Pathways SM™ is an integrated module that enables districts to centrally control, manage and schedule classroom devices, including projectors, document cameras, DVD players and digital cameras. In addition, teachers can schedule and control district-based devices.
At the district level, this integrated software enables personnel to manage the schedule for shared district devices such as a head-end cache of DTV Tuners, DVD players or a conference room PTZ camera used for remote lecturers. Districts can also centrally manage and control classroom projectors to help monitor bulb life, extend bulb life through the All-Off feature and monitor filter status. Our Classroom Media Controller (CMC) and SAFARI Montage® Digital Signage products, when used in conjunction with Pathways SM™, offer many video display options, including school-wide video announcements like live school news or emergency messages (video and audio) through the All-Call feature.
In the classroom, Pathways SM™ provides teachers with full-function control of both remote and local classroom appliances, such as a projector or other display device, DVD/VCR players and audio systems — all within a unified interface that simplifies technology in the classroom for even the most technology-reluctant teachers. Devices are defined by the user and their assigned rooms so that teachers view only the media resources which they need to see, making it incredibly simple for teachers who move from one classroom to another throughout the school day.
Fully integrated with SAFARI Montage®, Pathways SM™ provides district IT staff with the ultimate control and management of classroom and district-shared devices throughout their entire district.
