full-fledged set of health-focused ClassroomCare® features aimed at creating healthy learning environments. Both the Pro and Master Series are equipped with Eyesafe® Certified 2.0 screens that help to protect students’ and teachers’ eyes from high-energy blue light, which has been shown to cause eye strain and long-term vision-related issues. The Eyesafe® screens can do this while still maintaining optimal colour performance. “Being the first in the Interactive Display industry to obtain Eyesafe Certified 2.0 is a clear testament to BenQ’s Healthy Learning commitment. We ensure teachers and students have access to the highest quality education tools that are not only prioritising positive outcomes but also safeguarding health with our ClassroomCare® technologies,” says Jonathan Lee, BenQ Business Manager ANZ. The BenQ Board Pro also features Air Quality Sensors that monitor the levels of CO2, PM2.5, and other toxic pollutants in the classroom. This has the effect of keeping students more alert, improving their cognitive ability, and safeguarding their respiratory health. The RP04 takes this one step further with its built-in Air Ioniser that helps reduce particulate matter in classrooms. In addition, both boards have certified Antimicrobial Screens and peripherals that reduce the risk of germ transmission.
