The educational aspect of an ambient intelligent classroom

Abstract

The educational aspects and affordances that essentially and inevitably form an imperative part of an ambient intelligent classroom setup are frequently overlooked and taken for granted. Smart classrooms offer the ability to capitalise and take full advantage of applying technology while amplifying the effects of personalising the learning process. In this paper, we investigate the intrinsic educational characteristics that an ambient intelligent classroom entails as part of additional factors that collectively require meticulous investigation and thorough analysis. We ground the concept of such a smart classroom environment upon conventional and recognised learning theories that bring together a conceptual and pedagogy-neutral framework. The emphasis rotates around the educational aspect of the framework as we shed light on the capacity and promise of this technology-enhanced learning environment that could potentially characterise the way we look at our classrooms.
