What challenges do you currently see for educational institutions when it comes to integrating technology, and how can they be overcome?
Kreuzer: Educational institutions face the challenge of using limited budgets effectively. In addition, the integration of new technologies requires acceptance and extensive training for teachers to ensure their effective use. Often the necessary IT infrastructure and technical support are lacking, which makes implementation difficult. BenQ supports educational institutions and integrators with customized training, simple installation and maintenance solutions, and products that are easy to use and promote acceptance.
What do you think the future of technology in educational institutions will look like and what developments do you expect in the market?
Kreuzer: The market for interactive displays will continue to grow in the education sector. They offer versatile teaching methods, facilitate collaborative learning and access to digital resources. They enable real-time feedback and support students with different needs. Overall, interactive displays increase motivation and prepare pupils and students for modern technologies. Furthermore, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient devices are increasingly in demand. In addition, the protection of sensitive data is becoming more important with increasing digitization, with BenQ relying on secure and data protection-compliant solutions.
