Learning analytics tasks as services in smart classrooms

The Smart Classroom as a Means to the Development of ESD Methodologies

“…The data collected through cloud computing provides teachers and students with the opportunity to reflect on the learning and experience and to develop improvements for further teaching practice. These data may be gathered using sensors, cameras, computer systems or other tools, and learning analytics can be used to analyse them [63]. Internet of Things (IoT) is closely related to wearable technologies [64] and connects every object on the room to the server or internet, allowing data collection and processing [65].…”

“…A basic feature of a Smart Classroom is the ability to adapt itself to student needs [63] in terms of the curriculum, course content, strategy and support [54,83]. It has been broadly accepted that personalisation and customisation must be supported by the Smart Classroom: smart systems should track the evolution of each individual, or at least the students should be able to customise their path according to their own learning profile [43].…”

“…Concerning technology, the implementation of Smart watches or RFID tag sensors for teachers and students [53][54][55][56][57]64], interactive whiteboards or touch screen displays with multiple students [49,52] or interaction screens that recognise body movements [51,52], and full access to knowledge through mobile devices and full internet access can be considered. It should be noted that there are existing initiatives and solutions of cloud storage [59,62] allowing easy access and information management from anywhere, and devices with collaborative data and writing software tools that allow knowledge sharing, management and co-creation [66], considering students' needs [63] and student-centred learning methods [85], which allow student self-regulation to foster autonomous and lifelong learning. These software solutions will permit parents and teachers to be involved in the project and learning process at any time [66].…”

“…The long run is more centred on taking data and using Artificial Intelligence [63,65]. Sensors could measure and monitor the students' and teachers' cognitive and behavioural processes [53,54,56].…”

Uso de dispositivos de votación interactiva como soporte al control de lectura en Matemáticas a nivel universitario

“…Los estudiantes comentan que la dificultad que tienen para entender los conceptos teóricos, y que usar este tipo de software apoya el aprendizaje. -Aguilar et al (2017), muestran el estudio de algunos servicios o tareas que se pueden realizar en el aula inteligente a través del uso de herramientas o dispositivos, donde incluyen los dispositivos de votación ActiVote como apoyo en evaluar conceptos o ejercicios propios de una asignatura en un momento determinado de la clase. -González, Castañeda & Campos (2018) comparan el efecto de dos tipos de evaluación en los resultados de aprendizaje de los estudiantes (evaluación tradicional continua, y evaluación continua con el sistema de respuesta interactiva Educlick), mediante un estudio cuasi-experimental con 364 estudiantes del grado en Educación Primaria, analizando las notas parciales y finales obtenidas con dos tipos, además de diferentes variables psicológicas que influyen en el proceso de evaluación.…”
