Smartboard-Powered SmartClassroom at UniSHAMS

Smartboard technology has found a new home at Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah (UniSHAMS), a leading private Islamic institution in Kedah, which is embracing digital transformation through the adoption of Arvia smart classroom solution. This initiative marks a bold step toward educational modernization, enabling the university to foster an interactive, collaborative, and tech-driven learning environment that benefits both students and educators across all disciplines.

A Complete SmartClassroom Transformation

The technology package supplied by Arvia includes the acclaimed ARV100 65-inch smartboard, a high-resolution lecture camera, and a high-performance projector. This trio of tools forms the foundation of a complete SmartClassroom system designed to transform traditional lecture sessions into engaging, tech-enabled educational experiences. With this upgrade, UniSHAMS aims to enhance both in-person and remote learning effectiveness.

ARV100 65-Inch Smartboard: Interactive Learning Redefined

The cornerstone of the new system is the Arvia ARV100 65-inch smartboard. This interactive digital board offers exceptional functionality for educators and students alike. Featuring a large, vivid high-definition display and multi-touch interface, it supports real-time writing, drawing, and annotation directly on the screen. For lecturers teaching Islamic jurisprudence, law, and IT subjects, the ability to demonstrate and annotate directly during class enhances clarity and deepens student understanding. Designed to support various teaching formats, the smartboard seamlessly integrates with software applications, presentation tools, and online platforms. Whether instructors are explaining complex fiqh topics or presenting legal case studies, the ARV100 enhances the clarity and engagement of their lessons, making it a powerful teaching companion.

High-Resolution Camera for Lecture Recording and Remote Learning

As part of the SmartClassroom setup, UniSHAMS also received a high-resolution camera optimized for educational use. This device enables live-streaming and lecture capture in high definition, allowing students to participate remotely or access recorded classes at their convenience. It is particularly valuable for part-time students, online learners, or those enrolled in UniSHAMS’ distance education programs. The camera’s ability to record lectures provides a crucial benefit—flexibility. Students who miss a session can catch up, revise critical segments, and improve their grasp of complex subjects. This is especially beneficial in an academic setting that values both traditional Islamic knowledge and modern sciences.

Advanced Projector: Enhancing Lecture Hall Capabilities

Also included in the package is a versatile projector, designed to support lectures in larger spaces or for group presentations. This high-lumen projector provides crisp, vibrant visuals even in well-lit classrooms. Ideal for postgraduate courses and public seminars, it enables UniSHAMS to deliver lectures to larger audiences without compromising the visibility of diagrams, videos, or slide decks. From visualizing Quranic manuscripts to presenting statistical data in business and IT courses, the projector serves as an invaluable resource in delivering content with precision and visual impact.

Supporting Diverse Academic Needs

UniSHAMS’ curriculum spans diverse disciplines such as Islamic studies, Shariah law, education, information technology, and management. The flexibility of the Arvia SmartClassroom system makes it an ideal fit across all departments. The smartboard’s real-time annotation capabilities are perfect for interactive tafsir discussions, while the projector aids detailed business model analyses in management courses. This deployment underscores how technology can bridge traditional Islamic learning with modern pedagogical tools—offering a balanced, future-ready academic experience.

A Strategic Investment in the Future of Education

The decision by UniSHAMS to implement this digital teaching suite illustrates a broader vision of educational excellence. Investing in the SmartClassroom solution positions the university as a pioneer in integrating Islamic values with advanced teaching technologies. This step ensures that UniSHAMS’ students are not only rooted in religious knowledge but also prepared for a tech-savvy world. Moreover, the university’s initiative aligns with Malaysia’s broader push toward digital transformation in education. By reducing reliance on printed materials and static presentations, and encouraging interactivity and digital collaboration, UniSHAMS demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and 21st-century education standards.

Continuous Support and Faculty Training

To ensure maximum benefit from the system, Arvia Solutions provides hands-on training sessions for UniSHAMS faculty. These workshops help instructors become proficient in operating the smartboard and other tools, integrating them effectively into their daily lesson plans. Arvia’s technical support team also remains on standby for troubleshooting, system updates, and additional support.
