28. Conclusions
● More and more papers on Smart Education
● But there is a lot of theoretical work
● Systems with good results
● We have identified research opportunities
● All papers contain almost all common factors
Good afternoon!! My name is Adrián Carruana, I'm going to present Smart Education: A Review and Future Research Directions
This presentation is divided into five parts: Introduction, Literature Review, Developed Systems, Research Opportunities y Conclusions
First, I will talk about the evolution of education
Classical education focuses on a teacher, a blackboard and a table for each student.
Now, it is moving to a closer environment, without tables and people closer, with greater interaction
What is Smart Education? There is no formal definition, some common factors:
Use of technology, Teaching customization, Make education more attractive, Individualized teaching, Creativity-centered education,
in short, an intelligent, personalized and adaptive education.
For the literature review we perform the following query in Scopus.
The first part is to select the papers of specific topics.
The following is to collect all possible synonyms for Smart educations.
Then, to obtain papers with a more practical approach, we introduce popular technologies.
Finally, we specify keywords for data extraction and analysis
From the results of that query, we obtain the following tables
In the first, we can observe the evolution in time of Smart Education papers
In this table we can see the technologies used in the papers.
A paper can be in multiple rows.
Another feature we observe is the localization of education
In Smart Education many systems are being developed.
For this analysis we divided them into 4 themes: Identification, Data management, Visualization systems and Creating virtual environments
Regarding systems developed for identification purposes we find different topics: Network Intrusions, Actions, Knowledge and skills and Emotions
An example is the system of Elhoseny et al. defined a framework that analyzes and identifies the activities of people
through wearable sensors or smartphones.
This system aims to facilitate the administration and delivery of instructions in smart environments
Regarding systems developed for data management purposes we find different topics: Attendance, Environmental measures and Administrative data
An example is the system of Dutta et al. defined an architecture for the evaluation and improvement of the classroom environment,
from air quality to the amount of noise.
Regarding systems developed for Showing information purposes we find different topics: Performance and Evaluation
An example is the system of Shapsough et al. defined a standards-based evaluation system that uses tablets and smartphones to perform evaluations and allows real-time reporting
Regarding systems developed for Virtual environments purposes we find different topics: virtual Objects/Machines, Anatomical samples of animals and humans or Operations simulation
An example is the system of Fahim et al. defined a system was defined to make learning more attractive and solve the problem of scarcity of educational materials.
This system allowed the teacher to create a scenario which could be visualized from students' smartphones with an NFC card
According to the papers analyzed, the challenges on Smart Education which need more research are:
Connectivity, Security, Prediction systems and Dashboard
More and more devices are connected in classrooms, from smartphones to smart boards, these devices reduce network speed
Another problem is communications between devices of different brands or types, which do not have specific protocols.
The collection of personal data of students, teachers or even management personnel are very common in Smart Education environments.
It is necessary that the data management take into account the ethical and legal aspect
Another relevant research line to be developed is the prediction of events before they occur, such as students dropping out or failing a course
There are papers dedicated to prediction but there is room for improvement
There is still a long way to go to deal with the large amount of data generated in Smart Education environments
Display them correctly and make this data easier to understand for students and teachers
Smart Education is an increasingly important concept, as more and more research papers address this topic
But there is a lot of theoretical work
There are systems with good results
All this indicates that there is much to investigate
In all papers we have observed almost all common factors
