Student Driven Digital Signage

Abstract

Digital Signage has been used Siena College since 2004, in the Financial Trading Lab. Expansion was initially limited to a single display in the Lobby of the college's signature building. The purpose was a medium for Academic affairs to disseminate academic events to the community. While the value of digital signage was known by a limited group at the institution, there was no movement to increase the presence of digital signs around campus. This changed in 2013 when the Student Senate championed a pilot project by providing funding for the hardware. Information Technology Services, ITS, provided support and the free to use, Rise Vision Content Management platform. We will present the lessons learned and continue to learn through this pilot implementation. We will discuss the hardware used as well as the use of the Rise Vision Platform.
