Winning with EXPLORE 2 touch screen: Brockenhurst college’s roll-out success

Brockenhurst College, a 16+ FE college in Hampshire, has consistently embraced innovative teaching technology over the last 15 years. From early adoption of data projection systems to today’s rollout of large-format interactive displays, the college has continually invested in tools that enrich teaching and learning. In 2025, Brockenhurst launched a major programme to equip every curriculum teaching room with Legamaster EXPLORE 2 interactive touch panels (75"), each with the optional Android 13 OPS module. This upgrade forms part of the college’s broader digital transformation strategy.

We have been delighted with the feedback and adoption of the new Legamaster touch panels. They form part of a greater digital technology roll-out. The functionality, reliability, and warranty give us peace of mind.
