Tips for Deploying Digital Signage in Higher Ed

It’s important to consider how you are going to use your digital signage and what content you are looking to display. This information will drive your purchasing decisions. Are you looking for digital menus in the dining hall?, a place to display announcements in the dorms? or maybe an outdoor kiosk for way finding? Each of these uses will call for a different display.
