i3-TECHNOLOGIES
i3-Technologies is a global company. Every day we gain new impressions about the
accelerators behind the shift that is happening in learning and meeting environments.
This shift influences the way we at i3-Technologies think about furniture and technology.
And ultimately it drives change and innovation in our designs and the way we envision our
interactive, integrated and inspiring solutions for both meeting and learning environments:
This book is a brief summary of our vision and offer for the education market. It is meant to
be a source of inspiration, for you to reform your learning environments.
In our hyper-connected world, it is only logical that learning are connected to the world
outside. As a consequence, traditional learning environments need to be transformed into
a social hub for interaction and connectivity, in which both cyberspace, computing devices
and traditional and digital tools blend perfectly to enable the optimal interaction experience.
When crafting tools and products, or delivering know-how to the customer, i3-Technologies
integrates 3 principles as the fundament to enable the optimal learning environment:
interactivity, integration and inspiration. Above this, we cherish 3 design principles to ensure
maximal satisfaction of the customer and minimal impact for the environment: User-based
Design, Universal Design for Learning and Cradle-to-Cradle.
i3-Technologies aims to stay in touch with our customers expectations and objectives by
offering fully integrated technology solutions for any learning environment. We strive for
a clear communication between people and a smooth synergy with the i3-Technologies
products.

Digitizing workflows, an always on society, ubiquity of internet access
and productivity software, These are some of the many factors that
influence our daily occupations as learners, teachers, and workers. They
bring new requirements to the environments we are active in, and to
us as individuals and groups. We often lack, however, the right easy to
use tools, equipment and interfaces to work most effectively in these
new, blended analog and digital environments.
Our mission is to provide every learning environment in the world
with affordable, easy acces to inspiring ways of working by means of
integrated solutions that foster interaction.

These solutions may consist of hard- and software technology products integrated with
classic visual communication products and accessories that aid the environments users

In our vision, interactivity is important in different ways. Most obvious are the
interactive IT products in our product line: all products allow interactivity in global,
single user or small group collaboration setups, both inside the working or learning
environment and at home.
Although we are fully convinced of the need for and the benefits of these technologies,
we believe that a number of classic, less dynamic interactive means can support, or
if cleverly used, even enhance the effect of technological interactivity. Whiteboards,
blackboards, magnetic boards, flip charts and pin boards all provide instant access,
are approachable in different creative ways.

Our experiences with interactive learning tools have taught us that, next to official
curriculum standard content, real teachers often create very relevant and engaging
educational resources. Others gain more from not having to reinvent the wheel and
still teach with top level relevant resources without sacrificing personal time.

SERVICE
AND
SUPPORT
Studies have shown that insufficient availabilty of Interactive Whiteboards and other
classroom technology and issues with the reliability of the ICT equipment in a school
are considered the main inhibiting factors to their use by teachers and headmasters
alike. Among the other inhibiting factors, the highest ranking ones are a lack of interest
from teachers and most of all the lack of insight and understanding of the benefits
classroom technology can bring to teachers and students. i3-Technologies and its
authorised distributors and resellers have developed several services and support
measures which will help you overcome these issues.
