Smart Learning Transform’s Higher Education 

The Faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura launched Sri Lanka’s first fully integrated smart classroom—designed to revolutionize how students engage with academic content through immersive and flexible learning environments. EWIS, as the Edutec partner, delivered the full turnkey solution that powered this ground-breaking educational leap. 

About our customer 

The University of Sri Jayewardenepura is one of Sri Lanka’s premier national universities,known for pioneering advancements in education, particularly within the Faculty of Applied Sciences. 

Challenges addressed 

The university aimed to create a classroom environment that supported varied pedagogical approaches, group collaboration, hands-on learning, and the use of advanced digital tools—none of which were supported by traditional classroom settings. 

Transformation delivered 

EWIS implemented a smart classroom for 80 students with reconfigurable seating, Smart Interactive Panels, Smart Podiums, Microsoft Virtual Desktops, and Classroom Management Software. The space could be split into two, adjusted for group work, or used for immersive sessions with Virtual Reality—making it the first of its kind in Sri Lanka. Students were also equipped with laptops, and lecturers received training to maximize the technology’s potential.

Empowering the future 

This state-of-the-art classroom has redefined the university learning experience—offering students interactive, flexible, and inclusive education that reflects global academic standards.
