Classrooms

Display the lecturer, current lesson and daily timetable outside each teaching room.

Libraries

Give students clear study-room availability and booking capabilities.

Labs & specialist rooms

Combine scheduling with supported access control for restricted facilities.

Shared campus areas

Show lecture schedules, events, notices and directions on larger screens.

Example Door Tablet classroom room display

At the classroom door

Room displays that keep everyone informed

Show students and staff what is happening in a room before they enter. Classroom displays can reflect the timetable, show current and upcoming sessions and support authorised check-in or check-out.

  • Professor or lecturer name and lesson subject
  • Current and forthcoming room activities
  • Customisable university colours, logos and fonts
  • Scheduled display sleep and wake times to avoid unnecessary overnight illumination

Around the campus

Help students and staff get where they need to be

Position wayfinding screens in busy corridors, entrances and shared spaces to give people a real-time overview of classes and lectures. Choose non-interactive timetable displays or interactive floor plans for finding spaces and, where configured, booking them.

Connected technology

Connect your campus systems

Door Tablet adds a physical, easy-to-use layer to compatible scheduling and access control systems, supporting the way your institution already works.

Scheduling integration

LibCal and academic room calendars

Door Tablet integrates with Springshare LibCal , commonly used by university libraries to manage study rooms and other bookable resources. Show relevant booking and room information at the point of use.

Institutions with other academic systems can also explore integration through the Door Tablet Standard Interface (DTSI) , an API-based option using a defined set of HTTP and JSON interactions.

Physical access

Schedule-aware access control

Rooms such as laboratories, editing suites and specialist teaching spaces may need controlled entry outside scheduled sessions. With supported access control integrations, Door Tablet can help coordinate room bookings and authorised access.

Future Development Concepts

Exploring personalised campus wayfinding

Door Tablet has explored concepts for more personalised campus navigation, including interactive wayfinding connected to university scheduling systems.

Potential developments could allow students and staff to use an authorised RFID/NFC ID card to access their daily timetable, search for classrooms and receive directions to their next lesson. Integration with mapping services such as Google Maps could also support navigation between campus buildings and off-site facilities.

These are conceptual possibilities rather than currently available features. Implementation would require additional development and integration with the institution's academic scheduling systems and relevant mapping services.

Concept for a personalised university timetable planner

Personalised Planner Concept

An example of how students or staff could access a personalised daily schedule, including lesson times and room locations.

Interactive Search Concept

A proposed interface for finding classrooms and lecture locations, with the potential for integrated maps and directions.

The image above illustrates development concepts explored for a university. These concepts are not currently available as standard Door Tablet functionality.

Inclusive campus environments

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment

Door Tablet aims to make its workplace scheduling solutions usable by a wide range of students, faculty and visitors. Accessibility improvements and alignment with WCAG guidance are part of our ongoing development approach; capabilities can vary by interface, device and configuration.
