Impact of Smart Classrooms in Teaching Learning Effectiveness in Higher Education: A Quantitative Investigation

Abstract

In the higher education system of India, smart classrooms have changed the way teachers teach and students learn. The technologically advanced learning spaces have multimedia tools, internet access, and engaging screens that spur interest in students' lessons. Teachers can offer information to students in varied ways using digital tools and engaging software. The real-time group discussion and sharing of ideas in class create an atmosphere where students can actively participate in the classroom activities. Such an environment encourages students to become independent learners, as they can access the learning materials at any time and place. Smart classes also make teachers more successful by giving them tools for video lectures, quick feedback, and automated tests. This not only makes routine jobs easier, but it also makes it easier for teachers to tailor lessons to each student and keep better track of their progress.  Overall, smart classes have changed traditional lecture-based methods into more dynamic, engaging, and student-centered learning spaces. This has helped Indian college students think critically, be creative, and work together. Study survey was conducted among 201 people (teachers and students) with different streams in higher education to know the factors that determines the impact of Smart Classrooms in teaching learning effectiveness in higher education. It is found that Enhanced Engagement, Personalized Learning, Access to Resources and Collaborative Learning are the factors that determines the impact of Smart Classrooms in teaching learning effectiveness in higher education.
