Higher Education has been through a dramatic change in a relatively short period of time – just over 12 months - with the move to virtual teaching and remote working due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The last 24 months have seen Governments and public organisations around the world being forced to make unprecedented decisions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as Brexit and severe weather conditions.

Virtual meetings, which might have occurred once every other month, have now became part of daily workplace procedure, for both small domestic organisations and large global corporates.

Universities around the world rely on Shure audio solutions to solve complex classroom and other campus requirements.

There has been a huge disruption in the way the Higher Education sector delivers learning. High-quality audio is essential to these new methods of learning.

According to one survey, 87% report frustration and stress due to technology failures in meeting rooms. Research suggests that what equipment there is can be a challenge for meeting participants.

In fact, 81% of IT Decision Makers say audio has the biggest impact on improving the quality of virtual meetings. Good sound is easy to overlook, but poor sound cannot be missed. It causes fatigue, increases distraction, and reduces comprehension.

The role of an IT professional is a varied and changing one. While outsiders may think the focus is on maintaining and installing hardware and software, in reality the scope of the department is much more extensive and it continues to grow.

Thinking of upgrading your meeting space collaboration system to support a new era of work? New workplace demands and cloud adoption are forcing a rethink of audio equipment and services.
