SMARTdesks Design Studio

By SMARTdesks, Inc.

Our philosophy: Forming the core of the SMARTdesks, Inc. business plan is the basic World Wide Web marketing theory of "giving something back, first." Although this may seem a departure from traditional commerce, it greatly satisfies the needs of our customers.

After all, we design meeting and learning environments like conference rooms, testing centers, classrooms and lecture halls every day (see our ), whereas our clients may only get an opportunity to do this once in a lifetime.

To help you get started, we give you access to our extensive to see what's been done before and access to in-depth information about all of the products in our .

	• Students • Instructor • The space • Furnishings • Equipment • Software • Network	The 7 main elements of an electronic learning environment Ideal interactive multimedia learning environments integrate these seven elements based on the goal of the instruction. Therefore, our design request forms ask for more information than the size of the room and number of students. Our revenue comes from supplying the furnishings, but we believe our primary mission is assisting in the assembly of the total package and providing an ergonomic interface for the seven main elements; improving and enhancing the learning experience.

The intelligent choice for smarter learning environments

Effective learning is a direct result of the quality of communication. This is as true in the classroom as it is in the conference room.

Each SMARTdesks™ product is engineered to maximize specific learning activities. Rather than planning a room based only on standard products and fit educational and technological applications to a single mold, SMARTdesks™ begins each project with your specific teaching and information delivery requirements and provides task-based solutions using sophisticated manufacturing techniques if modifications are necessary.

This process offers you the benefits of collaborative design and economical custom modification to meet specific curricular and spacial requirements. Your cost remains the same because you only pay for what you want and you get what you need to accomplish your goals. Contact us about our .

Transforming education one classroom at a time

The way student workstations are arranged within a classroom - the way students are enabled by environment to interact with instructors, each other and multiple media learning materials - has a tremendous affect on achieving specific curricular goals. It isn't luck. Careful planning helps. This is the basis of good design.

SMARTdesks™ broad product selection meets multiple needs within a wide variety of standard configurations and sizes as well as custom capabilities - making a cohesive learning facility plan not just a dream, but a reality. You need to know what you want the equipment to do and then position all of the elements to make it happen. Get started. Fill out our

Learning Ergonomics are not Office Ergonomics

Although comprehensive studies have yet to be published on the ergonomics of computer-based training, our Founder and Associates have visited and examined the workings of hundreds of classrooms and training centers and, with the experience gained by having designed solutions for many projects, we are able to provide suggestions and recommendations on how to transform your visions of the perfect learning environment into reality. (See our )

In addition to generating many new product ideas, this collection of empirical data has led to the development of a number of "rules" which proscribe the basics of most of our classroom and conference room plans (visit the ) and serve to guide us when modifying existing or developing new products.

We invite you to visit and to learn more.
