HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The education sector is entering a period of rapid digital transformation, with AI technologies reshaping expectations and amplifying good educational practices across primary, secondary, and higher education establishments. As generative AI and intelligent systems become more widely adopted, institutions are now expected to support in-person, remote, and blended learning simultaneously while maintaining consistency in teaching quality and student engagement. Educators face mounting pressure from heavy preparation workloads, inefficient classroom interactions, and fragmented teaching data. Students, meanwhile, expect increasingly engaging and personalized learning experiences.
A new generation of AI-enabled, education-first designed solutions—such as Hikvision's WonderHub—is beginning to address these challenges. By combining intelligent interactive flat panel displays (IFPDs) with cloud-based collaboration and management platforms, educational institutions can create connected classrooms that support teachers across lesson planning, delivery, and follow-up.
AV Magazine and Hikvision have collaborated to release a new white paper for IT decision-makers and education leaders, providing a strategic overview of how to achieve smart education by transforming the full teaching lifecycle through AI-centered interactive flat panel displays and cloud collaboration.
- Before class: how AI streamlines lesson planning and content creation
With AI-powered cloud collaboration and management platforms such as Hikvision's WonderHub Class, AI acts as a creative assistant, generating structured lesson outlines, discovering relevant multimedia resources, and rapidly creating interactive activities such as quizzes and games from simple text prompts. This shifts preparation from a time-consuming manual process to a more efficient, creative workflow, returning valuable time to educators. - During class: how AI enhances real-time teaching and student engagement
AI-powered interactive displays, such as Hikvision's WonderHub IFPDs, combined with the AI voice assistant, enable hands-free voice control, allowing teachers to manage applications and content without disrupting lesson flow. On-screen content recognition provides instant explanations for circled objects or formulas, while real-time collaborative tools and AI-generated multilingual captions create a more inclusive and participatory environment for all students, whether in-person or remote. - After class: how AI automates workflows and delivers data-driven insights
Through the WonderHub Class cloud platform, the system automatically generates structured lesson summaries, including key discussion points and homework tasks, for student revision. It can also assist in creating, distributing, and grading assignments, dramatically reducing the marking burden. Furthermore, the platform synchronizes all materials to the cloud and transforms classroom interaction data into visual analytics, providing educators with evidence-based insights to refine their teaching strategies continuously.
AI-driven smart education transforms the classroom from a collection of disconnected devices into a unified, responsive teaching ecosystem—reducing administrative workload, enhancing accessibility, and turning every lesson into a foundation for continuous improvement.

How to effectively leverage AI-powered intelligent displays and cloud collaboration to transform the full teaching lifecycle
ATLANTA, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on its RDK Video Accelerator set-top box (STB) based on the Broadcom BCM74116, Sercomm (TWSE: 5388), a leading provider of telecom and broadband equipment, is collaborating with Broadcom to make the device available as reference hardware for application developers, and will serve as a YouTube reference device. Designed for application development, validation, and testing on RDK, the solution provides a high-performance foundation for next-generation video entertainment, interactive TV experiences, cloud gaming, and AI-enabled services.
"Continuing our strong collaboration with Broadcom to deliver open-environments, we are pleased to make this reference device available to support the RDK application developer community," said Daniel Whalen, Chief Commercial Officer of Sercomm. "By providing a dedicated open-environment for development and testing, we aim to help accelerate application validation and enable a smoother path toward deployment on RDK-based consumer devices. For service providers, the STB combines LPDDR5 memory, edge AI capabilities, and the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies, providing a flexible foundation for integration into their products and services."
"The Sercomm 74116 platform is a highly integrated 4K streaming receiver equipped with advanced Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 antennas. It boasts a robust suite of next-generation features, including a neural processing unit for edge AI applications, Matter and Thread compatibility for seamless smart home connectivity, and Post-Quantum Cryptography to safeguard digital assets and user privacy. Additionally, the platform supports intelligent super scaling, multi-view displays, and both Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) video and graphics to deliver an enhanced viewing experience, said Lewis Brewster, Vice President of Marketing, Wireless Broadband Communication, Broadcom. "By collaborating with Sercomm on an RDK video accelerator, the Sercomm 74116 platform delivers a robust, scalable solution to the developer community and the operator market."
RDK open-source software standardizes many of the core functions used in broadband and video devices. By standardizing these core functions, service providers can develop and deploy a consistent set of applications and services across geographies, hardware, SoC suppliers, and video and broadband access networks (GPON, DOCSIS, DSL, and fixed wireless). RDK enables service providers to manage their devices; control their own UI/UX and app experiences; and harmonize device telemetry and analytics to improve the customer experience and business results.
For video, RDK standardizes core enabling functions like audio/video playback, conditional access, DRM, networking, captions, emergency alerts, voice control, telemetry, and more across a wide range of hardware. It is designed to streamline operators' ability to develop, test and deploy video services and apps across silicon and device manufacturers.
"Sercomm has been an active and committed member of the RDK community for many years, and making this device available as reference hardware is a natural extension of that contribution," said Jason Briggs, President and GM of RDK. "Ready access to current, high-performance hardware removes a real barrier for developers who want to build, test, and validate applications on RDK. The whole community benefits when that path is easier, from application developers and silicon and device partners through to the service providers bringing new video experiences to their customers."
