Immersive Learning at CIT with Hybrid Learning

Canberra Institute of Technology partnered with Cisco to design its digital vertical campus, deploying devices campuswide for immersive hybrid learning and smarter space use.

Modern spaces. Secure learning

Canberra Institute of Technology needed to transform classrooms into inclusive, immersive hybrid spaces while strengthening cybersecurity and advancing its digital campus

About Canberra Institute of Technology

Canberra Institute of Technology is a leading vocational education provider, delivering 200+ nationally recognised courses across trades, technology, business and creative industries

Challenge

As CIT moved into a compact vertical campus, it took the opportunity to reimagine traditional classrooms into secure, immersive hybrid learning spaces that could support inclusive delivery, specialist training, and future workforce demands
 

  • Redesign learning spaces to support immersive, hybrid delivery with students at the center of every teaching experience
  • Integrate space, technology and pedagogy to create a cohesive, future-focused smart campus environment
  • Standardise digital classrooms across programs while enabling specialist, high-impact training spaces
  • Strengthen cybersecurity and compliance to protect students, data and critical infrastructure

Solution

Cisco Catalyst networking and Cisco Collaboration devices unified 95+ learning spaces, creating secure, standardised hybrid classrooms that enable immersive teaching, accessibility, and data-informed campus operations.
 

  • Webex Suite unified meetings, messaging and calling into one secure platform, enabling seamless hybrid learning and cross-campus collaboration
  • Webex AI features ensured clear voices, integrated transcription, live translations, automated note-taking to enhance accessibility and inclusivity
  • Cisco Devices deployed across 95 spaces to standardize AV for hybrid learning, staff collaboration, and industry-led presentations
  • Cisco Catalyst Switches and Wifi Solutions allows networks to scale and efficiently manage remote locations

Outcomes

Inclusive Hybrid Learning at Scale

Cisco's AI solutions enabled accessible, immersive learning across 95 spaces, deepening student engagement.

Secure Foundation for Hybrid Learning

Catalyst networking replaced segregated systems with a unified, layered architecture supporting secure, inclusive hybrid delivery

Data-Informed Learning Spaces

Visibility into occupancy and delivery modes enables smarter space allocation and continuous campus improvement

    Designing Learning Around Students

    Canberra Institute of Technology's transition to the Woden vertical campus was a chance to rethink how space, technology, and teaching work together.

    Before a single classroom was finalized for use, prototype spaces were tested and refined.

    The result is a campus where Cisco devices, software, and secure networking felt naturally integrated, because they were designed in from the start.

    Across 95+ learning spaces, immersive hybrid environments now support live demonstrations, collaborative discussions, and inclusive participation through Cisco’s AI-powered translation and transcription.

    By placing students at the centre of every design decision, CIT has created activated learning spaces that elevate engagement and empower diverse learners to thrive.

    Activating a Smart Learning Ecosystem

    With Cisco Catalyst networking and wireless access points as the secure backbone, CIT unified previously segregated systems into a layered, campus-wide architecture.

    Every classroom, collaboration zone, and common area is connected through consistent AV standards and Cisco integration.

    Within months of opening, the campus began generating actionable insight into occupancy and delivery modes, enabling smarter scheduling and space allocation.

    More than 1,100 hours of Cisco screen usage in shared areas during the first 10 weeks reflects strong student adoption and validates CIT’s vision of an integrated, data-informed learning ecosystem.

    Building for the Workforce of Tomorrow

    As a recognised leader in cyber security and electric vehicle education, CIT needed learning spaces that matched industry expectations.

    The Webex Suite and AI-enabled Cisco devices bring real-world collaboration tools into classrooms, enabling high-impact demonstrations, industry presentations, and hybrid participation.

    The result is a secure, scalable digital campus that supports inclusive delivery across more than 200 nationally recognised courses.

    By aligning technology with its 10-year “Skilling for the Future” strategy, CIT has positioned itself as a future-focused institution shaping the next generation of skilled professionals.
