Samsung Electronics has announced new education solutions for its Android-based Samsung Interactive Display lineup, making shared classroom displays easier to personalize and manage. The new features were unveiled and demonstrated at ISTELive 26, a leading education technology conference hosted by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), running from June 28 to July 1 in Orlando, Florida.
“Digital classrooms rely on the right balance of advanced hardware, smart software and intuitive user experiences,” said Hyoung Jae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing together AI and seamless connectivity, Samsung’s interactive display solutions are designed to foster a more versatile, connected learning environment where teachers and students can thrive.”
Samsung AMS: Personalizing the Shared Display Experience
In schools where multiple teachers use the same classroom display throughout the day, access and privacy can become daily challenges. Samsung Account Management Solution (AMS), which comes pre-installed on compatible Android-based Samsung Interactive Display models, allows each teacher to access their own account using a QR code or an NFC-enabled ID card. This streamlined sign-in experience helps schools manage shared devices without relying on local profiles tied to a single display.
With Home Personalization, Samsung AMS supports cloud-connected profiles, enabling teachers to access their preferred layout, wallpaper, bookmarks, app shortcuts, files and settings when they sign in to compatible displays in different classrooms. This effectively transforms any shared display into a personalized teaching workspace, giving teachers a consistent experience from room to room.
For added security, teachers can instantly activate a screen lock when they need to step away from the classroom for short periods.
As schools add more connected displays, IT teams need a more efficient way to manage users, devices and classroom permissions. Samsung Education Portal provides a central hub for IT managers to register teachers and enroll devices. For user management, NFC binding links NFC cards to teacher accounts so staff can sign in to shared displays with their assigned cards. IT teams can also enable Samsung AMS on selected displays and manage account access as needed, ensuring classrooms are ready for the next teacher.
Samsung Education Portal also includes Tags, a feature that lets IT teams group displays by school, building or classroom. These same tags can support emergency alerts, enabling schools to push pre-configured alerts to selected Samsung Interactive Displays through major notification platforms such as InformaCast and Raptor.
Samsung AI Assistant: Supporting Efficient Teaching and Active Learning
Samsung AI Assistant brings AI tools for common classroom tasks directly to compatible Android-based Samsung Interactive Displays. The app supports content discovery, transcription, summaries and quizzes, helping teachers maintain student focus, participation and comprehension throughout lessons.
With Circle to Search, teachers can circle on-screen text or images to find related information, visuals, videos and web links without leaving the display. Results can also be used in other classroom apps, such as Samsung Whiteboard, so teachers can bring supporting materials into the lesson more easily. Live Transcript converts spoken instruction into real-time text on the screen, making lessons more accessible for students with hearing impairments as well as multilingual learners.
Samsung AI Assistant also includes AI Summary and AI Quiz. Using recorded lesson content, AI Quiz generates questions that allow teachers to assess student comprehension in real time. This keeps students engaged through the end of the lesson while giving teachers instant visibility into class performance, including the overall correct answer rate. With Single Sign-On for Samsung AI Assistant through Samsung AMS, teachers can return to previous lesson materials, including AI-generated summaries, without signing in again.
Samsung Brings More Choice to Classroom Display Technology
Samsung AI Assistant is currently available following its April release, while Samsung AMS will be available starting in July alongside related Samsung Education Portal updates.
Samsung’s Android-based Interactive Display portfolio gives schools a range of options for classrooms, media rooms and shared learning spaces, with three new models: WAF-S, WAFX-PS and WAHX-M. These models, along with the existing WAF and WAFX-P series, support Samsung AI Assistant and Samsung AMS. The lineup is also EDLA-certified, providing seamless access to services such as Google Classroom and Google Drive, which further enrich the educational experience.
WAF-S and WAFX-PS build on previous models (WAF, WAFX-P) with an Android OS upgrade to Android 16. The new OS includes improvements in usability, accessibility, security and privacy. The upgrade gives schools a more advanced display experience while maintaining the familiarity of the core product.
WAHX-M introduces a 98-inch option to Samsung’s Interactive Display portfolio for the first time, supporting larger spaces such as lecture halls and conference rooms. Available in 65-, 75-, 86- and 98-inch sizes, WAHX-M supports on-device AI features including voice commands, AI calculator and text-to-speech, alongside Samsung AMS and the Samsung AI Assistant app.
