Innovating Learning Spaces
Traditional classroom teaching is being replaced by new and innovative teaching and learning activities. Interactive educational tools in smart classrooms are driving this transformation, supported by a proliferation of education technologies and propelled by the demands of hybrid learning in the new normal.
All indicators suggest massive growth: the Global EdTech & Smart Classroom Market size is expected to reach USD$99.5 billion in 2021, and projected to grow at a CAGR of 19.34% reaching USD$241.58 billion by 2026.

Advancing Digital Education for the Next Generation

Education has always been the engine for long-term economic growth. It leads to greater productivity by sparking interest in science and progress in the next generation. And it is not only the classroom systems themselves that present opportunities for digital advancement.
By fully utilizing new technologies in education, such as SG, Al, and cloud computing, and integrating them into course development and education services platforms, we can help to ensure a better, brighter future for everyone.

Challenges

Trends

• The cloud offers numerous options for higher education that enables services to continue and accelerate, even during a crisis. This has spurred policies to factor in the establishment of on line education management platforms and the production of online course content as core strategic goals across the education industry. Al chatbots are another technology trend that many higher education institutions are scaling and continuing to develop for future expanded use based on their prevalence and popularity with students during the COVID-19 pandemic.1
• Hybrid classrooms that allow faculty to teach students on campus and online at the same time are predicted to encompass 25% of all core teaching by 2025. Thus, more online content creation spaces are needed and physical lab spaces need to be virtualized. Campuses must become adaptable to meet these optimizations. To avoid hybrid fatigue, though, the key for education providers is to balance hybrid learning setups with new forms of live or asynchronous learning and content delivery methods. This presents many opportunities for smart classroom solution providers 2
• As interactive multimedia classrooms become more popular, there is an increase in the kinds of devices being used in the classroom. More content needs to be displayed, and this will  see both more displays in total and also an increase in the ways that displays are utilized.
• For example, multi-view options are becoming increasingly necessary. Furthermore, with livestreaming and broadcasting becoming essential elements of the hybrid classroom, especially in PBL scenarios, video signal transmissions need to be bidirectional for fully interactive learning.

Media Classroom

Multimedia Classroom for an Industry-focused Vocational High School
A vocational high school that collaborates with industry and further education institutes wanted to upgrade its classrooms to provide students with a more convenient learning environment when utilizing educational resources. Their multimedia classrooms needed to provide one display to be shared between every two students so that each can watch lecture content clearly. Further main requirements for the multimedia classrooms were to improve teaching content accessibility, integrate interactive whiteboards to support joint focus in collaborative learning, and to be BYOD-enabled so teaching assistants and visiting instructors could connect their own laptops.

• Each classroom requires 30 student stations equipped with PCs and three 4K smart panels for teaching
• There is a limited amount of power outlets available in the classrooms so PoE is required
• USB control channel is necessary for 4K smart  panel compatibility  and operations
• Must align with the museum’s plans for future expansion and be highly flexible and scalable

| The solution offers bi-directional content and display transmission between the instructor and the students, allowing students to focus fully on content, to share work results, and discuss collaboratively with the instructor. With USB functionality, students can share content on the main screen while the instructor can simultaneously operate the students’ computer via touch input on the smart panel. The system is built on standard network architecture and offers high expansion flexibility for current use and for adding extra devices in the future.
