3Why Digital Signage is a Campus Game-Changer
INTRODUCTION
Your digital signage success hinges on creating a unique and
integrated campus experience for students, faculty, alumni and
visitors. With a 10% year-over-year growth for signage in the
education sectori, it’s no wonder campuses are increasingly
recognizing the potential value for their own application. The
ever-expanding range of solutions from simple screens to high-
end SoC networking with touch and remote management makes
digital signage a near-perfect answer for the communication
demands faced by campuses across the country. Afterall, the
more eyeballs you attract, the quicker you achieve a return on
investment and start to profit from your digital signage
installation.
From classroom to faculty messaging, campus communication
has remained a prime challenge for education institutions. While
many have filled gaps with a range of social and email tools, digital
signage is quickly becoming a preferred channel for on-campus
communication with 40% of institutionsii are in agreement that
signage is important for the future and 96% of studentsiii noticing
and appreciating signs.
Screens, like LG's commercial displays, are thinner and more
durable than ever before. They enable campuses to cut paper
and ink use to improve mapping and wayfinding efficiency,
centralize emergency broadcasting, add real-time class and
faculty updates and generate revenue through advertisements.
The question is how do you create a digital signage network
that can keep up with the ever-changing habits of students,
faculty and campus attendees? Aside from the placement of
signage on campus, other factors are equally important. The
right combination of digital signage hardware, software and
content all play an important role in reaching your ultimate
goal; increased brand awareness, student and faculty
engagement and revenue.
Let’s take a tour of digital signage and how it makes a difference
in the education market.

DELIVERING THE
MESSAGE DIGITALLY
Signage and displays of yesteryear are not only antiquated;
they are limited in applications. The education community
can no longer live with delayed information, blind spots and
unimaginative learning tools. It’s time to solve the real needs
of the students, faculty and the administration.
Progressive and innovative technology stimulates creativity,
captivates attention and eliminates the use of old school
communications. Digital signage provides solutions for
obvious issues like campus navigation, event notices and
auditorium displays. They also solve the not-so-obvious
difficulties currently experienced in the cafeteria, library,
computer labs, student unions and specialty rooms like
campus auditoriums, fitness facilities and student housing.
Today’s digital signage models are thinner and lighter than
ever before. No longer are displays square or rectangular
screens mounted on a wall. New form factors like dual-
sided, concave and convex applications are now becoming
increasingly popular. It’s not uncommon to see digital
signage that can hang from the ceiling, sit off a wall or be
placed on the floor.
MAKING A GREAT
FIRST IMPRESSION
An attention-getting digital display located at campus
entrances will welcome everyone, enhance your brand,
create pride among the student and faculty base and
display the key dates and times of a wide variety of events.
Digital signs located in lobbies or administrative areas can
serve to greet guests with personalized messages,
entertain visitors in waiting areas and provide a more pleasing
atmosphere to anyone who sets foot on your campus.
Interactive digital kiosks located throughout campuses are
an excellent means of providing wayfinding, making it easy
for everyone to locate destinations with ease. Best of all,
they're easy to update in real-time.
Placed in key common areas throughout your campus,
digital signage can drive interest and boost attendance for
campus events. They can serve as digital donor boards,
recognizing those who have contributed to the school,
promote personal recognition and highlight various
achievements by students and faculty. In the end, the
dynamic nature of digital signage allows you to display an
immersive multimedia experience that is far more dramatic
to view than a static poster.

The content you choose to publish can be managed
through an Intranet or Internet network from a single
location or remotely using mobile devices, such as a
smartphone or tablet to alert you of any system issues.
Multiple displays can be grouped as a single zone to display
the same content within the selected zone, or throughout
the entire campus with the ability to schedule when and
how long the information will be displayed. Various cloud
solutions such as Dropbox, Google Drive or One Drive, can
be used to store and update content.
A network of digital displays can easily transform campus
gathering areas like student unions and dorms into
integrated information centers. Now, news announcements
and campus events can be displayed along with class
schedules in real-time to keep students abreast of the
information they need to know.
Libraries, computer labs and research centers can all reap
benefits of digital signage. Interactive digital displays in
these specific areas can assist students looking for select
information on study groups, guest speakers and current
event information.
Digital signage can also drive sales around campus. While
the most prominent locations are typically bookstores and
cafeterias, this applies to any point-of-sale including
ticketing and popup stands. Smart displays like LG’s
SuperSign screens morph into digital “posters” for
promotion.
In campus cafeterias menu boards work in sync with self-
service kiosks enabling students to make purchases right
from the screen. For those concerned about the budget
switching screens off during campus non-peak hours, (i.e.
lunch, dinner, key periods between classes) save as much
as 40% of total energy costsiv. Solutions like Ultra-Stretch
screens when placed horizontally on a wall fit neatly over
food areas offering infotainment while keeping lines
moving. Millward Brown shows that 84% of viewers will
perceive wait times as 35% faster when given
infotainment or visual distraction in the form of interactive
or audio-visual menus and even display adsv. And by
utilizing HD signs to create eye-catching menus and
promotional offers, signage works to optimize long lunch
lines by ensuring students can see the menu.
Benefits don't stop there. Digital displays function to
promote and upsell campus offerings. Students can be
made aware of better options like newer edition books,
time slots with guest speakers and tickets for sale.
Carefully curated promotional content can be programmed
based on time-of-day and other contexts with real-time
data. Social media feeds can also provide relevant upselling
and product promotions.

TO CREATE ENGAGING COMMON AREAS
6Why Digital Signage is a Campus Game-Changer
SAFETY FIRST
Insuring the safety of everyone on campus is a top priority.
In the event of an emergency a digital signage network can
deliver critical information without delay and provide
necessary directions to insure the safety of everyone on
campus all in real-time.
CREATE INTERACTIVE CLASSROOMS
From basic interaction points at PCs to unique interactive
whiteboards, schools and universities are dramatically
increasing engagement with digital signage technologyvi.
Solutions like Ultra-Stretch screens enable creative
backdrops to engage and inform students. Other options
like the digital whiteboards replace existing blackboards
and projectors with interactive, glare-free tech that brings
classrooms to life. Virtual computing solutions like Zero
Client monitors reduce total energy costs while simplifying
curriculum and content management.
Digital whiteboards are one of the fastest growing
technologies for schools of every sizevii. Robert Marzano,
speaking at Cue.org, linked them to a 17-29% increase in
total test scoresviii over no screens present. And, with dynamic
interactivity including support for multiple topics, data sources
over HDMI, DP and wireless connections, professors and
students can collaborate in completely new ways.
Screens like LG's Interactive Digital Board, offer Picture-
by-Picture segmentation to display multiple topics and
content sources including live streaming with real-time
data from nearly any external source. For example, the
Wharton School of Business integrates digital
whiteboards to share live guest speakers via video-chat.
This is a terrific use case as CEO's and guest speakers are
often busy and may otherwise not make it to the
university in person.
Most importantly visually attractive signage helps
students learn. In a study by McGraw Hill, 75% of students
using adaptive learning technology including touchscreens
and digital screens in classrooms reported that it was very
or extremely helpful. A further 77% reported it improved
engagement, with signs and interactive screens making
focus, attention spans and concentration easierix.

7Why Digital Signage is a Campus Game-Changer
Event halls and arenas are one of the most common sites
chosen for digital signage integration. With higher funds
from donors and more attention from outside attendees,
these areas often require high-tech digital surroundings, a
visually appealing environment and demand the opportunity
to drive revenue through ads from sponsors. With new
screens featuring ultra-slim bezels signage integrates into
design in ways never before possible. Additionally, these
screens integrate with HDMI, DP and wireless devices to
update from the lectern while offering a seamless HD
experience. Campuses benefit from real-time data
integration for event schedules, playtimes, guest schedules
and video integration for virtual guests or collaborators.
At the University of Idaho, this concept has been brought to
life with an 11’x6’ video wall composed of nine LG screens.
The video wall uses built-in-diagnostics for real-time
optimization and updates right from the lectern using a PC
or Blu-Ray device.

IMPROVE INTERNAL FACULTY
AND STAFF COMMUNICATIONS
Faculty and staff communication are one of the most
crucial elements of maintaining a campus – with needs
including security, data sharing, computing and scheduling.
Administration areas require security, maintenance and
monitoring with technology for accessing, controlling and
sharing data. IPS desktops function as Ultra-Wide screens
for maximizing viewing multiple camera feeds to improve
security. WebOS applications integrate to feed social
media, weather and even travel alerts into the system so
faculty can stay informed, respond quickly and improve
efficiency of alert broadcast systems.
Most importantly for campus administrators, digital
signage greatly contributes to efficiencies. For example,
virtual computers make it easier to create and distribute
class resources and software updates while reducing the
load on IT and technical staff.
LG's signage fits into applications ranging from wayfinding to computer labs – with full software
and technological support available.
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS FOR SIGNAGE
Wayfinding
From simple maps to interactive touch screens with
compatible apps for off-loading directions, wayfinding
solutions are as simple or as complex as needed. And with
touchscreen and mobile integration through apps on
webOS, interactive and indoor mapping has never been
easier.
Scheduling
webOS supports real-time data integration so that you can
create real-time class and room schedules, sports scores and
even IPTV or web pages. Connect with documents and data
sources like Excel, SAP and MS Exchange to share real-time
developments and information.
Digital Bulletin Boards
Save paper and ink with energy-efficient digital displays
where you can update and customize content in real-time.
With remote management staff can quickly make changes
and update all screens from a central location.
Advertising
Earn funds with sponsor, donor and business promotions.
Campuses across the country already accept advertisements
from local businesses to promote student-friendly
businesses as well as earn money for the campus.
Booking Rooms
Room management is a huge challenge for many
universities. A simple room booking solution enables
students and faculty to check out classrooms and
auditoriums, manage a digital schedule and keep track of
what's going on in each room with digital display and
schedules.
Computing
Engage students with better monitors using IPS or Zero
Client solutions and reduce total campus costs with
reduced energy usage. Zero Client displays utilize virtual
computing with centralized management to cut total
content management costs and improve engagement
through screens that respond up to five times faster than
legacy hardware.
9Why Digital Signage is a Campus Game-Changer
There are big differences between consumer and commercial
grade digital displays. Choosing the wrong kind of display
could cost you in the long run. LG Commercial displays are
more durable, built to withstand high user rates and provide
a wealth of installation and technology options. Consumer-
grade digital displays are not designed to withstand the
demands of commercial environments and are not intended
to be used 24/7. Displays located outdoors like LG Direct
View LED products should be certified to perform in harsh
environments where dust and moisture are a concern. They
should provide easy management and be backed by a solid
network of support.
LG is one of the world's top manufacturers of digital signage
technology. Their vast suite of offerings range from high-end
LG OLED, LED, Zero-Client virtual desktop, interactive
touchscreens and digital whiteboards. With true-colors,
UltraHD, blackest blacks and wide viewing angles, LG's digital
signage displays standout anywhere on campus. Plus, with
total digital signage solutions extending to software like
Cisco compatible displays, Crestron Connected Certified
screens and LG's webOS for managing and monitoring
screens and display content – LG offers a complete signage
solution.
