Scheduling changes through integration with WebUntis

Project
The Gomarus College, the ROC Menso Alting and the Education Service Team (OST) fall under the Gereformeerde Scholengroep (GSG) foundation. OST provides support services to the various educational locations within the foundation.

Screens have been installed at all branches of Gomarus College and ROC Menso Alting to provide students and employees with information. These screens display information such as schedule changes, event announcements, notices, general information and include the ability to display multiple images.

Content is provided by the school's communications department; in addition, all sites have assigned a site administrator who puts site-specific content on the screens.

Completely in the house style
Slide layouts have been developed for both the Gomarus College and ROC Menso Alting in the school's house style. At the Gomarus College, the bright red color and playful lines are clearly visible in the layouts. For ROC Menso Alting, the calm blue and red colors were used, with rounded lines and the ROC's recognizable typography included in prominent places in the layouts. Both schools chose to integrate the school's logo into the layouts.

RSS feeds with bus and train times are included in the playlist. Relevant bus stops and stations are configured so that public transportation departure times are displayed on the screens.

Thanks to the choice of Spark Narrowcasting, students, staff and visitors are now always well informed about up-to-date schedule information and public transport departure times.

_{Jacob Verbree (Adviseur ICT)}"At GSG, the implementation was handled energetically. Amazing how quickly the intake and then the installation of the screens took place. Our homework was mainly to ensure that there was cabling behind each screen and to provide an overview of content managers, also useful to know in advance which systems you want to link with your digital signage. After a course via teams everyone was able to get started. Very happy with how the implementation went and very happy with our digital signage!"
