America's Luidia has announced that its eBeam technology can now be acquired by 43,000 classrooms and 72 school boards throughout Quebec. Ebeam transforms flat surfaces into "interactive and collaborative workspaces" for both education and business sectors. This news follows a speech in February 2011 by Quebec Premier Jean Charest, who announced then an investment of $160 million over five years to equip every K-12 classroom with interactive whiteboards.
“Luidia is excited about the opportunity to help carry out the Premier’s mandate to bring new technologies into the classroom for thousands of Quebec students,” said Rafi Holtzman, CEO, Luidia. “Many traditional IWB solutions call for complicated implementations with costly modifications to existing suites. Now Quebec schools have the option of safeguarding their existing investments by adopting cutting-edge eBeam technology products, which are not only retrofittable and simple to install, but effective for teachers interested in increasing student participation in the classroom.”
Educational institutions can now purchase eBeam technology through Centre de services partagés du Quebec, the agency responsible for Quebec’s government acquisitions. Luidia's Canadian distributor, Oralys, is the official supplier of eBeam technology to Quebec.
