Key Highlights

BenQ Solutions

BenQ is transforming traditional classrooms into interactive, AI-powered learning environments at Windrose Academy in Cairo, Egypt.

Windrose Academy International School is a forward-thinking institution focused on inquiry-based, student-centered learning. As part of its digital transformation journey, the school aimed to move beyond fragmented classroom tools and create a unified, interactive ecosystem that enhances both teaching delivery and student participation.

To achieve this, Windrose Academy deployed 64 units of BenQ RE8604A2 86" EDLA-certified interactive whiteboards across classrooms, labs, and activity spaces—establishing a consistent, scalable, and fully integrated digital learning environment.

At the core of the transformation is the BenQ board ecosystem powered by Android 14, EZWrite 6, InstaShare 2, AMS (Account Management System), DMS (Device Management System), and X-Sign Broadcast, enabling seamless teaching, centralized control, and real-time communication across campus.

Teachers now use AI-powered tools such as Text-to-Speech, Multilingual Translation (including Arabic), OCR, Handwriting Recognition, Shape Recognition, AI Style Transfer, AI Background Removal, and EZMath, making lessons more interactive, adaptive, and inclusive on an interactive whiteboard.

Educators, including Monique Hanif, Mai Nasr, and Hadeel Ayman, highlighted how EZWrite 6’s floating tools, annotation features, split-screen capabilities, and Google Slides import as editable objects have significantly improved lesson delivery and classroom interaction using the BenQ Board.
