Future College Classrooms 2025-2026: Advanced Use of Audio and Video Technology

In the dynamic landscape of higher education, a significant shift is underway, driven by the integration of cutting-edge AV/IT technologies. A gathering of 17 industry thought leaders, including Hal Truax, Vice President at Avixa, discussed the future of AI, the Cloud, and AV at a recent event in 2025.

One of the key trends reshaping classrooms is the adoption of active learning spaces. These modern classrooms are designed to promote collaboration and interaction, fostering a more engaging learning experience. Modern classrooms are increasingly incorporating high-definition projectors, interactive whiteboards, and immersive audio systems to create an engaging and interactive environment.

Integrated audio systems play a crucial role in this transformation. They are used to create immersive educational environments, enhancing the learning experience for students. Advanced presentation technology can now manage lighting, shading, security, and HVAC systems across campuses, providing a seamless and efficient learning environment.

Flexibility is another key aspect of this transformation. Furniture that can be easily reconfigured allows for seamless transitions between teaching methods, adapting to the needs of each lesson. There is a growing focus on flexible and collaborative furniture design in classrooms, ensuring that students have the tools they need to learn effectively.

Esports, Next-Gen Audio, and Visualization Technologies also have their own thought leaders in 2025, reflecting the growing importance of these areas in higher education. In total, there are 15 manufacturers offering support in 2025, ensuring that institutions have access to the latest technologies.

The benefits of these active AV learning environments are numerous. They promote collaboration, interaction, and flexibility, all of which are essential for the modern learner. As higher education continues to evolve, it is clear that AV/IT technologies will play a crucial role in shaping the classrooms of the future.
