Product: 22-inch Electronic Class Board (DS-D6122TH-D/C)
Universitas Indonesia is one of the country’s most prestigious universities. In other parts of the university, faculties have begun to replace whiteboards with interactive displays in order to enhance the learning environment for students. Recently, the Faculty of Fiscal Administrative Sciences has constructed a new eco-friendly and smart building and wanted to create a pilot of Hikvision’s smart education solutions in order to explore the impact of digital learning tools.
The pilot classroom includes an 86-inch 4K Interactive Display (DS-D5C86RB/B) for dynamic presentations and collaborative learning. It features light protection which filters out over 60% of ultrashort-wave blue light to protect students’ eyes and make long lectures more comfortable to follow. A 22-inch Electronic Class Board (DS-D6122TH-D/C) shows class schedules and announcements, as well as simplifies attendance through facial recognition or ID card scanning. There's also a 4K lecture-recording camera (DS-2CD7186G0-IZS) and a 32-mic array (DS-UAC-M1P) for high-quality audio-visual capture for hybrid and online learning. An Education and Sharing System (DS-9604LNI-V/B12) manages lecture recording, whilst online learning and conferences are supported with Hikvision’s Classin Software.
Together, these smart classroom technologies are already delivering many of the benefits of digital technologies in higher education. The interactive display, for example, allows lecturers to zoom-in on detailed parts of graphs and annotate directly on the screen. This is particularly beneficial for a faculty such as Fiscal Administrative Sciences where complex graphs, regulations, and models feature so heavily. It is also a very dynamic domain, and academics are now benefiting from the ability to use up-to-date, real-world case studies to create hybrid classes which combine lectures with online resources.
The smart classroom pilot has also demonstrated the great potential for online learning. The university's e-learning program, UI MOOCS, currently has over 750 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and 175 cascade courses. In the future, it could easily be enhanced with the faculty's new smart classroom technologies.
Another advantage of these products is their eco-friendliness which fits in well with the faculty's environmental plan. Both the Interactive Display and the Electronic Class Board have built-in light sensor modules. These automatically adjust screen brightness based on the surrounding lighting conditions, saving energy without compromising the clarity of the displays. They are also Energy Star certified, meeting the strict guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
By using Hikvision's solutions, Universitas Indonesia has strengthened security and started a journey of digital education transformation. The success of the library access control system and the smart classroom pilot is an excellent start for campus-wide implementation. Dr. Neni Susilawati, a lecturer at the Faculty of Fiscal Administration Science, said: "We are dedicated to building a modern and innovative educational environment. With Hikvision's technological support, we are working together to create a better future for education."
