Overview
Chapman’s digital signage network consists of two parts:
- Various wall-mounted screens located across Chapman’s campus used for promotions.
- A central website found at signage.chapman.edu used to build and submit slides and manage screen content.
Through the central website, Chapman members can build slides and request them to be on the screens of their choice. A screen owner then reviews the slide to be approved or denied based on a variety of factors.
The digital signage network consists of more than 100 screens, including the Wilsontron, which is the large screen located by the Wilson Football Field.
