Solstice Active Learning
Solstice Active Learning is a software-enabled active routing solution for multi-team learning environments that allows educators to control and share content to engage with students. The application provides a simple learning space design tool, drag-and-drop video sharing between screens, as well as an instant messaging system that can broadcast information to each display on demand.
Solstice Active Learning can be enabled on Solstice Gen3 Pods running software version 4.5 or later with a current Active Learning subscription. Additionally, each designer and facilitator must have a Solstice Cloud account to virtually design rooms and route video in real time using the free Solstice Active Learning app.
Note
Each Active Learning video routing connection is counted towards the licensed number of users for the Pod. For example, Solstice Pods with Small Group Edition licensing allows up to four total connections to it, including those from active video routing. For Solstice Pods with Unlimited user licensing, the maximum number of Active Learning video routing connections is 8; however, an unlimited amount of Solstice users can connect and share to that individual Pod.
