On the AVNation EDTech episode recorded at ISE in Barcelona, I explained that standardizing classroom AV isn’t a luxury—it’s survival. Our small team of two maintain more than 300 learning spaces, so we can’t afford a patchwork of unique setups that force faculty to relearn controls or leave us troubleshooting ten different systems. For us, trying to standardize is less about picking the same projector than about delivering the same user interface and experience in every room, whether it’s a simple huddle space or a feature-packed lecture hall.

When every room behaves the same, instructors start class with confidence, students stay engaged, and my AV team can focus on improvements instead of firefighting.

There is proof that consistency helps everyone win.

I'm so glad you shared this @Patrick Angielczyk.  Standardization is a topic I could go on and on about because I think it can be somewhat misunderstood when we talk about it.

So true. When you say "Standardization" some people think you mean its a one size fits all type of design, but it seems to be explained well in the above podcast preview. It's about the experience, first and foremost.
