Qatar Foundation – Education City
Doha, Qatar
The Qatar Foundation developed a world class, state-of-the-art university, incorporating the latest in smart classroom technology, called Education City in Doha, Qatar. The university will eventually include over 30 buildings and colleges on this campus. To ensure a high level of excellence, however, many of the colleges will actually operate as satellite campuses of major universities in the United States. This unique arrangement required designs for distance education systems that exceed those found on even the best US campuses. EDI designed video-conferencing systems to help eliminate the thousands of miles of distance for instructors and students, allowing them to see and hear each other in real-time while exchanging information using a variety of tools, including electronic white boards and high-resolution computer graphics. Intuitive touch-screen control systems enable instructors and technicians to control cameras, monitors, and other equipment on both sides of the ocean simultaneously.
