The new academic school year is underway so it’s time for college professors and lecturers to try and inform their students and keep them engaged. Aiding in student learning is one of the most traditional and popular uses for projectors because they offer the best way to display the necessary information to a larger audience.
The days of simple overhead projectors being used in classrooms and lecture theaters are long gone, as modern projectors are much more sophisticated and powerful. They can be used to show a much wider range of information, including photos and videos which can be included in both lessons and lectures to really capture the attention of the learners.
One of the first questions to ask yourself when choosing a projector is whether you need it to be a special type for a specific task or an all-rounder used for a variety of applications. It’s best to work out exactly what you will be using it for.
Here’s our list of the top projectors to aid in student learning:
Viewsonic Pro 8520HD
In lecture halls and classrooms, you can’t be completely sure how dark you will need to make it, especially as students will need to be able to see while they take notes. So this means you need a projector that will generate enough brightness to shine through and still look impressive. This ViewSonic model has 5000 lumens, which means that it will power through almost any level of natural light and still hold your students’ attention.
BenQ MH741
As a powerful all-round model, you can’t do much better than this BenQ version, which can be used to show pictures and video just as impressively as it does for slide show presentations. It’s powerful with 4000 lumens of brightness, it won’t let you down in most rooms you’d be using it in, and it’s built for showing data and images for presentations, so you can expect excellent, crisp text quality.
Epson EH-TW9300
If images are important to you for lectures or lessons, this 4K Enhanced projector is set up to deliver much better picture quality than 1080p with amazingly crisp images and warm colors that will enhance any image you want to display. It will still do a good job with regular educational information but you’ll really wow your students with the higher quality images. The only downside is that it’s expensive, but if you can sway the holders of the purse strings, it will be well worth it.
