The adoption of digital learning has accelerated over the past years due to changes brought about by the pandemic. However, print materials remain crucial in helping students retain memory and information.
Epson is dedicated to giving students an immersive learning experience through products that balance traditional and digital learning, such as interactive projectors and state-of-the-art printers.
"Epson blends traditional and digital learning in modern Philippine classrooms, equipping them for the future of education and sustainability," Epson Philippines president and director Masako Kusama said. "At Epson, we believe this is a right, not a privilege. Through our work with DepEd and schools in the country, we want to help unlock students' creativity and potential."
As a socially responsible company, Epson is committed to promoting quality education for all schools. Epson previously partnered with the Department of Education (DepEd) through the Adopt-a-School Project to ensure that a lack of resources does not disrupt learning. Sustainability is also imprinted in Epson's DNA, and institutions that have adopted the Epson ecosystem are doing their part in ensuring a greener environment, in line with the company's "Engineered For Good" philosophy.
With the average number of students in a Philippine classroom at 50, it becomes more crucial for the display to be large enough for all to see.
Epson's EB Series projectors engage students because of their larger-than-life displays that show details and colors in high definition. Bare walls can become screens, and the screen size can be adjusted up to 120 inches. For Epson's ultra-short throw projectors (EB-1485Fi), this can be done even at a distance of less than two feet away from the screen.
Epson projectors can connect wirelessly and seamlessly to multiple devices, allowing teachers and students to display from one gadget source to the other. Learning is also open to more than just the classroom. With Epson's portable models (EB-E01, EB-X51), teachers can take the projectors with them wherever they go.
Epson's projectors also encourage tactile learning that comes with whiteboards through dual pens and even finger-touch interactivity (EB-725wi, EB-695wi). They keep the virtual screen on display so students can engage with the digital material they see. The EB-725Wi also has features that allow classrooms to print, save, and even email the interactive output on the screen.
Even with their powerful capabilities, Epson projectors are compact and do not occupy classroom space. The devices can run up to 20,000 hours with little to no maintenance. The projectors last nearly ten years when used eight hours a day and five days a week.
Despite the benefits of digital learning, research has consistently proven that printed text is still more effective for memory retention and reading comprehension. As a printing giant, Epson has developed products integrating print into the digital workflow.
Epson's Business Inkjet printers (WF-C879R, AM-C400, AM-C550, AM-C4000/C5000/C6000, WF-C21000) are equipped with features such as wireless printing and mobile device connectivity, meeting the needs of students and faculty members who require efficiency, flexibility, and printing on the go.
Designed for high-volume printing, which can produce up to 50 pages in a minute, Epson printers are a valuable investment for schools with a larger student population.
Meanwhile, the color capabilities of the Epson Business Inkjet printers address the need for more interactive materials, especially for younger students who engage better with creative visual aids and learning resources.
Even with these features, Epson products are not harmful to the environment. Their heat-free technology reduces power consumption by up to 85%.
For Epson, quality education means being able to address the unique needs of students, which change throughout generations and as technology evolves. With enhanced digital and traditional learning capabilities, schools can foster a creative and engaging environment for tomorrow's leaders.
