Arvia Smartboard AI USIM was recently showcased to staff at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, through the Israk Solutions and Arvia partner network. USIM staff explored the board hands-on, including a standout moment where the display was adjusted to function like a smart table for collaborative group work.

Project Challenge

Like many institutions weighing an interactive display upgrade, USIM staff needed a clear, hands-on understanding of what an AI-powered smartboard could actually do beyond a standard touchscreen. Universities in particular need technology that can serve more than one purpose, since the same room might host a lecture in the morning and a small committee meeting in the afternoon.

Without seeing a board handle both scenarios directly, it can be difficult for a decision-making team to judge whether a single piece of equipment can genuinely support such different needs across a university’s teaching and administrative spaces. Reading a spec sheet or watching a promotional video only goes so far when a team is trying to picture how a tool like this would actually fit into their own lecture halls, meeting rooms and everyday routines.

Solution Provided

Through the Israk Solutions and Arvia network, USIM staff were given a live, hands-on Arvia Smartboard AI USIM demonstration, walking through the board’s core functions in a real setting rather than a slide presentation. Instead of only explaining the features, staff were able to try the board directly, giving them a genuine feel for how it responds and how it could support their day-to-day work across both teaching and meeting settings.

Key Features

A few features stood out during the session, giving USIM staff a practical sense of how the board could fit into both teaching and meeting environments.

Smart Table Mode for Collaborative Work

One of the highlights of the session was seeing the smartboard adjusted so it could function like a smart table, allowing staff to gather around it and interact with content together rather than facing a wall-mounted screen.

Hands-On Interactive Demonstration

Rather than a passive walkthrough, the session focused on letting USIM staff explore the smartboard themselves, from writing and annotation to navigating its AI-assisted tools, so they could form their own impression of how it performs in practice. Several staff members took turns using the board, which helped surface practical questions about day-to-day use that a formal presentation alone would not have raised.

Built for Teaching and Meeting Spaces

As a university, USIM’s interest in the smartboard spans both academic and administrative settings, from lecture halls to meeting rooms, and the demonstration was designed to reflect that range. Staff who attended were able to picture the board being used for lecturing to a full class in one setting, and being adjusted into smart table mode for a smaller working group in another.

Why This Demo Mattered

For a university weighing a technology upgrade, a hands-on session tends to carry more weight than a written proposal. The Arvia Smartboard AI USIM demonstration let staff form their own view of the board’s usability, responsiveness and flexibility, rather than relying only on a vendor’s description of the product. Seeing the smart table mode in person, in particular, gave a clearer sense of what day-to-day collaborative use could actually look like, rather than something that only sounds useful on paper.

Sessions like this also give the Israk Solutions and Arvia team a chance to understand how a real institution like USIM actually plans to use a smartboard, which helps shape recommendations for the specific mix of teaching and meeting-room needs a university like this tends to have. The Arvia Smartboard AI USIM session is one example of that ongoing, practical approach.

Project Outcome

The Arvia Smartboard AI USIM demonstration gave staff a clearer, firsthand understanding of what the board can offer, particularly the smart table mode that sparked strong interest among attendees. Sessions like this reflect how Israk Solutions works alongside Arvia to support Malaysian institutions, including universities exploring digital tools for education, such as those highlighted by Robopreneur in the broader STEM and innovation space.
