Using virtualized multimedia tools for video conferencing solution integrated in teaching and learning environment

Abstract

Interactive display panels are one of the most widely used display systems today in delivering high-quality teaching and learning experiences to the students and faculties around the globe as several hardware and software tools can be integrated with these interactive display panels so that more efficiency and interactivity can be done on these panels. In this research work, we are more focused on how we can securely manage these interactive display panels in teaching and learning environments and provide an integrated solution for the academic environment to protect these systems that are integrated with video conferencing solutions. The architectural design of the system and the integrated solutions, along with video conferencing capabilities in the teaching environment, need to be secure and should not be accessible to the intruders during teaching and learning. Hyper-convergence infrastructure provides a virtualization environment that can be used by the stakeholders for providing infrastructural elements like different operating systems for the teaching and learning environment. Video conferencing solutions can be deployed on different virtualization environments using hyper-convergence technology that can be accessed over the remote interactive display panels as per the request of the stakeholder who is using the interactive display panel in the classrooms and meeting rooms. Securing this hyper-converged infrastructure is important which can be achieved through virtualization technology. If one system is down, the entire teaching and learning environment can run without any latency in executing the teaching and meetings in the organization.
