In December 2023, Pinkast Corporation Sdn. Bhd. completed a major milestone by deploying a fully equipped Hybrid Classroom at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) — reinforcing the university’s commitment to progressive learning and flexible education delivery.

This installation marks a significant enhancement to UPM’s instructional facilities, allowing educators to reach students both physically present and participating virtually with seamless efficiency.

As hybrid and blended learning become established norms in higher education, UPM recognised the importance of responding with an adaptable learning environment capable of supporting diverse modalities.

The goal was clear: create a classroom where lecturers can deliver content with ease, and students can engage meaningfully — whether they are on campus or connecting from afar.

To achieve this, Pinkast designed and implemented a hybrid teaching space that combines intuitive technology with practical usability — raising the standard for modern academic delivery.

The Hybrid Classroom at UPM brings together a suite of integrated systems that support smooth, interactive instruction:

✔ Advanced Interactive Display
A large smart panel delivers vivid visuals and responsive touch interaction — ideal for presentations, annotations, and collaborative content sharing.

✔ Camera Solutions with Clear Capture
Embedded cameras support clear video feeds of both the instructor and class activities, bringing remote learners closer to the live classroom experience.

✔ Professional‑Grade Sound System
High‑quality audio equipment ensures every voice is heard clearly — crucial for maintaining engagement across both physical and virtual attendees.

✔ Streamlined User Controls
An easy‑to‑operate control interface allows lecturers to manage display settings, audio, and conferencing tools without technical complexity — letting them focus on teaching.

Together, these elements create an environment that supports real‑time connection, lively interaction, and educational continuity for all participants.

Since its launch, the Hybrid Classroom at UPM has:

• Expanded opportunities for blended learning

• Enhanced faculty confidence in delivering digital‑integrated instruction

• Improved student engagement across both in‑person and online formats

• Provided a flexible platform for guest lectures, workshops, and distance participation

The installation reinforces UPM’s mission to blend technology with pedagogy — preparing graduates for a world where digital fluency and adaptive learning are essential.
