EDUCATION

“How much do we use Artome M10? All the time! It is so simple to use… We had a pop-up school here and the teachers.. came a bit early to see how the technology works and does it need any additional downloads or software to support presenting. They were surprised how easy it was -just plug an HDMI-wire to the laptop and you are good to go”

Ulla Hemminki-Reijonen Community Manager of Helsinki Education Hub.

The open plan office has been the favourite layout for designers and companies for some time. Not only does it make sense for space planning, it encourages teamwork and collaboration. However, this can be to the detriment of noise levels. The explosion in the use of video conferencing has created a new dimension to this challenge. Having a Zoom call in an open plan office is never a popular decision.

Research suggests that noise and distraction impacts wellness, productivity and even financial performance, yet executives aren’t doing enough to address the problem.

In the Oxford Economics study, 63 percent of employees said they lack quiet space for focused work, which has a negative effect on their productivity, satisfaction and wellbeing. Indeed, employees in the noisiest office environments are more likely to say they may leave their job in the next six months.

96 percent of executives see employee productivity as critical to their financial performance, yet just 40 percent understood the link between noise, distraction and productivity.

Increasing valuable studying time.

A Post-pandemic world has re-written the requirements of education technology.

Schools everywhere have entered an era where the ways of studying have changed permanently. It was very challenging during the Global Pandemic for Schools to meet the demands of remote learning. Flexible and futureproof audio-visual solutions are no longer only desirable, but vital. Together Welltek and Artome are providing user-friendly, well designed, and adaptable products to support learning environments everywhere.

Valuable studying time can be lost when using non-efficient communication technology. Flexible and easy-to-use solutions are desperately needed to enable dynamic learning environments. One of the most important things is the display size readability in a classroom. Research* shows 58% of students in an average classroom cannot read content on a 70-inch flat panel, so size does matter.

Bringing focussed silence to Education.

Successful educational environments are often hives of activity, full of inspiration and active learning. But it can be difficult to find calm, quiet places to do focussed work away from all the noise. Welltek’s soundproof pods have been chosen by several UK Universities to enable students and staff to take some time out from the noise, and to give them guaranteed silence to evolve their ideas.
