Desktop Projection System targets K-12 educational market

Montreal, Canada, June 15, 2000 - Today, Robotel, a leading global supplier of interactive, multimedia, classroom management systems, introduced the SC2000 CB control interface for its SmartClass computer classroom collaboration systems.

This new entry-level SmartClass computer collaboration system features a simple 3-button user-friendly control interface.

As simple to operate as a projector

"The new CB controller transforms SmartClass into an affordable desktop projection system for K-12 classrooms," says Gilles Leclerc, Robotel's Vice-President of Marketing. "Instructors can broadcast their computer screens to the whole class, blank all student screens or allow students to work independently. It's simple. It's affordable. It's like having a projection system where every student gets a front-row seat."

As shown below, the CB Controller is extremely user-friendly. Just select video broadcast, blank screen or individual work.

Broadcasting is used to display the instructor's screen to all student monitors. Blanking is used to blank all student monitors and focus students' attention on the instructor. For individual work, the SmartClass system resets all switching and allows students to return to their individual screens.
