Vivi combines wireless screen mirroring, digital signage, emergency alerts and announcements into a single communication and engagement solution for schools. Designed specifically for K-12 schools, Vivi leverages a school’s network of connected displays to enable effective and efficient sharing of content, in classrooms and across a school building. In a classroom, teachers can wirelessly share their screens to a classroom display from anywhere in the classroom or give permission for up to four students to share their screens simultaneously while retaining full control at all times from the Vivi app. Built-in instructional tools, such as screenshots and whiteboards add even more interactivity. Vivi can also be used for schoolwide communications, allowing school leaders to send a live video or text message to a single classroom display or group of displays, share always-on content when displays are not being used for instruction, or supersede anything on the screen in an emergency situation.

Formats/platforms used:

Vivi is completely device and operating system agnostic. It can be paired with any flat panel display, interactive flat panel or projector.

Problem solved:

Vivi is the only all-in-one communication suite designed exclusively for education as a single solution for wireless screen sharing, digital signage, emergency alerts and announcements. Vivi connects to any screen including TVs, IFPs, and Projectors to connect students, teachers and staff. It is device and operating system- agnostic, creating an easy-to-use interface for everyone from IT to teachers and students, to guest presenters.

The full set of Vivi’s communication capabilities includes Video and Text Announcements, as well as Digital Signage for routine, planned communications and Emergency Alerts for more urgent communications. Together they provide a robust schoolwide communication platform for leaders to touch base with their community members, remind students of goings-on at school, share timely information, or simply call a student to the office.

In classrooms, Vivi’s wireless screen sharing is reliable and easy to use, untethering teachers from the front the classroom and encouraging student participation. Teachers can deliver dynamic lessons from anywhere in the room. This enables them to work with small groups of students, provide additional support to a struggling student (i.e. engage in proximity teaching), or just move around the classroom while teaching. They can also allow up to four students to share their screens simultaneously with the power to preview student content and end student sharing at any time. Built-in instructional tools add even more value for students and teachers, reducing the need to switch to another platform or tool.

Characteristics:

Vivi stands alone as the only solution of its kind designed specifically for education. User feedback is a key part of our product development, ensuring Vivi meets current challenges. It also means instructional tools like screen capturing, annotations, whiteboard backgrounds and drawing tools are built in, not bolted on. We empower teachers with the ability to preview all student content before allowing screen sharing, as well as end sharing at any time. Furthermore, students cannot access screen sharing until a teacher has enabled the classroom.
