The SWIPE Hybrid Classroom Solution at SMJK Chong Hwa, Kuala Lumpur is a significant upgrade to the school’s two multipurpose STEM labs, addressing the dual challenges of teacher shortages and the need for innovative, flexible learning environments. Supported by a governmental budget to establish STEM classrooms, the school’s management implemented a comprehensive, tech-driven solution that enables both in-class and remote learning, fostering better interaction, engagement, and collaboration for students and teachers alike.
Combining the existing projector system, the solution introduced to the school for the first STEM lab includes:
- a SWIPE 4K All-in-One Camera that can record the lessons in Full HD visuals, ensuring that students have a clear view of the content, whether they are in the classroom or attending remotely.
- a SWIPE Board Hybrid that can digitalize handwriting instantly, which allows for real-time sharing and collaboration. The handwriting notes can be saved instantly by scanning the QR code generated from the board.
- a SWIPE WMC+ (Wireless Media Collaborative System) that allows anyone to project their screen wirelessly by using buttons, apps or BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) receivers.
- Smart furniture, that includes foldable chairs and modular tables, creating flexible setups for group discussions, promoting collaborative learning.
- SWIPE 1Mic, a wireless voice enhancement system that ensures teachers can speak at a normal volume while their voice is amplified clearly throughout the classroom, freeing them from the need for a wired microphone.
- STEM Board, which is an attachable and movable board equipped with a wall track system. The use of the STEM Board enables easy display of group work, which can be recorded for discussion and feedback.
The second STEM lab is an upgraded version from the solution of the first STEM lab. The second lab is longer than the first lab, thus a PTZ Camera is adopted to capture Full HD 1080P visuals with 10x/20x optical zoom function. This camera can capture a wider range of classroom activities, providing high-quality streaming for online students.
Besides, a SWIPE Board, a high performance interactive large touch panel is set up in the second lab. SWIPE Board has 20 touch points that support multi-user annotation, enabling the teacher and students to interact with the screen simultaneously. It also supports up to 4 split screen presentations for team review and collaboration.
In addition, the second lab is equipped with 2 pieces of SWIPE Board Hybrid, where the teacher has additional space for digital handwriting. SWIPE Board Hybrid enables teachers to solve academic problems by having better interaction with students, while students can understand the teaching process more easily, so their enthusiasm in classroom participation will be enhanced.
The integration of SWIPE Hybrid Classroom Solution allows for both in-person and remote participation, addressing the issue of teacher shortages by enabling effective hybrid learning. The solution encourages more dynamic interaction between teachers and students, making offline and online lessons more interesting. The lab’s modernized setup has been popular, with frequent bookings indicating that the labs are being used effectively.
