CUSTOMER STORY

Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) needed an easy way for teachers and students to wirelessly present in rooms and learning centers across campus. Director of Academic Technology Michael Wright began looking for an alternative to the cords and adapters the university was using.

“We needed a solution not only for convenience, but also for cost savings because adapters change frequently and go missing often,” Wright said.

NEOMED tested several screen sharing products before ultimately choosing Ditto.

“Other products were good but the cost of ownership was a concern for one, and cords were a concern with the other,” Wright said.

NEOMED chose Ditto for its:

• Ease of use
• Centralized device management
• Cost-effective pricing

Wright also noted that because Ditto does not require cables, adapters or specialized hardware, it minimizes physical touchpoints, which become a priority after the COVID-19 outbreak.

NEOMED deployed Ditto to 50 small group rooms and large classrooms across campus. Ditto allows students, faculty, staff and guests to wirelessly display a wide range of device screens to large displays in the room.

“Students in the learning centers are able to share screens at their individual student pods,” Wright said. “The instructor can pull that shared content onto the larger screen in the front of the classroom or share it among all the screens. That really makes it a versatile experience for the students and staff.”

NEOMED continues to expand its initial Ditto rollout as new learning spaces are developed. In 2026, the university added Ditto to 40 additional spaces across campus. The university also plans to look into using Ditto digital signage on displays across campus.
