From lecture halls to cow sheds: how PTZ cameras are upgrading online education

The webpage highlights how PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras have improved online education by providing high-quality video streaming for lectures and classes. It discusses the benefits of these cameras in enhancing remote learning environments by offering flexibility in camera angles and zoom capabilities. The page provides examples of educational institutions that have upgraded their setups with PTZ cameras to better engage students and facilitate interactive teaching. It emphasizes the role of these cameras in delivering clearer, more dynamic video content, which helps in maintaining student engagement and improving the overall learning experience. The case studies mentioned illustrate successful integrations and the positive impact on both teaching and learning outcomes. Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK) offers classes across seven different campuses in Finland, ranging from engineering subjects like Mechanics and IT to Biosystems and Bioengineering. This meant a high-tech, versatile system was needed across multiple departments to live stream and record teaching sessions, such as conference rooms, auditoriums, podcast studios as well as panel discussion events.
