The purpose of this report is to evaluate the current available wireless presentations solutions and to find out a feasible solution which could be implemented in the university. Wireless presentation in the teaching rooms is a business requirement proposed by the CLAD. It enables lecturers to present lecture materials from their mobile tablet or mobile phone to the main projector screen so that lecturers can stroll around the lecture theatre while teaching, allowing better interaction with the students. This document evaluates various hardware and software solutions and analyses their advantages and limitations.
The wireless presentation solution will need to enable lecturers to present lecture materials from mobile devices (laptop, iPad, Android device etc.) to the main projector screen wirelessly. For example – a lecturer arrives, opens a presentation on an iPad (or even a smart phone), selects a certain option on the lectern control panel and their presentation is shown on the main projection screen. They can then stroll around at the front of the lecture theatre, wirelessly advancing the slides from their device.
