Digital signage in educational facilities can serve as the foundation of today’s “connected campus,” serving as a valuable tool for improving the flow of information. Digital signage can help promote school spirit and increase efficiency, making the school environment more user-friendly for students, staff, and visitors.
Digital signage for schools offers the ability to choose which displays showcase what information, designing and updating it easily to be featured in digital signage placed on public areas such as hallways and cafeterias, teachers' devices such as classroom TVs, and displays located in visitor areas such as the lobby and conference rooms.
Digital displays for schools can be used to remind students and staff about upcoming breaks or holidays, sporting events, events such as the school prom or “dress down day,” and add/drop deadlines. Outdoor signage can convey similar information to parents and the local community.
Content creation tools included in digital signage software for education can be used to create templates that include school colors and logos. Users simply upload and set the assets once based on pre-designed templates.
Samsung’s VXT digital signage platform can be used to control electronic signs for schools and display maps, school directories with phone numbers, navigation information, and more. Content can be uploaded, managed, and deployed from a central location in real time.
School digital signage can provide emergency notifications and showcase emergency routes, ensuring staff and students remain safe. Those signs can also offer reminders about first aid care, display information about upcoming weather emergencies, and detail how the school will respond.
Samsung VXT’s hardware control capabilities can help avoid service outages, notifying administrators instantly in the event of an issue. Additionally, VXT’s built-in security features can help prevent hardware from being hijacked through someone plugging in a USB device or accessing management tools via Bluetooth.

Digital signage in education refers to the use of electronic displays to disseminate information, announcements, advertisements, or other content within educational institutions. These digital displays can be strategically placed in various locations throughout a school or university campus to communicate with students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
Schools use digital signage for a variety of reasons, including improved communication, increased engagement, efficient information sharing, and campus navigation. Additionally, digital signage can be used to promote school events, performances, lectures, club meetings, and other extracurricular activities. Those screens can also be used to showcase student achievements, artwork, projects, and other accomplishments.
The cost of digital signage can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size and number of displays, the quality of hardware and software, installation requirements, ongoing maintenance, and any additional features or customization needed. Although installing a digital signage network can represent a significant upfront investment, many organizations find that the benefits, such as improved communication, reduced printing costs, enhanced engagement, and greater flexibility, justify the cost over time.
A digital signage system requires a variety of considerations, including hardware such as the screens themselves along with browser-based players and mounting hardware; software such as content creation tools and a content management system; the content itself; and network connectivity. Depending on the complexity of the digital signage setup, deployers may need professional installation services to mount displays, set up networking infrastructure, and configure hardware and software. They should also plan for ongoing tasks such as updating content, troubleshooting technical issues, and performing regular maintenance on hardware components.
Digital signage can be highly effective for schools in enhancing communication, engagement, and overall campus experience. Compared to traditional methods such as flyers, posters, or email announcements, digital signage offers a more efficient and environmentally friendly way to distribute information across campus. When implemented effectively, digital signage can contribute to a positive and fulfilling educational experience for students, faculty, staff, and visitors alike.
