STEAM Week:
AV-Powered Esports Arenas Bring a Whole New Game to Higher Education
STEAM Week | Esports Day | Session 3 of 3
Esports is not only the hottest, fastest growing segment of online gaming, it’s also one of fastest growing areas of study in higher education. Forward-looking colleges and universities are moving quickly to create new gaming spaces on their campuses — for learning and for entertainment. In this session, AVIXA, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, will moderate a panel with experts from Caldwell University and Full Sail University to discuss their recent esports projects and what it takes to create esports experiences that are as compelling as they are educational.
Panel topics include the importance of creating esports spaces on campus to attract and appeal to students; how to select the right technology for an installation; using AV tech to create flexible, multi-purpose esports spaces; measuring ROI of audiovisual esports installation; and much more.
