The Malaysian distributor for SMART, EP-TEC Solutions managing director K.N. Loh said that the SMART Regional Training Centre, located in Selangor, offered the latest educational technologies, including the interactive whiteboard (IWB).

"SMART pioneered the IWB in 1991, and this year, 1 million SMART IWBs have been shipped," said Loh. "The benefits of interactive technologies in classrooms have been lauded by number of studies and educational institutions, Asia still lags in adoption."

Founded in 1987, SMART Technologies, which is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, maintains a broad portfolio of education-related patents, as well as providing interactive SMART whiteboards to more than 100 countries.
