John Keells Group Senior Assistant Vice President and Head of Office Automation - JKOA Malik Edwin stated, “At JKOA our priority is to offer the highest standards of service, which has led us to cater to the market for over 25 years to a group of highly satisfied customers. As a result of the trust our customers have placed in us, we have managed to penetrate the education segment during the last five years through Smartboards.”

Smartboards are becoming vital for the education industry as well as for corporates, as we continue to study and work remotely or in hybrid environments. It is important to continue to use interactive methods of teaching, while monitoring the behavior of the students and engaging with them at all levels of education. For corporates it is important that teams continue to collaborate effectively through challenging times, for continuous growth.           

John Keells Office Automation has been in the forefront, in providing reliable solutions for the education sector to strengthen their efforts for effective distant teaching and learning. JKOA has sold over 3000* Smartboards across the country to multiple schools and organisations. This includes 300+ units to provincial education projects, 112 units to D.S. Senanayake College, Colombo, 98 units to Hindu College, Jaffna, 72 units to Bandaranayake College, Gampaha, 38 units to Wycherley International School, Colombo and multiple private and government schools, island wide.

JKOA also worked together with the ministry of education to establish digitally enabled classroom projects to facilitate distance learning at universities and vocational training centres. This has resulted in an overall better teaching experience for the lecturers. For example, Ceylon German Technical Training Institute has been able to use the 3D annotation technology available on our Smartboards for better illustrations of the machinery and equipment for the students. 

Smartboard solutions offered by JKOA also allow better analysis and helps corporates to conduct more productive meetings and trainings. Multiple corporates in Sri Lanka use it to analyse data across the company, through more interactive annotations.
