Introduction to smart classroom

1. Introduction to smart classroom "Smart" products have infiltrated the market with the intention to make our lives easier — at home, in the workplace, everywhere. Setting aside the recognizable challenges of deploying these technologies on the enterprise scale in higher education, our team is beginning to ask, "How we can make better use of Smart Classrooom our faculty and students' time by delegating routine tasks to smart technology?" This is a particularly good question in the context of teaching and learning. What if the answer is a smart classroom? Consider the following examples: As an instructor enters the room,smart classroom solution provider in Pakistan the classroom computer automatically logs her in; based on that individual instructor's preferences, a browser opens and loads a specific web page/location (e.g., a Canvas course site or Box folder). Rather than manually adjusting classroom lighting and audio levels or physically signing in to the classroom computer, the instructor uses spoken-word commands to complete these actions. Prior to the start of class, students waiting in the hallway receive, via their mobile devices, just-in-time information about that day's lecture (e.g., group assignments, discussion questions, etc.). This academic year, University Information Technology Services at Indiana University convened a Smart Classroom Working Group, charged with developing a smart classroom prototype.smart classroom solution provider in Uae In order to determine the top priorities to pilot, the group conducted focus groups with select faculty to better understand their process in preparing to teach a class and to identify specific

The goal of IU's Smart Classroom project is to build a learning environment that anticipates and automates common classroom tasks to make better use of faculty and student instructional time. We believe that many emerging technologies can positively affect the experience of students and faculty in our classrooms in a variety of ways, including efficiency, learning experience and comfort. The smart classroom will offer faculty and students a technology-rich space, reduce complexity and minimize support requirements. To achieve these goals, we are investigating smart solutions that will: Untether instructors from the room's podium, allowing them control from anywhere in the room; smart classroom solution provider in ksa and middle east Streamline the start of class, including biometric login to the room's technology, behind-the- scenes routing of course content to room displays, control of lights and automatic attendance taking; Offer whiteboards that can be captured, routed to different displays in the room and saved for future viewing and editing; Provide small-group collaboration displays and the ability to easily route content to and from these displays; and Deliver these features through a simple, user-friendly and reliable room/technology interface
