Nowadays, overseas schools all attach great importance to off-campus learning. Organizing students to visit museums has become a popular choice – it not only enables students to combine textbook knowledge with physical objects to deepen their understanding, but also allows them to experience cultural heritage and cultivate a sense of historical responsibility. But when organizing dozens or even hundreds of students to visit, teachers always have endless worries: the explanations are drowned out by the noise, and the students at the back can’t hear clearly. Multiple classes visited simultaneously, and the sounds were mixed up in a chaotic mess. Students explore in a scattered manner, fearing falling behind or missing key points.

We at Yingmi have served many museum study Tours organized by overseas schools and are well aware of the needs of both teachers and students. The MC200 zonal explanation system?is like an “intelligent assistant” tailor-made for off-campus learning at museums. It doesn’t require students to wear any devices. Students can talk wherever they go and avoid distractions, making the learning journey both orderly and rewarding. Today, let’s talk to overseas educators about how this system can illuminate off-campus learning in museums.

I.?Address the pain points of off-campus learning to make the visit more orderly and focused

When overseas schools organize museum study Tours, the most troublesome part is the various chaotic scenes. However, the zoned explanation system can precisely solve these problems and double the learning efficiency.

(1) There’s no need to shout at the top of your lungs; every student can hear clearly

Dozens of students gathered in the exhibition hall, with the chattering of discussions and footsteps mixed together. The teacher was explaining with traditional amplification equipment, and the sound was easily drowned out. The students in the back row couldn’t hear clearly and had to push forward. Not only was the scene chaotic, but they might also bump into the exhibits. A teacher from an overseas middle school told us that in the past, when he took students to visit museums, his voice became hoarse by the end of the day, but still some students said, “I didn’t catch the key points clearly.”

The MC200 partition explanation system has completely changed this situation. The teacher wears a lightweight transmitter and only needs to explain softly. The sound will be precisely transmitted through the speakers in the exhibition hall, allowing students in every corner to hear clearly. The system adopts SOC embedded integrated digital noise reduction technology, which can filter out environmental noise. Even if the exhibition hall is crowded and noisy, students can still clearly hear key knowledge points such as “the historical background of cultural relics” and “scientific principles”. After the Henan Provincial Museum adopted this system to receive study tour groups, teachers no longer needed to shout loudly, and the students’ concentration also improved significantly.

(2) Multiple classes visit in parallel without interfering with each other

During the peak season for study Tours to popular museums, it is often the case that several schools and multiple classes visit simultaneously. In the past, when there was no zoning system, the voices of different classes were mixed together. One was talking about the other, and students simply couldn’t focus. Teachers also had to struggle to maintain order. A European museum once received five study tour groups in one day, creating a chaotic scene. In the end, classes had to take turns to visit, which wasted a lot of time.

The MC200 supports independent operation in multiple regions. Each class corresponds to a dedicated channel, and the sounds from different channels do not interfere with each other. For instance, the first grade is in the “Ancient Egypt Exhibition Hall”, the second grade is in the “Ancient Greece Exhibition Hall”, and the third grade is in the “Science and Technology Exhibition Hall”. Each of them listens to their own explanations. Even if the routes cross, there won’t be any sound mixing. After the museum near Tianmu Lake in Jiangsu Province adopted this system, it can receive more than 10 study Tours simultaneously in a day, significantly improving efficiency and saving both teachers and museum staff a lot of trouble.

(3) Students can freely explore without getting lost and their safety is guaranteed

Off-campus learning encourages students to explore independently, but teachers are worried that students might go too far to hear the explanations or get lost and fall behind. In the past, teachers could only make students closely follow the group, which restricted the joy of independent exploration. If students are allowed to move freely, there is a fear that they might miss the key explanations.

The “Sound when people arrive, sound when people leave” function of the MC200 perfectly resolves this contradiction. The system has installed signal transmitters in each exhibition area. When a teacher leads a student into a certain exhibition area, the audio system in that area automatically starts to explain. Students can move freely within the exhibition area, observe the exhibits up close and take notes. Even if they are a little farther away from the teachers, they can still listen clearly. When you leave this exhibition area, the sound system will automatically stop. It will automatically switch to the explanation content again when you walk to the next exhibition area. This model not only provides students with the space to explore independently but also ensures that they do not miss the core knowledge. Teachers do not need to keep a close eye on students all the time; they only need to patrol the exhibition area, making safety more guaranteed.

(4) The explanation content is more abundant, doubling the learning effect

The exhibits in the museum are rich in knowledge, but it is difficult to thoroughly explain the complex historical background and scientific principles merely through the oral explanations of the teachers. The MC200 supports dual-mode switching between “manual explanation and pre-stored audio”. Teachers can flexibly adjust it according to the situation: for simple content, oral explanation is provided; for complex knowledge points, pre-stored professional audio is played, combined with dynamic demonstrations of exhibits, making learning more vivid and easier to understand.

For instance, when explaining “dinosaur fossils”, the teacher first verbally introduces the discovery process of the fossils, and then plays audio and video of the dinosaurs’ living scenes. Students seem to “travel back in time” to ancient times, and their understanding of the knowledge becomes deeper. When explaining “aerospace equipment”, the audio will detail the “launch principle of rockets”, and with the structural display of the equipment, students can quickly master the core knowledge points. An overseas study tour organization has reported that after using this system, the number of students asking questions in class has increased by 30%, and their memory of knowledge has also become more solid.

II.?It is specially designed for off-campus learning, and these details are particularly considerate

In addition to its core functions, the MC200 also features many thoughtful designs for students and teachers, making off-campus learning smoother and more efficient.

(1) The operation is simple and teachers can quickly get started

Teachers in overseas schools come from different countries and may not understand Chinese or be familiar with electronic devices. The operation of the MC200 is particularly simple. Both the transmitter and the control platform have clear ICONS and multilingual identifiers. For instance, channel switching is marked with a “number” icon, and volume adjustment is marked with “+/-” ICONS. Teachers can understand it at a glance and quickly get started without complex training.

The control platform also supports remote management. Teachers can adjust the volume, switch channels and play pre-stored audio in the exhibition hall without having to go to the equipment control room. Even if operational issues arise, they can be quickly resolved through 24-hour online technical support, ensuring that the study tour progress is not delayed.

(2) The equipment is durable and durable, suitable for student usage scenarios

Students are bound to have some bumps and knocks when using equipment. The transmitter and speaker of the MC200 are both made of industrial-grade materials, which are sturdy and durable, and can handle the high-frequency use of the student group. The transmitter is compact in size. Teachers can hang it around their waists or put it in their pockets without affecting their body movements. The audio system adopts a wall-mounted design and is installed at a high position in the exhibition hall to prevent students from touching it, ensuring safety and stability.

The PUM power management technology of the system can ensure the stable operation of the equipment 7×24 hours a day with an extremely low failure rate, so there is no need to worry about the failure affecting the study tour activities during the process. Even if there are occasional problems, there is a global warranty service for quick repair and replacement, which will not affect subsequent use.

(3) Support multi-language explanations, suitable for international schools

Many international schools overseas have students of different nationalities. Language barriers can affect learning outcomes. The MC200 supports multi-language switching. It presets 8 commonly used languages including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French and German, and can also be customized for niche languages such as Arabic and Spanish. Teachers can switch the corresponding language of explanation based on the nationality composition of the students, ensuring that every student can understand and truly achieve barrier-free learning.

For instance, in the study tour groups of international schools, there are students in Chinese, English and Arabic. When the teacher switches to the corresponding language channel, the students can listen to the explanations in their native language and clearly understand the connotations of the exhibits. After an international school in the Middle East adopted this system, the learning satisfaction rate of students from different nationalities all reached 95%, and parents were also full of praise for this considerate service.

(4) Support the protection of cultural heritage and cultivate environmental awareness

Many of the exhibits in the museum are rather fragile. When a large number of students gather in front of them, breathing and touching may cause damage to the cultural relics. The MC200 can effectively disperse the flow of people. Students can visit at different locations within the exhibition area simultaneously, reducing the pressure caused by the gathering of people and indirectly protecting cultural heritage.

Meanwhile, the system does not require students to wear any personal devices, avoiding the risk of device loss or damage, and also reducing environmental pollution caused by the disposal of electronic devices. Teachers can take this opportunity to explain environmental protection knowledge to students, cultivate their environmental awareness and cultural heritage protection awareness, and make the significance of off-campus learning more profound.

Iii. Practical cases of overseas off-campus learning with visible effects

Over the years, MC200 has successfully served the museum study Tours of numerous overseas schools around the world, earning unanimous praise from teachers and museums with its strength.

(1) A certain international school in Europe: Barrier-free multilingual learning

This international school has students from over 20 countries, and language differences are the biggest obstacle to the study tour activities. After the introduction of MC200, the school customized six languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Arabic and Spanish. Students can choose channels according to their native language and listen to the explanations clearly.

The multi-zone independent operation function of the system enables students of different grades to visit different exhibition areas simultaneously without interfering with each other. The “Voice Rises when People Arrive” function enables students to freely explore, significantly enhancing their enthusiasm for learning. After the study tour, the students’ knowledge test scores increased by 25% compared to previous years. Many parents gave feedback: “The children can understand the explanations in their native language and truly acquire knowledge. Such off-campus learning is particularly meaningful.” “

(2) A middle school in Southeast Asia: Balancing independent exploration and safety

The study tour activities of this middle school emphasize “autonomous learning”, but previously, due to concerns about students’ safety and the effectiveness of explanations, students’ free activities were always restricted. After switching to the MC200, students can freely explore the exhibition area, closely observe the exhibits and take notes. Teachers only need to patrol the exhibition area and no longer have to force students to follow the group closely.

The dual-mode explanation function of the system makes learning more vivid. For instance, when explaining “local folk cultural relics”, the teacher plays the audio of folk activities, making students feel as if they were on the scene and enhancing their sense of identification with the local culture. The school has reported that after using this system, the quality of students’ study tour reports has significantly improved, and their awareness of protecting cultural heritage has also been notably enhanced.

(3) A certain primary school in the Middle East: The visit was orderly and efficient

This primary school organizes over a thousand students to participate in museum study Tours every year. Previously, due to chaotic organization and unclear explanations, the study Tours were not very effective. After the introduction of MC200, the school managed by grade channels. Different grades visited different exhibition areas simultaneously, and the order was well maintained. The teacher explained softly and the students could all hear clearly. There was no need to shout at the top of one’s voice anymore.

The museum reported that its reception efficiency has increased by three times compared to before, and it can accommodate more students for visits simultaneously. Teachers have reported that students’ concentration has significantly improved, safety issues have decreased, and the organization of study Tours has become easier.
