A platform for personalized student experience and efficient facility management
When students decide where to attend university, the campus experience matters the most. Today’s students, raised in a tech-driven, connected world, expect more from higher education. Degrees and participation in the academic canvas are no longer top priorities for them. Presenting the future of higher education, Zyter, a leading digital health and IoT-enablement platform has announced the availability of Zyter Smart Universities–an Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity platform designed for campuses.
Zyter Smart Universities is a flexible, secure, scalable architecture that unlocks the full potential of connected IoT devices – including those already deployed – to deliver actionable intelligence that improves decision making, day-to-day management and long-term efficiencies. The platform will help campus administrators to gain complete visibility of what is happening across their entire network of connected sensors and IoT devices in real-time.
Zyter hopes that the platform will transform student life both on-and off-campus in three key areas:
Smart University and Connected Campus – Zyter Smart Universities will help higher education providers create a connected campus experience with embedded smart technologies and sensors for facilities and utility management, surveillance and security with video analytics, campus navigation, on-campus transportation, smart parking, and more. As a result, campus administrators will be able to maximize resource utilization, minimize waste, and lower operational and labor costs. Additionally, Zyter SmartSpaces delivers a consistent stream of data from all connected technologies to drive better analytical insights into both student behavior and campus operations.
Seamless Student Experience Management – Zyter Smart Universities will connect students and faculty for a more meaningful and productive campus experience. It will enable interactive smart whiteboard-based teaching, personal and real-time engagement with students on mobile devices through smart campus navigation, secure file transfer, and private group/broadcast messaging, as well as classroom chat. Faculty members will have access to a dynamic dashboard with student data and behavioral analytics to predict student outcomes, increase student participation in campus activities, and view and respond to any student issues.
Distance Learning and Online Collaboration – Online collaboration capabilities will provide students with unlimited access to educational resources in a seamless digital experience, especially valuable during the Coronavirus pandemic. As Smart Universities is one of the most secure remote learning platforms for continuing education, it can be used by higher education providers to attract a larger pool of remote students and boost enrollment. Zyter Smart classrooms will enable collaborative remote learning, using multiple tools like interactive smart whiteboards, smart annotation, analytics, smart videos and more.
“Zyter Smart Universities is the intelligent link that connects students, faculty and administrators to relevant data,” said Sanjay Govil, founder and CEO of Zyter, Inc.
