Analysis
Discussion/Q&A
Slide3Ambient Intelligence
“A digital environment that proactively, but sensibly, assists people in their daily lives”
Slide4evolution of technology
Slide5technological development towards AmI
Miniaturization of microprocessorsEmbedded in household appliances, phones and carsIncreasing expectations and perceptions of technologyDecentralization of health careDevelopment of assistive technologiesSmart homes to improve healthcare
Slide6confluence of different fields

Slide12AmI in Higher Education
Slide13The Classroom 2000 Project
Aim:Capture content to be used a posteriori without disturbing normal classroom developmentDeveloped at Georgia Institute of Technology (1995-2000)Steps:Preproduction:Live capturePost productionAccessFindings:
Exam performance not affected
Strong preference for captured notes
Attendance was not affected
Quantity of note taking differed drastically
Slide14The Smart Classroom at Tsinghua University
Use of an interactive whiteboardPerform traditional handwriting tasks using digital pens on the boardUse of another whiteboard to capture class related itemsSoftware based on multi-agent systemUsed for Face-Face or distant educationFeatures:A virtual assistant
Natural language recognition capabilities
Translates actions of distant students into uttered sentences
Eg
. New student has arrived the virtual room
Captures audio and video
Recognizes gestures and motions
Focuses attention on appropriate material
Slide15The Intelligent Classroom at Northwestern
Similar to Tsinghua UniversityInfers intent to control the classroomLight settingsPlay videosDisplay slidesNo pre-programming requiredNatural actions of inhabitants elicit appropriate responses from the environment
Slide16The JAPELAS and TANGO Systems
Context aware systems JAPELAS (Japanese Polite Expressions Learning Assisting System)Provides information on cultural knowledge to students based on contextEnables students to follow cultural protocols for formal & informal communications through the use of PDA’sTANGO (Tag Added Learning Objects)Teaches high school students about atypical objects
By adding tags and providing students with tag readers
Developed at the University of Tokushima, Japan
Slide17Mobile Computing at European Universities
University of NottinghamPhone assisted classroom interaction systemStudents give lecturers feedback via SMS using Nokia-PC SuiteDifferent levels of privacy were consideredStudents were not worried about SMS costEriksson
E-learning to M-learning
Supported by Leonardo Da Vinci
Programme
of the European Union

Slide20Discussion / Q&A
Smart classrooms have great potential to support teaching and learning Supports collaborative work (both real-time and offline)Enhances connectivity for distance learning (zooming in and out based on context)Enables learning by experience (JAPELAS)Facilitates teaching tasks (slides by voice)Unexplored opportunities around the globe
Privacy Issues
Do students trust privacy levels of these systems?
Future options to support teaching and learning using smart classrooms
Detecting underperforming students?
Enrich feedback on student activities?
Providing reminders and advice with respect to current activities and performance levels?
