The trends in higher education have changed significantly over the past four years. Recently, with the help of Sony, the University of Rhode Island prepared itself for the new era of education inside and out of the classroom.
“Everyone was realizing that we needed displays and the ability to have hybrid meetings,” said Jeffrey Levesque, lead information technologist at URI. In addition to addressing its hybrid needs, URI also decided to obtain new projectors due to failures with its lamp projectors that required frequent replacements. URI decided to implement Sony’s laser projectors—a move that would be practical and cost effective due to not requiring lamp replacement. This also led to a related benefit of reduction in resource usage.
