Contextual dimensions of an ambient intelligent classroom

Abstract

The classroom is the classical environment where the formal education process traditionally takes place. Ambient intelligence is the artificially intelligent way of how to render a specific environment aware and responsive to a human being within that same environment. In this paper, we present a case of how the engagement of ambient intelligence within a classroom can be apportioned into three basic aspects that collectively can change the way we visualise classical teaching spaces. Three contextual dimensions of ambient intelligence are presented and espoused within an academic framework to shed instrumental insights and strategic directions on the future of ambient intelligent classrooms.
