With the development of emerging technology innovations such as the internet of things, classroom management has also shown an informatization trend. Among them, smart classrooms are an important part of the current university information environment construction. The purpose of this article is to build a smart classroom into an intelligent teaching environment with many functions such as intelligent perception and identification, real-time monitoring based on the internet of things technology and cloud computing technology. A questionnaire survey was conducted among freshman students in some majors, and interviews were conducted with the instructors. It was found that 92.19% of the students were satisfied with the classroom learning in the smart classroom environment, and most teachers thought that the teaching effect had been improved. Experiments have proven that the operation of smart classrooms based on the internet of things and cloud computing realizes the intelligence of teaching management services and improves the level of education informationization in schools.

Smart classrooms are basically the rooms wherein students come together in a shared space to construct, manipulate, and negotiate meaning around a canvas. This enables collaborative learning in the most effective manner. The environments become immersive learning happens on walls, desks, tables, and in conversations. The interactive surfaces become shared perceptual spaces where students discuss meaning and clarity and come to a collective understanding. When there is an environment with touch screens dedicated to creating opportunities for shared perceptual meaning, the students could dig down and construct knowledge in a deeper way. If you want students exchanging, collaborating, and talking synchronously in class then shared public spaces should be the primary focus of work. There are many techniques and options for setting up a smart classroom. Depending on the requirement and fund availability, the features and technology can be chosen. The requirements in a school would be less in terms of cost and technology as the school student would not be much well versed with the technological platforms. In this paper we have discussed about a smart class room that could provide an automated interactive learning environment for a modernized classroom of a school.

Over the years educators have adopted a variety of technologies in a bid to improve student engagement, interest and understanding of abstract topics taught in the classroom. There has been an increasing interest in immersive technology such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). The ability of VR to bring ideas to life in three dimensional spaces in a way that is easy for students to understand the subject matter makes it one of the important tools available today for education. A key feature of VR is the ability to provide multi-sensory visuals and virtual interaction to students wearing a Head Mounted Display thus providing students better learning experience and connection to the subject matter. Virtual Reality has been used for training purposes in the health sector, military, workplace training, gamification and exploration of sites and countless others. With the potential benefits of virtual technology in visualizing abstract concepts in a realistic virtual world, this paper presents a plan to study the use of situated cognition theory as a learning framework to develop an immersive VR application that would be used to train and prepare students studying Telecommunications Engineering for the workplace. This paper presents a review of literature in the area of Virtual Reality in education, offers insight into the motivation behind this research and the planned methodology in carrying out the research.
