With rapid developments in audio-visual technologies and the widespread availability of the Internet, many schools and universities moved to a hybrid learning model during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The hybrid learning environment consisted of live-streaming classes, recording lectures, distance learning, sharing teaching resources, and more.

Case Study: Taipei First Girls High School: Smart Campus
In 2020, AREC and Taipei First Girls High School launched the first “AREC Smart Campus Solution” project during the Covid-19 pandemic. AREC devices were installed in classrooms, meeting rooms, and auditoriums to meet the demand for distance education.
Teachers were now able to record and live stream classes simultaneously.
Class videos were uploaded to YouTube or other cloud platforms, allowing students to make up classes, which was not possible with the school’s previous video conferencing software.
Though lockdowns due to Covid-19 are in the past, the “Smart Campus” solution applies to every school and university. There is an expectation that hybrid learning environments are the norm – AREC Media Station helps schools and universities to achieve this, providing excellent value for money.
