From January 1, 2024, mobile phones will be banned in secondary education, increasing the importance of alternative channels for information dissemination. Using narrowcasting software from Lumicast, you can keep students and teachers informed about schedule changes and the latest news even without mobile phones.

Schedule Changes on Screens

One of the major challenges arising from the mobile phone ban in schools is communicating schedule changes. These changes are a daily occurrence and can happen during the school day. Previously, students checked these on their mobiles, but this will soon be a thing of the past. Schools will need to offer an alternative solution.

Digital screens combined with narrowcasting software like Lumicast are perfect for this. You can easily link data within the software, so schedule makers don't need to perform separate actions to display schedule changes on screens.

Zermelo Screen Linking

Lumicast supports a connection with Zermelo schedules. This allows Zermelo schedule changes to be automatically pulled into Lumicast and displayed on your screens. It can look like this:
