Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), a leading public university in Indonesia, continuously innovates in education and research. One of their latest initiatives is collaborating with PT Nocola IoT Solution to develop Smart Classroom solutions. Smart Classroom is a modern classroom that utilizes digital technology to enhance interaction and learning effectiveness. This collaboration aims not only to improve the quality of education at IPB but also to serve as a model for other educational institutions in Indonesia.
Smart Classroom Solutions: Functions and Features
1. Room Occupancy Detection
One of the main features of Smart Classroom is its ability to detect the number of people in the room. Using sensors and IoT technology, this system can automatically count and monitor the number of people present in the classroom. This information is very useful for managing room capacity and ensuring that the number of students present aligns with the specified limit. Additionally, this data can be used for attendance and participation analysis.
2. Remote and Automated Control of Electronic Devices
Smart Classroom is equipped with a system that allows remote and automatic control of electronic devices. Teachers can manage projectors, digital whiteboards, lighting, and other devices through an app connected to the IoT system. This not only enhances convenience but also energy efficiency in the room. For instance, electronic devices can be automatically turned off when not in use, thus saving electricity.
3. Emergency Condition Alert System
Safety is a crucial aspect of the educational environment. Smart Classroom is equipped with an alert system that can notify in case of emergency conditions, such as fire or earthquakes. This system is connected to sensors that can detect changes in room conditions and send real-time alerts to the authorities. With this feature, the safety and security of students and staff can be better ensured.
4. Digital Interaction and Collaboration
Smart Classroom enables more dynamic interaction and collaboration between teachers and students. Through integrated educational software, teachers can deliver lessons interactively, while students can actively participate through their devices. This feature includes the use of a digital whiteboard that allows teachers to write and draw directly, as well as an interactive projector that can clearly display multimedia content. Students can also access learning materials online and collaborate on virtual projects, creating a more engaging and effective learning environment.

1. Enhancing the Quality of Learning
With advanced technology and interactive features, Smart Classroom can enhance the quality of learning at IPB. Teachers can deliver material in a more interesting and easily understandable way, while students can be more actively involved in the teaching and learning process. Additionally, access to online learning materials allows students to learn independently and at their own pace.
2. Efficient Classroom Management
The room occupancy detection feature and automatic control of electronic devices can improve the efficiency of classroom management. Information on the number of students present can help manage room capacity, while automatic control of electronic devices can save energy usage. This not only positively impacts the environment but also reduces operational costs.
3. Improved Safety and Security
With the emergency condition alert system, safety and security in the classroom can be better ensured. Sensors connected to the IoT system can detect changes in conditions and send real-time notifications, allowing for quick and appropriate preventive measures. This is crucial to ensure that the learning environment remains safe for students and staff.
