The opening of a cutting-edge smart classroom marked a significant step for the Lahore College for Women University (LCWU) in embracing digital education and empowering female students.

It is outfitted with the cutting-edge technology and interactive tools .

The programme also allows for interactive communication with 50 additional smart classroom sites that have been set up across Pakistan, in every province. An 86-inch Idea Hub with 16 microphones and 30 Video Digital Image Stabilization (VDI) for the students is part of the LCWU smart classroom.

It provides interactive displays, an interactive control centre, on-demand collaboration, interactive displays, virtual desktops, interactive whiteboards, classroom control systems, live virtual classrooms, and eLearning.

For both faculty and students, this cutting-edge facility will offer a creative and stimulating learning environment.

The National Academy for Higher Education of HEC will also receive assistance from the LCWU smart classroom project as it conducts the faculty development programmes virtually at universities throughout Pakistan, promoting ongoing development and professional advancement.

In his remarks at the event, the Federal Minister highlighted the value of integrating technology into education and expressed his interest in the smart classroom.

“The partnership between LCWU and HEC marks a significant milestone in turning universities into the smart institutions,” he said. The smart classroom initiative will transform the educational process, close educational gaps, and give students the tools they need to succeed in the digital age.
