Ashraya’s Smart Panels initiative aims to integrate modern technology into classrooms, particularly in under-resourced schools, to enhance learning outcomes. These interactive digital displays transform traditional teaching methods by offering dynamic and engaging ways to deliver educational content. By turning classrooms into smart learning environments, Ashraya is paving the way for a more interactive, effective, and inclusive education system.

Key Features of Ashraya’s Smart Panels:

1. Interactive Learning for Better Engagement

Smart Panels facilitate touch-based interaction, allowing students and teachers to write, draw, and manipulate multimedia directly on the screen. This interactivity enhances understanding through hands-on activities, visuals, and animations, making complex concepts easier to grasp.

2. Curriculum-Aligned Digital Content

The panels are preloaded with high-quality digital content tailored to various subjects and grade levels. The content is aligned with educational curricula, providing students with an enriched learning experience that caters to different abilities.

3. Seamless Integration with Digital Tools

Smart Panels connect effortlessly with other digital tools like tablets (from Ashraya’s OTPC initiative), computers, and cloud resources. This integration allows teachers to access diverse materials, track student progress, and create a cohesive digital learning ecosystem.

4. Real-Time Collaboration Opportunities

Students can collaborate on group projects or solve problems together using the panels. Teachers can use this feature for interactive discussions, real-time feedback, and showcasing student work, fostering a participatory and inclusive classroom environment.

5. Empowering Teachers with Training

To maximise the potential of Smart Panels, Ashraya provides comprehensive teacher training. This equips educators with the skills to leverage the panels effectively, transitioning from traditional lecture-based teaching to more interactive, student-centred methods.

6. Multimedia-Driven Lessons

With support for videos, images, and interactive media, Smart Panels cater to various learning styles - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. This multimedia approach keeps students engaged and helps them retain knowledge more effectively.

7. Advancing STEM and AI Education

As a key tool in Ashraya’s Pingal Program (focused on STEM, robotics, and AI), Smart Panels are instrumental in teaching advanced topics. Students can explore robotics, code interactively, and visualise complex STEM concepts, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

8. Bridging the Digital Divide

In underserved and remote areas, Smart Panels bring advanced technology to schools lacking basic infrastructure. This initiative ensures that students in marginalised communities have access to the same quality of education as those in urban centres.

9. Cloud-Enabled Learning Resources

Smart Panels are often connected to cloud platforms, enabling teachers and students to access an extensive library of learning materials. This feature provides flexibility, allowing lessons to be enriched with up-to-date resources and enabling remote access when needed.

10. Enhanced Monitoring and Assessment

Teachers can use the panels to conduct live assessments, quizzes, and polls during lessons. This real-time feedback mechanism helps educators understand student progress and tailor their teaching strategies accordingly.

11. Customised and Inclusive Learning

Smart Panels support personalised learning by adapting to individual and group needs. Whether it’s individual practice, collaborative projects, or customised lesson plans, the panels accommodate diverse teaching strategies to ensure every student benefits.

12. Scalability and Sustainability

Ashraya’s initiative is designed for long-term impact. Smart Panels are scalable to fit various school settings, from small rural schools to larger urban institutions, with ongoing technical support and updates to keep them functional and effective.

13. Transforming the Classroom Environment

By introducing Smart Panels, Ashraya is transforming traditional classrooms into technology-driven hubs of learning. This shift not only improves student participation but also fosters curiosity, innovation, and academic excellence.

Revolutionising Education, One Classroom at a Time

Ashraya’s Smart Panels are more than just a technological upgrade - they represent a commitment to modernising education and bridging the digital divide. By fostering interactive, multimedia-rich classrooms, Ashraya is creating an environment where students and teachers can thrive, preparing learners for the challenges of a digital world.

This initiative aligns with Ashraya’s broader vision to empower under-resourced schools with digital solutions, ensuring every child has access to quality education that inspires curiosity, innovation, and lifelong learning.
