Innovation in professional training at the Bidasoa Center with Traulux monitors
86-inch Traulux interactive screens, PC - OPS modules with Windows 10 PRO pre-installed, wheel supports that allow the monitor to be moved conveniently, and charging cabinets make up the solution provided to the Bidasoa center. Its operational director, Juantxo Bengoetxea, tells us about its benefits.

Located in Irún (Basque Country), the CIFP Bidasoa LHII is committed to being at the forefront of training both with the development of different innovative projects with high technological value and applicability in training programs, as well as with the inclusion of new methodologies and technologies in their classrooms. For this reason, they have incorporated Traulux interactive monitors with PC-OPS modules in their facilities.
The vocational training center responds to the needs of the industrial fabric of the Bidasoa region, with 10 training cycles: 4 Intermediate Levels and 6 Higher Levels. Aware of the new challenges of society, it has implemented a challenge-based teaching methodology, where a group of students face real problems, based on their experience and creativity.
Challenge-based methodology
As the operational director comments, “to solve the challenge, the student analyzes what he needs and asks us for the necessary information that will be used immediately. The learning curve will be greater since you will see the practicality of what is explained to you”.
This methodology allows them to work, in addition to the technical content, on the soft skills necessary in the day-to-day running of the company. For example: teamwork, communication and initiative when faced with a problem, critical thinking and the development of digital ICT skills, which are so important in today's society.
An ideal solution for classroom collaboration
It is there where it provides the solution provided to the Bidasoa center, by the integrator Unión Radio Irún and Charmex . Composed of 86-inch Traulux interactive monitors, plus PC Modules - OPS with Windows 10 PRO pre-installed, wheel supports , which allow the monitor to be moved conveniently and charging cabinets for student PCs.
Traulux TLM80 interactive monitors, as they explain, are used as a collaboration tool in class activities, in all departments. As well as in face-to-face and online meetings.
These screens are ideal for teaching, as they allow up to 40 simultaneous touches (20 for writing). Among its most outstanding features is its advanced whiteboard where you can make notes and organize class ideas in an "infinite" space, with the possibility of resizing and duplicating.
They also include EsharePRO, for wireless transmission of up to 4 simultaneous devices on the screen, compatible with all operating systems. With reverse mirroring of up to 10 devices and remote control from PC, great features for everyone in class to collaborate.

The “heart” of the system is a PC-OPS + Windows 10 PRO. The OPS format allows the computer to be integrated into the monitor's own chassis, which provides several advantages to the system; Since it is integrated, it is not necessary to connect it externally, the power supply and all the communication ports are direct, making it safer and reducing the incidence rate due to bad connections or wear on the connectors over the years.
On the other hand, the computer starts up automatically when choosing the OPS option among the various input sources, or when it is programmed to start at the same time as the monitor and when the monitor is turned off (or scheduled to turn off at a certain time ), the PC also shuts down with the Windows “shut down” process.
Experimenting for a year
Both students (around 500) and teachers have had access to Traulux monitors in their daily lives for a year. “Interactivity has been very good for us. And the provision of videos with explanations of how to use said equipment.
According to comments from the center, "we used to teach the classes previously the projectors and electronic whiteboards." But, "from the needs of the academic center we have been adapting to new technologies taking into account the economic availabilities."
As the center emphasizes, the technical teaching teams are used to receiving training in new technologies; renew and update to new realities. For this reason, they explain, they have not had any type of obstacle to include the monitors in their class dynamics.
The Integrated Centers are those that provide all the training offers that lead to obtaining vocational training titles and/or professional certificates, aimed at professionals in the three groups: initial training, training for active workers and for the unemployed.
Currently, the educational offer of the Integrated Vocational Training Center focuses on the families of Mechanical Manufacturing, Wood and Furniture, Electricity, Industrial Electronics, Telecommunications Electronics.
Some of its latest innovation projects include the creation of a Parking 4.0, for sustainable mobility, with a charging point for two electric vehicles, plus a photovoltaic canopy that injects the energy generated directly into the school facilities. And, on the other hand, a parking lot for electric scooters. Also a project for monitoring electrical consumption and lighting, to analyze how to optimize the systems of a venue.
