What an Interactive Classroom Is and What It Solves

An interactive classroom is a room where the touch board or monitor, the camera, the audio, and the control work as a single system. The teacher presses a button and teaches both the students in the room and the ones connected remotely. It’s used in schools, universities, and simulation centers, and it’s designed classroom by classroom, not from a catalog.

Many institutions have already bought the technology. What’s usually missing is the integration: a board that doesn’t talk to the video conferencing platform, a projector with its own separate control, a microphone the remote student can’t quite hear. The teacher loses the first minutes of every class sorting that out.

Integrating the classroom changes the starting point. Programmed scenes — in-person class, hybrid class, shut down — coordinate the screen, camera, audio, and lighting with a single command, and the teacher doesn’t need to know how to operate each device. Automatic shutdown at the end of the class block cuts consumption in a building with dozens of rooms left on unused.

This page is the complete solution for the education sector: what the project includes, how to choose the board, how hybrid classrooms work, how we deliver, and where we serve. If you’re looking for the guide to a specific component, see the smart whiteboard guide, what an interactive classroom is, technology for medical simulation centers, classroom sound, and what a video beam is.

How to choose the interactive board or monitor

Size. This is decided by the distance from the last seat to the screen, not by budget. A 30-student classroom with the back row seven meters away needs a larger diagonal than a twelve-seat training room.

Touch and writing. Check how many simultaneous touch points it supports and whether it lets two people write at once. That difference is noticeable in group work; in a lecture, it isn’t.

Software. The board comes with its own system, but what matters is whether it integrates with the video conferencing platform and the virtual classroom the institution already uses. If it doesn’t, the teacher ends up using it as a plain screen and nothing more.

Audio and camera. An all-in-one panel with built-in camera and microphone covers a small room. In a large classroom, audio and camera are separate and integrated into the system, because the panel’s microphone doesn’t reach the back rows.

Mounting and network. We define the power point, network point, height, and type of mount before purchasing. Projects that go sideways are usually the ones where the equipment was bought first and the installation figured out afterward.

What an Interactive Classroom Includes

How we work

How We Deliver Your Interactive Classrooms

Design and Requirements

We assess requirements by room type: capacity, distances, acoustics, natural light, electrical and network infrastructure, class type, and which existing equipment can be reused. We deliver floor plans, single-line diagrams, and schematics in AVIXA notation. Integration is defined in the planning stage, not patched together on-site.

Custom Programming

Our engineers, certified as Crestron Service Providers, program the room's scenes, the shutdown logic, and the coordination between board, camera, audio, and video conferencing. Every button is defined with the technology team before a single line of code is written.

Installation and Site Supervision

We install and supervise the build, coordinating with construction or campus renovation. At an operating institution the work window is usually the recess week, so the schedule follows the academic calendar.

Training and After-Sales Support

We hand over the classroom operational and train the teachers who will use it and the technical staff who will maintain it. The system comes with after-sales support and contractually agreed response times, for the entire useful life of the installation.
Technology

Brands and Technology for Your Interactive Classroom

The classroom is built on reference board, camera, audio, and control platforms. The selection is made per project and on technical merit, not by margin or available inventory.

Legamaster

Erasable boards with an interactive monitor on rails, the configuration most requested when the teacher wants to keep a traditional writing surface.

Meviko

Interactive boards as a technical alternative, depending on room type and project budget.

MaxHub

All-in-one interactive panels with built-in touchscreen, camera, and microphone, useful in training rooms and small classrooms where separating audio and video isn't justified.

Laia

Our difference

Why Choose Integración AV for Your Interactive Classroom

Integrating audiovisual spaces in Colombia since 2006, with two international awards for an education project and the technical team behind them.

Verifiable technical depth

We study the scope of every platform so we combine only what your classroom needs. Crestron Master Gold status, AVIXA's CTS certification, and Crestron Service Provider status back a team that knows what to integrate and what to leave out.

Track record in education, not just AV

The AV Awards Americas 2025, in the learning-environment projects category, and the CALA Awards 2024 recognize a specific education project: Universidad Javeriana's medical simulation center. These are industry awards, not self-published.

Sustainability and energy savings

We program shutdown by motion detection and by schedule to cut campus consumption, and we reuse the equipment in good condition the institution already has. Sustainability starts with not replacing what still works. We are part of the AVIXA Sustainability program.

One point of contact for the whole cycle

Design, programming, installation, teacher training, and after-sales support with the same point of contact. There's no separate vendor for the boards, another for the programming, and a third for support when the classroom fails mid-semester.

Frequently asked questions about interactive classrooms and boards

If your question isn’t here, write to us: a specialist replies during office hours.

An interactive classroom is a room where the touch board or monitor, the camera, the audio, and the control work as a single system. A room with a whiteboard has the same equipment, but each piece is turned on and configured separately. The practical difference shows up at the start of class: in an integrated classroom the teacher presses a button; in the other, they plug in cables.
In practice they’re used as synonyms and describe the same thing: a large-format touchscreen for writing, projecting, and sharing content. What does change between models is the size, how many touch points it supports, what software it comes with, and whether it has a built-in camera and microphone.
It’s decided by the distance from the back seat to the screen and by the type of content. A 30-student classroom with the back row seven meters away needs a larger diagonal than a twelve-seat training room. During the technical site visit we measure the room and recommend the model, instead of proposing one size for the whole institution.
Three things that work together: a camera that follows the teacher as they move, microphones that pick up their voice and student questions, and a screen where what’s written reaches the room and the remote session equally. The fourth element is control: if the teacher has to operate three devices to start class, the hybrid mode gets abandoned within a few weeks.
Legamaster and Meviko for erasable boards with an interactive monitor, MaxHub for all-in-one panels, Laia for automatic tracking cameras, Shure for microphones, Sony for monitors and projection, and Crestron for classroom automation. Selection is made per project and on technical merit, not commercial margin.
Yes. The difference from a classroom is in scope: real-time video capture, audio monitoring, recording, and debriefing rooms under one control layer. The medical simulation center at Universidad Javeriana, with twenty spaces, received the AV Awards Americas 2025 in the learning-environment category.
The cost depends on how many classrooms are in the phase, whether only the board is installed or the full hybrid classroom, the models chosen, and the existing infrastructure. We don’t publish prices because every education project is different. The education line has national coverage: our office is in Bogotá, we have an office in Medellín, and in the rest of the country we work with certified technical partners under our supervision.
Technical consultation

Request Your Technical Consultation and We'll Design Your Classrooms

Our main office is in Bogotá, at Calle 42 #27A-45, Office 403, and we have an office in Medellín. The education line has national reach: where certified technical partners are available, the installation is carried out with them under our supervision, and where none are available we send our own staff from Bogotá or Medellín.

The first conversation is a technical consultation. We learn what types of rooms you have, how your institution teaches, how many classrooms enter the first phase, and which existing equipment can be reused.

From there we prepare a detailed quote, with scope by classroom type, AV drawings, a schedule aligned with the academic calendar, and an after-sales model.
