Effects of smart classrooms on learning and teaching effectiveness: The students' point of view

Abstract

Student feedback on the relative advantages and disadvantages of traditional blackboard and technology-based instruction is presented. The two types of instruction are suited to different educational goals. Blackboard instruction is suited to presentation of problem solving. Smart classroom presentation is suited to transmission of basic facts and information. The classroom experience of students is very different for the two types of instruction. The relative benefits of the two types of instruction depend strongly on the students' learning preferences and personal circumstances.
