Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart Learning is a teaching and learning approach in conjunction with ultra-technical spaces. These physical and technological spaces are called Smart Classrooms, where methods and techniques related to Big Data, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet of Things converge to education improvement. Smart Classrooms as intelligent entities allow new forms of teaching-learning while shaping learning spaces through technology: photosensitive sensors can automatically regulate light according to the type of learning activity or the distribution of classroom furniture after analyzing students' interactions captured by cameras.
This Special Issue aims to gather review articles (research articles are welcome) on pedagogical theories and practices, technologies, solutions, applications, and new (or unsolved) challenges in Teaching and Learning in Smart Classrooms. Both qualitative and quantitative review articles are accepted and might consider a referenced methodology to answer mapping and research questions.
Topics of interest for submission include but are not limited to:
- Innovative pedagogical both theoretical and practical approaches or curriculum;
- Layout of educational spaces, practices, and/or pedagogies;
- Innovations for staff development;
- Ethics, security, and privacy concerns;
- Approaches regarding gender, diversity gap, inclusion, and academic trans-disciplinarity.
Describe how this topic fits with the scope of "Sensors": As “Sensors” provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of sensors and their applications, this Special Issue aims to offer authors a space to reflect and extract pedagogical theories and practices, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in Teaching and Learning by reviewing the state-of-the-art applications of sensors in education. Sometimes we forget to recap all of the research done in a field as an opportunity to discover patterns and unsolved challenges or offer the educational community a review article as a comprehensive guide in a specific aspect of education and sensors to enhance teaching and learning practices.
