Details
Under the direction of UBC IT and central UBC Communications, the digital signage network provides the visual and technical architecture required to share diverse messaging consistently and efficiently across the university from a central source. The network is run on a program called CoolSign, and many different faculties, administrative units, building occupants, and stakeholders have the ability to add content to different screens. Content and Design Guidelines have been developed to assist content managers and creators in developing effective digital communications.
Each set of digital signs on campus has an administrator, and it is the administrators across campus that decide what campus-wide information they will promote on their signs. It pays to follow up with administrators in areas you want to target to see if they will use your content on their screens.
The central UBC Communications team also keeps an up-to-date playlist of widely relevant content that administrators can use. Getting your content included in that playlist can support the reach of your message.
How to access
To submit content for the central UBC digital signage network feed, send your content at least two weeks in advance using the submission form.
