How Educators Are Using WolfVision’s vSolution MATRIX in Active Learning Classrooms

Educators and learning technology specialists often ask us how WolfVision’s solutions are being used to enhance active learning environments.

Drawing on insights from our customers, this article explores how classrooms equipped with WolfVision’s vSolution MATRIX system are fostering collaborative, interactive, and flexible learning experiences.

From seamless content sharing to multi-screen collaboration, these innovative setups empower educators and students alike, making it easier to present, discuss, and engage with learning materials in dynamic and meaningful ways. Here are just some of the ways our customers are leveraging these tools to create impactful learning spaces.

Note: To help structure and categorise the various activities, we have used the six learning types as defined by Diana Laurillard, Emeritus Professor of Learning with Digital Technology at University College London as a framework. 

Definition: Learners acquire knowledge through listening, watching, or reading without directly engaging in action.

Classroom Activity Using vSolution MATRIX:

• The instructor uses the WolfVision Cynap Pro system to present a video, interactive slide deck, or live demonstration to the entire class.
• Students observe a high-quality video stream or annotated presentation from the instructor shown on multiple displays via vSolution MATRIX, ensuring clear visibility across the active learning space.
• Example: The teacher demonstrates a physics experiment or a business case study video, and students take notes or observe quietly.

Benefit: The high-definition content-sharing capabilities of WolfVision solutions ensure students remain engaged and focused on acquiring knowledge in a clear, distraction-free environment.

Definition: Learners work together to create a shared output, challenging each other's perspectives and building consensus.

Classroom Activity Using vSolution MATRIX:

• Students break into small groups at collaborative pods equipped with WolfVision Cynap Pro or Cynap Core Pro systems.
• Each group works on a shared task, such as brainstorming a solution to a real-world problem or creating a group presentation.
• Using the wireless screen sharing feature, group members seamlessly share their ideas, visuals, or documents on their local display, and later push their content to the main display for class-wide discussion.
• Example: Teams collaborate to develop a sustainability action plan for a company, create a concept map, or plan a marketing campaign.

Benefit: vSolution MATRIX fosters dynamic collaboration by enabling groups to share content effortlessly and merge ideas in real time.

Definition: Learners articulate, challenge, and refine ideas through dialogue.

Classroom Activity Using vSolution MATRIX:

• The instructor facilitates a class-wide or group-level discussion around a controversial topic, hypothesis, or question.
• Students display their arguments, supporting evidence, or visualisations from their devices to group or main screens using the Cynap wireless sharing features.
• The instructor uses the multi-screen management capability of vSolution MATRIX to juxtapose student arguments, compare ideas, or provide instant feedback.
• Example: In a history class, students debate the causes of a historical event, displaying timelines, visuals, or primary sources to support their points.

Benefit: Centralised control of screens and content-sharing options enhance real-time discussions and help facilitate meaningful peer-to-peer dialogue.

Definition: Learners actively search for information, evaluate findings, and draw conclusions.

Classroom Activity Using vSolution MATRIX:

• Students are assigned a research question that requires them to gather evidence from digital libraries, academic sources, or curated online platforms.
• Each group works at their collaborative station, using connected devices to search for credible resources.
• Groups share their findings on their local screens and summarise their evaluations. Professors can easily pull this content up onto the main display for comparison and analysis.
• Example: Students investigate climate change effects in different regions, presenting key findings, data, and infographics.

Benefit: The flexibility of WolfVision solutions supports independent and group-led investigations while allowing the instructor to monitor progress.

Definition: Learners apply their knowledge through active tasks, receive feedback, and refine their approach.

Classroom Activity Using vSolution MATRIX:

• The instructor provides students with a hands-on task (e.g., solving math problems, coding, creating a digital design) at their group workstations.
• Students display their progress on the local screens for immediate group feedback or instructor intervention.
• The instructor circulates through the room, viewing all group displays in real time via vSolution MATRIX and providing tailored feedback.
• Example: In an engineering class, students design a structure using CAD software, share their screens for peer feedback, and refine their models based on input.

Benefit: The system's live feedback capability ensures active learning while giving instructors a way to monitor and guide practice activities seamlessly.

Definition: Learners create outputs to demonstrate their understanding, often intended for public or teacher evaluation.

Classroom Activity Using vSolution MATRIX:

• Students create a final product (e.g., presentations, websites, digital models) at their group stations.
• Groups use the Cynap system to wirelessly present their outputs to the class on the central display, ensuring smooth transitions between presentations.
• Presentations can include multimedia elements (videos, slides, or real-time demonstrations) supported by WolfVision’s high-resolution display and streaming capabilities.
• Example: Students deliver a group presentation summarising their findings from a class project on renewable energy solutions.

Benefit: WolfVision’s systems enable polished and professional presentations, helping students showcase their work effectively while maintaining audience engagement.

WolfVision’s vSolution MATRIX system demonstrates its versatility by supporting a wide range of learning activities and approaches in active learning environments. By fostering collaboration, enabling seamless transitions between activities, and facilitating real-time sharing and feedback, the system empowers instructors to create dynamic and engaging learning experiences.

Recognising that students learn in different ways, vSolution MATRIX provides the flexibility to accommodate a variety of learning styles, ensuring that every learner can actively participate, collaborate, and produce meaningful outputs that enhance their educational journey.
