"What’s exciting about the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is that it’s not obtrusive, it’s not something you have to work around. It truly supports the conversation this room is designed to be a catalyst for."
– Doug Dickel, Director of the Executive MBA Program

Challenge
The program needed a room that would facilitate a collaborative learning style by meeting some specific requirements. For example, the teaching faculty needed a lot of whiteboarding space, the technology had to facilitate discussion, and students in every part of the room had to be able to see what the teacher was writing.
SMART Solution
Villanova added an In-Wall Rear Projection SMART Board interactive whiteboard to the center of their main classroom. The image from the interactive whiteboard is also re-projected to two 100-inch screens on either side of the room, ensuring that all students can see the information being presented. Using Notebook software, professors now have limitless whiteboarding space. Faculty can enhance and encourage conversations by capturing key points on the interactive whiteboard. They can then save the notes and e-mail them to students.
Results
Students and faculty have discovered that the interactive whiteboard saves time, makes classes more efficient and enhances learning.
