The Effects of a Technology-Enriched Classroom on Student Learning

Smart classrooms are created by using smart environments equipped with various software and hardware devices and applications. The smart classroom is the integration of advanced teaching technologies into the classroom environment beyond the traditional classroom environment in order to contribute to the development of the student's learning ability and participation in the lesson. In general, the concept of the smart classroom will be discussed in this chapter from two aspects: (1) physical and (2) instructional. These two aspects are important in terms of showing how learning processes are affected in terms of educational technologies. This chapter also includes the outputs and experiences of the ongoing technology-enriched smart classroom project supported by a scientific research fund of Ege University.
