Solstice is the collaboration platform Auburn University uses in our Engaged and Active Student Learning classrooms (EASL). It makes it easy for learners and instructors to share their devices with the room displays. Solstice pods are available in all ACLC and Mell EASL classrooms, lecture halls, and study rooms. Once connected to the Solstice pod, you can wirelessly share presentation materials or multimedia content.
For more general information about Solstice, see the SolsticeGetting Started user guide.
Download the Solstice app.
Please email bighelp@auburn.edu or book time with Biggio Tech if you would like to set up a training.
Please note: If you have previously installed the Solstice app, skip step 2.
1. Connect your device to AU_WiFi.
2. Download and install the Mersive Solstice app to your device directly from https://www.mersive.com/download/
3. After opening the Solstice app, type in the IP address at the top right and bottom left of the Solstice solstice into the search bar and click enter.
4. When prompted, enter the 4-digit key shown on the displays in the room; this key will change for each use.
5. Once connected, select what you would like to share. The desktop will share your entire device screen. AppWindow will allow you to share a single app window like PowerPoint or web browser. Media files will allow you to share an individual audio or video file.
It is recommended that students not connect to the classroom display until prompted for their breakout rooms. Breakout rooms make individual pods and screen keys for each color grouping/display. Users must disconnect from the classroom display to connect to their group’s display.
In breakout mode, each display in the classroom will have its own display name, IP address, and screen key for students to log into.
Using the AMX control panel, you can switch to Student Led mode, then select the color groups to display one group's display to all classroom displays.
Mac Laptop users should know that you must give Solstice permissions for content and screen sharing.
