But with advancement of science and technology this typical concept is getting replaced by a new concept/process called the “Smart Classroom”, where teaching learning process happens in a more interactive way and students get more interested because this process consists of videos, pictures, PowerPoint presentations, etc. In ancient days “Gurukuls” were the place where students use to get taught by the Gurus, where this age-old system of books and copies where followed. But this system is getting replaced by new and modernized concept of “E-learning” and “Smart Classroom”. A “Smart Classroom” is a classroom that has an instructor equipped with computer and audio-visual equipment, 3D animated modules, etc. The students are also thrilled at the concept of innovation and interactive learning process. Digitized Classroom has not only made education interesting but also increased student performance, the concept of “Smart Classroom” is the new generation educational product which helps students gain more knowledge easily and is a step to the future of education procedure.

It outlines the literature reviews and classification of innovations, discusses the hurdles to innovation and offers several ways to increase the scale and rate of innovation-based transformations in the education system which can help to produce needed high-quality learning results across the systems in comparison to the old style. Educational innovations should mainly be focused on teaching-learning theory and practical on one side and student’s dedication, parent’s seriousness, community, society, and its culture on the other side. Technological applications need a solid theoretical foundation based on purposeful, systemic research, and a sound pedagogy. Cost and time efficiency of learning is one of the critical areas of research and innovation. There are some implications of these ideas, such as - Practical Implications There are several practical recommendations to this paper like, how to create a base for large-scale innovations and their implementation; how to increase effectiveness of technological-innovations in education system, mainly in the concept of “Digital/E-learning”; how to raise time and cost efficiency of education system. Social Implications Innovations in education are regarded along with the education system within the societal super system context and demonstrating their interrelations/interdependencies at all levels. Raising the quality, rate and scale of innovations will positively affect the education system and will create a good future scope for the upcoming generations, which will create a societal positive impact. International Journal of English Learning and Teaching Skills; Vol. 2, No. 3; ISSN 2639-7412 Print ISSN 2638-5546 Online 1441 SMART CLASSROOM FOR MODERN EDUCATION 6 Smart Classroom and Its Concepts A “Smart Classroom” is generally equipped with several multimedia components for enhancing the teaching-learning process. There are new media classrooms or digitized classrooms. The concepts of “Smart Classroom” in terms of pedagogical setting and its arrangement for designing such classroom in order to transform learning spaces in modern smart classes. There are seven basic concepts of a smart classroom adaptability, comfort, connectivity/IoT, multiplicity, openness and personalization  Adaptability/Flexibility of Smart Classroom Designing of “Smart Classrooms” requires the concept of flexibility or adaptability. “Smart Classroom” arrangement and all the elements should be in an exceedingly way that it permits gracefulness and variations in settings. Different students have different learning preferences and different teachers also have various ways of teaching. Some thrive in group settings while others need one-on-one teaching. “Smart Classrooms” use the evolving new technologies. Student should be provided with good environment where they can appreciate modern technology. Lastly, the mode of teaching should be more dynamic to ensure students are more engaged and focused. For example, video games can be used for assignment purpose.  Comfort of Smart Classroom Almost every family today have a computer/laptop/smart phones and children have access to those devices. The use of social media platforms has also increased than before. The use of new technology has changed the educational or learning environment for students, here educators can fulfil International Journal of English Learning and Teaching Skills; Vol. 2, No. 3; ISSN 2639-7412 Print ISSN 2638-5546 Online 1442 SMART CLASSROOM FOR MODERN EDUCATION 7 the needs and interest of students. Not only social media, smart classes also include activities like reading, writing, debating, watching videos and playing music. It shouldn't solely encompass learning however offer space for optimum comfort to create learning experience enjoyable.  Connectivity/IoT Connectivity concept is two-fold; an internet connection to devices and informational/social connectivity where students can connect to their friends, teachers, professionals. The rate at which mobile devices and Internet of Things IoT are making an entry into the market in today's world is terrific and “Smart Classrooms” are the only early adopters to this technology. Today, there are intelligent spaces, location-aware, IoT devices, Augmented Reality AR and Virtual Reality VR devices for teaching all connected to improve educational system.  Multiplicity This concept points that “Smart Classrooms” having such capabilities for utilization of several stimuli and resources. In this new educational system, there is a space for creativity along with critical thinking and reasoning and it can be customized for various learning styles and need of learners which is also termed as “Out of the Box”.  Openness In the traditional educational system of learning, a teacher only presents some information and conducts lessons in a transmittal manner. In “Smart Classrooms”, learning occurs beyond limited classroom spaces, means both visually and physically learning occurs but in traditional system only physically teaching and learning takes place. International Journal of English Learning and Teaching Skills; Vol. 2, No. 3; ISSN 2639-7412 Print ISSN 2638-5546 Online 1443 SMART CLASSROOM FOR MODERN EDUCATION 8  Personalization In “Smart Classrooms” teachers and students can personalize their settings as their own likes and needs. Students and teachers can introduce new activities for useful learning. Fig-2 Representation of working of Smart Classroom Concept Main Focus of this Concept  Visual learning; animated multimedia lessons  Quick and immersive learning  Progressive improvement in student education  To look for overall high performance  Student assessment and evaluation  Report Cards Hardware’s Involved  Interactive Smart board  Projector  Computer  UPS & Speakers  Teaching Software Tools International Journal of English Learning and Teaching Skills; Vol. 2, No. 3; ISSN 2639-7412 Print ISSN 2638-5546 Online 1444 SMART CLASSROOM FOR MODERN EDUCATION 9 Assessment “Smart Classes” have an integrated assessment solution to assess and evaluate students after each lesson, assessment solution includes  Assessment Software  Question bank  Tests Traditional Classroom Vs. Smart Classroom Both “Traditional” and “Smart Classroom” are the two sides of the same coin “Teaching-Learning” process. When we compare the two terms, we find that the former type of classrooms is the one in which instructions are confined into books and copies. It does not mean that traditional classes are not good but with the time one must change. As John Dewey 2019 said, “If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.” Therefore, it is needed to integrate student-teacher technology as one. Introduction of “Smart Classrooms” means the integration of old with new, it does not mean to uproot the convection ways. Shortly after the internet explosion of the 1990s, technology was immediately integrated into the classrooms as “Smart Class”. The modern International Journal of English Learning and Teaching Skills; Vol. 2, No. 3; ISSN 2639-7412 Print ISSN 2638-5546 Online 1445 SMART CLASSROOM FOR MODERN EDUCATION 10 technologies cannot completely swap the traditional process. The concept of “Smart Classes” is quite fresh, and it might take some time to become accustomed with the present educational system. There are several opinions regarding the traditional and “smart classes”. Firstly, the conventional system which is still prevailing in the major parts of the country. In the traditional system the teacher is the only controller of the learning environments, the power and responsibility are held by the teacher and they play the major role of instructor and decision maker, the teachers regard students as having knowledge holes’ that need to be filled with information. In short, the traditional teacher views are that, the teacher only causes learning to occur. The teacher is the most important factor in traditional learning process but being a human there are chances that the teachers also make mistakes and it is difficult for a teacher to offer ocean of knowledge to students. In traditional educational situation a teacher is assisted and updated with the modern technologies, which enables much effective and efficient learning process. It is nearly impossible to uproot the old educational system completely because the instruction process is basically incomplete without the teacher-learner interaction. There are people who misunderstand the concept of “smart classes”. In today’s world many children rather all of us take help of internet as it the smart way for gaining knowledge in many platforms, not only for educational purpose but also for various different purpose as it is the simplest and effective way of understanding which one can easily acquire “Smart Class” is really an interactive approach of learning within which the lecturers are supplied with several required tools so as to manage the classrooms in sensible method and assess the students and encourage them in group effort. Many of the places have already introduced “smart classrooms” in their International Journal of English Learning and Teaching Skills; Vol. 2, No. 3; ISSN 2639-7412 Print ISSN 2638-5546 Online 1446 SMART CLASSROOM FOR MODERN EDUCATION 11 institutes and it’s time for the other institutes to up rise who is still prevailing with the rigid traditional pattern. As the time changes, so teaching style should also be changed. Introduction of “Smart Classes” can play a massive role in the revolution of old to new educational system. It can be assumed that all the confines of “traditional educational system” will get resolved if the teachers understand their responsibility of delivering the technological knowledge to right hands and in right manner. By reflecting on the best growing practices of technological integration and by avoiding unproductive practices, teachers are able to make research-based decisions regarding the most beneficial approaches of technology in educational settings. We should recognize the speed with which technology progresses and accordingly we acquire our techniques as necessary. It is also appropriate to acknowledge that some technological applications remain same when we properly insert those technologies into an aligned curricular plan, the ultimate success of our institutes in educational system remains in training and supporting quality, exceptional frontline teachers.

From the invention of wheel to the internet, technology has become a big factor on the way of our civilization’s growth. In this phase technology played a vital role in the field of education and we came across the “Smart Classroom” concept. “E-learning” is a revolutionary innovation in the education field. It is a well-known fact that every new thing seems to be difficult at first, until one gets familiar with it. The most enjoyable experience for both for the instructor and the students is to explore new things when both are used to with new technology. In today’s world technology has made a wealth of knowledge available to students. Information is present almost in every possible way that any type of learner, whether gifted or disabled can find and use the necessary material to gain knowledge. Teachers need to prepare students for a technical world requiring self-initiative in learning, precision in processes and the ability to identify and analyze information. Research is required to ensure that other psychological and social issues in child development are considered as new technological strategies. We must ensure that the students do not lose the nuances of interpersonal communication as they become technically oriented. Today all of us prefer smart work rather than hard work, so the new way of teaching and learning is the part of smart work. Thus, we all must indulge ourselves to smart way of education and do more research in this field to develop this concept more so that is becomes a gift for the upcoming generations and future education system gets easier and more interactive for the students.

Se pararmos para pensar, praticamente tudo aquilo que fazemos hoje exige que estejamos conectados. Seja para as atribuições relativas ao trabalho, seja para a realização de compras, seja, até mesmo, para a manutenção de relacionamentos — especialmente quando a distância é um obstáculo —, há sempre uma alternativa para que tarefas rotineiras sejam conduzidas por meio da Internet. Como já era de se esperar, toda essa evolução tecnológica transformou, inclusive, o ensino, com a implementação de uma metodologia chamada e-learning. Você já ouviu falar sobre isso? Por mais que o e-learning seja um formato de ensino ainda considerado recente, é possível perceber que o número de pessoas que estão apostando nele para compartilhar ou adquirir conhecimentos está aumentando exponencialmente. Se você ainda não está totalmente por dentro do mundo da educação a distância, este texto vai te ajudar a entender! Vamos lá! O que é e-learning? Qual é a diferença entre e-learning e educação a distância? Quais são os dados do ensino a distância? Quais são as características do e-learning? Quais são os benefícios do e-learning? Quais são as dicas para melhorar a experiência dos alunos? Caso você nunca tenha ouvido falar, o termo e-learning, traduzido para o português como “aprendizagem eletrônica”, se refere ao processo de ensino que acontece online e com o apoio de instrumentos tecnológicos. Nesse modelo, a educação conta com um ambiente de aprendizagem totalmente virtual. Nesse ambiente, os professores disponibilizam o conteúdo e os alunos o acessam de qualquer computador ou dispositivo móvel. No entanto, o e-learning pode ir além das instituições de ensino tradicionais. Esse formato de ensino pode ser usado também para cursos livres, como os de idiomas estrangeiros, de culinária, de artesanato, de informática, de estética, entre outros. Para isso, basta ter alguém disposto a ensinar, um público interessado em aprender, uma plataforma para a hospedagem do curso e, é claro, acesso à Internet. A diferença para o blended learning O blended learning também conhecido b-learning e ensino híbrido é derivado do e-learning, de modo que a maior diferença está no fato de que o blended learning é uma mistura do ensino a distância e do ensino presencial. Daí a origem do termo blended, que é a combinação de dois fatores. Logo, quem aposta no b-learning aproveita os benefícios do ensino presencial com o aprendizado remoto baseado na tecnologia. Já o e-learning, como podemos ver acima, é totalmente online. Assim como o e-learning, inclusive, ele pode ser estruturado de forma síncrona e assíncrona termos que serão explicados mais à frente. A popularidade do e-learning O e-learning é o sistema de ensino que mais se popularizou nos últimos anos. Afinal, faz parte da transformação digital que nós vivemos nos dias de hoje, o que também transformou a forma como consumimos o conteúdo educacional. Ao contrário do ensino a distância, o e-learning é um modelo novo. Trata-se de um formato que democratizou o ensino, no qual as pessoas podem aprender coisas novas todos os dias em pouco tempo e transformar verdadeiramente as suas vidas. Outro dos benefícios citados por alunos de cursos no formato e-learning é o custo. Por não precisar de salas de aulas ou de auditórios para as aulas, os cursos online conseguem entregar um conteúdo de valor por um preço bastante justo. As distinções entre o modelo síncrono e o modelo assíncrono Para quem quer conhecer melhor o e-learning, é preciso entender as principais diferenças entre os modelos síncrono e assíncrono. No primeiro modelo, o instrutor e os alunos estão presentes ao mesmo tempo, como nas aulas que acontecem ao vivo. Já existem várias ferramentas que fazem essa conexão via videoconferência e com chats. Já no modelo assíncrono, o ensino é transmitido por meio de aulas separadas, sem a necessidade da interação ao vivo. Ambos têm vantagens, que você pode conferir logo a seguir! As vantagens do ensino síncrono Entre outras, é possível citar Realização de discussões em grupo; Possibilidade de haver um contato direto com o professor; Condução de atividades em equipe; Possibilidade de obter respostas imediatas sobre as suas dúvidas — uma vantagem de destaque para os alunos; Representação de um formato ideal para quem tem maior facilidade em trabalhar em grupo. As vantagens do ensino assíncrono Entre outros benefícios, podemos mencionar Possibilidade de o aluno acessar a qualquer momento o conteúdo; Maior flexibilidade para estudar de acordo com a própria rotina; Possibilidade de rever conteúdos externos para ajudar no aprendizado; Evolução do estudante de acordo com a sua velocidade de aprendizado pessoal. VÍDEO Educação tradicional x EAD Vantagens dos cursos online para professores e alunos Qual é a diferença entre e-learning e educação a distância? Na verdade, o e-learning pode, sim, ser considerado como um tipo de educação a distância EaD, mesmo porque essa expressão engloba um amplo conjunto de modelos de aprendizagem em que os estudantes e os educadores estão em locais distintos. O próprio MEC Ministério da Educação explica que “Educação a distância é a modalidade educacional na qual alunos e professores estão separados, física ou temporalmente e, por isso, faz-se necessária a utilização de meios e tecnologias de informação e comunicação. Essa modalidade é regulada por uma legislação específica e pode ser implantada na educação básica educação de jovens e adultos, educação profissional técnica de nível médio e na educação superior.” Assim, o ensino a distância contempla uma verdadeira diversidade de dinâmicas — claro, incluindo o e-learning —, a exemplo de Cursos por correspondência, hoje já considerados “ultrapassados”; Cursos via teleconferência; Módulos que são publicados em revistas, jornais e outros veículos impressos; Telecursos que são ministrados na TV e/ou no rádio; Videoaulas gravadas. Quais são os dados do ensino a distância? O CENSO da Educação Superior de 2016 constatou que é crescente o número de alunos que estão trocando as aulas presenciais pelo ensino online. De acordo com a pesquisa, em 2006, apenas 4,2% das matrículas em cursos de graduação eram para a educação a distância. Já em 2016, essa porcentagem subiu expressivamente para 18,6%, o que confirma o aumento do interesse nessa modalidade de ensino. Paralelo a esse crescimento, porém, vivenciamos um verdadeiro boom dos conteúdos em vídeo na Internet. Inclusive, estimava-se que, até 2019, o formato seria responsável por até 80% de todo o tráfego online. Deu para perceber o que transforma o e-learning em uma excelente maneira de ensinar e aprender, certo? Não é à toa que tantas pessoas têm elaborado videoaulas para empreender e passar conhecimentos para frente. Antigamente, para adquirir ou até aprimorar habilidades artísticas, por exemplo, o único caminho existente era se matricular em cursos presenciais ou, claro, contratar um professor particular. Agora, basta acessar a Internet, encontrar alguém com autoridade no assunto, baixar o conteúdo e começar a aprender. Quais são as características do e-learning? A educação a distância não atrairia tantos adeptos se não oferecesse vantagens realmente valiosas para alunos e professores. As pessoas que deixavam de se matricular em cursos por pouca disponibilidade de tempo ou por dificuldade de se locomover encontraram no e-learning uma boa solução para os seus problemas. Em simultâneo, aquelas que sempre tiveram interesse em empreender, mas não sabiam por onde começar, estão enxergando nesse mercado uma maneira de transformar o seu conhecimento em renda. O ensino online também tem atraído o interesse de empresas, modificando totalmente a maneira como são realizados os treinamentos e o desenvolvimento de pessoas. Outra característica que diferencia o modelo virtual do presencial é o uso da tecnologia. Como tudo acontece em uma plataforma online, tanto os alunos quanto os professores contam com o apoio de ferramentas que enriquecem e facilitam o processo de aprendizado. Essas plataformas, conhecidas também como Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem AVA, servem não somente para hospedar as aulas, mas também para oferecer uma experiência interativa e valiosa para os usuários. Existem várias opções de plataformas disponíveis na Internet — gratuitas e pagas — e a maioria delas conta com excelentes recursos, como fóruns, download de materiais complementares, realização de avaliações e emissão de certificados, como é o caso do Hotmart Club. Além disso, também são características do e-learning A educação acontece no ambiente virtual; A necessidade de se ter acesso à Internet para que o processo de ensino seja conduzido; O formato é altamente dinâmico e prático; O modelo pode ser usado para o compartilhamento de vários tipos e formatos de conteúdo; A exigência de organização e de planejamento de todos os envolvidos; As possibilidades de especialização são significativamente ampliadas; Uma plataforma online é necessária para o conteúdo ser disponibilizado; O formato pode ser usado por professores, profissionais independentes e empresas; Trata-se de uma modalidade em crescimento no país. Quais são os benefícios do e-learning? Ainda não está convencido de que o e-learning é um jeito moderno, vantajoso e prático de ensinar e aprender? Confira tudo que a modalidade tem para oferecer para os alunos, para os professores e para as empresas. Professores/produtores Se você tem as habilidades necessárias para ensinar outras pessoas, o e-learning pode ser um ótimo caminho para ampliar as suas possibilidades! Confira a seguir! 1. Maior alcance Muitos profissionais do ramo da educação e criadores de conteúdo estão encontrando no ensino online uma maneira de alcançar mais pessoas, aumentar a sua renda mensal ou até mesmo se reinventar em um período de desemprego e de poucas oportunidades. 2. Acesso a ferramentas diversas O professor/instrutor encontra na Internet todos os recursos tecnológicos necessários para criar, hospedar e compartilhar o seu curso com o seu público. No formato tradicional, ele precisaria alugar uma sala e investir bastante em divulgação para atrair alunos, além de estar limitado geograficamente. 3. Ausência de limite de alunos Se, presencialmente, é preciso levar em consideração o tamanho do espaço físico, ao ensinar online, as turmas podem ter milhares de alunos sem que isso prejudique a qualidade da aula. Outras vantagens de optar pelo e-learning são Flexibilidade de horário, já que não é preciso estar presente em sala de aula e é possível elaborar o conteúdo quando tiver disponibilidade; Possibilidade de trabalhar de qualquer lugar do mundo até mesmo durante viagens; Apoio tecnológico da plataforma de hospedagem; Menor custo para preparar as aulas, pois o formato não exige gastos com espaço, transporte e materiais. É preciso ter apenas um computador e acesso à Internet; Acesso a recursos que permitem o uso de vários formatos de conteúdos, conforme a necessidade. O professor pode criar videoaulas, e-books, infográficos, podcasts, imagens etc.; Apoio para a emissão de certificados, o que transmite uma sensação de segurança para os alunos e mostra a credibilidade do curso. Alunos Agora, vamos falar de algumas vantagens do e-learning para os compradores — no caso, os alunos. Confira! 1. Economia de tempo Muitas pessoas têm interesse em fazer uma graduação ou uma especialização, mas acabam adiando o projeto pessoal por falta de tempo e/ou de dinheiro ou por morarem em regiões afastadas das instituições de ensino. Se, para fazer cursos de formação acadêmica ou de desenvolvimento profissional, já é tão difícil encontrar uma brecha na agenda, imagina para aprender ou para aperfeiçoar habilidades artísticas e outros interesses pessoais. Complicado, não? Com o e-learning, por outro lado, o aluno não precisa se deslocar até uma sala de aula, o que o ajuda a economizar tempo. Além disso, se o conteúdo escolhido for em formato de podcast, por exemplo, é possível estudar até mesmo no trajeto de casa para o trabalho e vice-versa. 2. Facilidade de acesso Um dos pontos positivos do e-learning é que ele facilita o acesso a todo tipo de educação. O aluno pode acessar as aulas em casa, no trabalho ou até mesmo enquanto usa o transporte público. Ele só precisa ter Internet à disposição e um celular, um tablet ou um computador em mãos. 3. Possibilidades de interação e de personalização A maioria dos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem oferece recursos que permitem a interação com outros alunos e com o professor. Nesse espaço, é possível tirar dúvidas, conhecer novas pessoas, discutir casos e trocar informações. Sendo assim, o aluno não se sente totalmente sozinho e distante do ambiente educativo. Outros benefícios incluem O aluno é quem escolhe o melhor horário para assistir às aulas e estudar; As aulas podem ser acessadas de qualquer lugar, desde que haja acesso à Internet; O aluno é o responsável por seu aprendizado e, por isso, pode seguir o seu próprio ritmo e assistir às aulas quantas vezes achar necessário; Não é preciso se deslocar para as aulas, o que gera uma economia de dinheiro e de tempo; Como o curso online costuma ser mais barato para o professor, as mensalidades também costumam ser menores, o que torna o e-learning uma opção mais acessível; Os recursos tecnológicos das plataformas permitem que o aluno tenha acesso a materiais complementares, a outros alunos, a professores e a conteúdos em diversos formatos; Se a plataforma do curso for responsiva e o aluno deve ficar atento a isso ao se matricular, as aulas podem ser acessadas até mesmo do celular, o que significa mais mobilidade e mais praticidade para estudar. Empresas Outra possibilidade é o e-learning corporativo, que é a aplicação do ensino online para a criação e para a realização de treinamentos corporativos. Conheça as vantagens a seguir! 1. Economia de custos Para capacitarem os seus funcionários no formato presencial, as organizações precisam de espaços físicos adequados, como salas de reunião e auditórios. Além disso, devem se organizar para que todos os participantes estejam presentes no mesmo local e no mesmo horário, o que gera gastos com transporte e alguma dificuldade para conciliar as agendas. 2. Conteúdo mais dinâmico e fácil de consumir Para aproveitar ao máximo o tempo disponibilizado para os treinamentos presenciais, é comum as empresas colocarem muitos conteúdos em um período mínimo de tempo, o que pode deixar a experiência cansativa, inclusive prejudicando o aprendizado. Sendo assim, investir no e-learning corporativo facilita a transmissão do conhecimento. Os colaboradores podem acessar as aulas em casa, no ambiente de trabalho ou até mesmo no caminho para a empresa. 3. Disponibilidade imediata Uma boa prática é manter alguns treinamentos estratégicos sempre disponíveis para serem usados quando necessário. Se a empresa trabalha com vendas e o funcionário precisa lidar com clientes dos Estados Unidos, por exemplo, ter um curso de inglês à disposição pode servir como um grande incentivo para o seu aperfeiçoamento constante. O importante para garantir o sucesso desse formato de ensino é alinhar as aulas oferecidas aos objetivos da organização e dos próprios trabalhadores. Assim, eles vão compreender o que têm a ganhar ao fazer aquele treinamento, o que aumenta as chances de se dedicarem. Resumindo, o e-learning corporativo oferece Mais praticidade para os colaboradores, que podem acessar o conteúdo de onde estiverem; Maior possibilidade de a empresa manter treinamentos importantes e pontuais sempre disponíveis; Flexibilidade de horários, ou seja, o funcionário não precisa largar tudo que está fazendo para comparecer a um treinamento presencial; Mais motivação para se capacitar constantemente se o colaborador perceber que os cursos realmente agregam valor para o seu trabalho, é claro; Menor custo para a empresa, que não precisa gastar com locação de espaço, alimentação e transporte; Aumento da produção, afinal, um colaborador bem treinado e alinhado aos valores da empresa é fundamental para o alcance das metas. Quais são as dicas para melhorar a experiência dos alunos? Ter um blog, criar e atualizar perfis nas redes sociais ou manter um canal no YouTube são algumas das ações praticamente gratuitas que podem ser a base da estratégia de marketing do profissional que quer trabalhar no mercado de e-learning. Saber usar esses canais para reforçar a sua autoridade no assunto serve para atrair alunos e ganhar cada vez mais espaço no mercado. Além disso, não se esqueça de que, como dissemos anteriormente, não são apenas as pessoas com conhecimentos em áreas acadêmicas que podem se beneficiar do ensino online. Quem sabe costurar, cozinhar, falar uma língua estrangeira ou tem muito conhecimento em qualquer outro assunto também pode começar a trabalhar divulgando as suas aulas na Internet. No entanto, é claro que não adianta querer falar de um assunto do qual você sabe tudo, mas que ninguém tem interesse em escutar e aprender. Por isso, antes de se jogar no e-learning, é necessário pesquisar bastante o mercado para saber se existe público para o tema que você pretende compartilhar. É preciso também construir credibilidade no ambiente virtual, para que as pessoas confiem no que você diz e acreditem que, ao acessar as suas aulas, vão encontrar as soluções certas para os seus problemas e para as suas necessidades. Se você não for um profissional independente, saiba que a implementação do e-learning também pode trazer ótimos resultados para você e para a sua organização. O e-learning educacional pode servir para a criação de um curso totalmente virtual ou como um espaço para oferecer novos materiais dentro dos cursos presenciais sem que, para isso, seja necessário um investimento financeiro alto. O e-learning oferece de tudo — desde uma aula de matemática gratuita até um curso completo sobre a história romana antiga. A seguir, listamos alguns fatos adicionais sobre educação online que talvez você não conheça. Vamos conferir! A idade não é um fator O e-learning pode transformar qualquer pessoa em um aluno. Esse modelo oferece possibilidades para qualquer faixa etária aprender e fornece oportunidades para pessoas de qualquer gênero e classe social. Até mesmo pessoas que antes não tinham condições de fazer um curso superior presencial, hoje, podem fazê-lo virtualmente, podendo conciliar o aprendizado de acordo com a sua disponibilidade e com o seu ritmo. Os cursos online ajudam pessoas a aprenderem mais rapidamente Reforçando a questão de flexibilidade, os cursos online permitem que as pessoas aprendam muitas coisas em um curto período de tempo. Pense em uma graduação normal, de quatro anos imagine o que você pode aprender nesse mesmo período com o e-learning. Até mesmo as empresas querem que os seus colaboradores aprendam rapidamente, a fim de atender às expectativas de um ambiente de negócios altamente dinâmico. Nesse caso, o e-learning é perfeito para atender a esses requisitos. Que tal explorar todas as possibilidades do e-learning? Se você chegou até aqui, é porque provavelmente está interessado em investir no mercado de e-learning. Apresentamos as inúmeras possibilidades que o ensino a distância oferece e mostramos como o mercado da educação está se adaptando para acolher essa nova demanda por um formato de ensino mais dinâmico, flexível e bem mais prático.

Editorial Board Submit a Paper Ingenta Connect is not responsible for the content or availability of external websites AbstractThe availability of 3G and 4G technologies coupled with tablet PCs and smart phones makes the communication and learning system easier. In engineering education, these sophisticated technologies can bring immense advantages to the methods of delivering and acquiring knowledge. In this paper, we focus on facilities of a smart class environment for engineering education that can improve the co-learning procedure. We particularly emphasize the use of 3G and 4G technology in a smart class can be defined as a class equipped with modern technologies such as 3G and 4G, interactive learning, uninterrupted audio and video transmission, and recording and uploading the lecture in a website. 3G technology, which relies on broadband internet access, can provide easy access to the Wi-Fi networks. However, the speed of the connected is decreased if the number of simultaneous users is increased heavily. On the other hand, 4G technology uses TCP/IP and provides better services in the area of video and multimedia transmission. It improves the 3G technology in terms of speed, performance, reliability, portability, compatibility, and fault tolerance. 4G technology is more secure than its 3G counterpart Hosny, 2007, Wentzel et al., 2005.The widespread use of smart phones and tablet PCs makes them a good choice for learning as well Andreu et al., 2011, Shamim Hossain et al., 2014. Both the e-learning and the m-learning mobile learning can now be simultaneously used in a physical or virtual classroom. On example of the advantages of e-learning is to use the smart class facility, such as, E- podium to record the lecture materials in real time environment. An instructor can record while he is lecturing in the class. After recording the lecture, the instructor can upload it on the special Learning Management Services LMS, which are readily available and utilized by most universities around the world. The LMS system is equipped with platforms like blackboard, WebCT, etc. Once the lecture is uploaded, it can be viewed and listened through mobiles or computers connected to the Internet. The viewers must login to access the of the problems associated to this system is that the lectures cannot be viewed or the participants cannot interact simultaneously with the lecturer. Therefore, it can be regarded as a one-way traffic. To solve this problem, smart classroom concept equipped with enhanced technology can be considered. This technology can be well utilized in co-learning environment. There are several learning frameworks that have been developed before Lytras, 2010, Lytras, 2011, Mohamed, 2013, Shamim Hossain et al., 2009, Shamim Hossain and El Saddik, 2008; however, these frameworks do not utilized the latest eLearning technology in the form of a smart rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 gives an overview of the existing e-learning and m-learning facilities; Section 3 presents a possible enhancement to the learning system; Section 4 gives an example of a tutorial system using the enhanced system, and finally, Section 5 draws some snippetsAn overview of a smart class using LMSThe current system utilizes the LMS technology, which involves software applications for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of e-learning programs. In the case of King Saud University KSU, the university has carefully chosen an LMS system that is consistent with the University’s long-term goals and best addresses the academic needs of the of the most important benefits of LMS is its user-friendly features. Stu-dents can login to the system anywhere andEnhancement to the existing learning systemLMS systems are software applications that provide university faculty and students with online training programs, virtual classrooms and online lectures and seminars. It can facilitate online educational opportunities, such as electronic exams, online video courses and supplemental sessions and lectures, as well as direct communication with course administrators and current problem of the existing system is that it cannot provide simultaneous interaction between the students andCase study digital signal processing courseThe enhanced technology of the learning system can be explained through a core engineering course, which is digital signal processing DSP. DSP is a mandatory course in the electrical and electronics engineering, and to an extent in the computer engineering curriculum. This course mainly deals with sampling, quantization, A/D converter, different transformation such as Fourier transform and z-transform, filter design, application of DSP in speech and image processing, and hardwareConclusionsOne of the main outcomes of any learning system is to ensure the delivery and attainment of quality educational programs. An enhanced learning system is necessary for favorable recognition in any discipline. In this paper, the authors have tried to detail a smart classroom environment facilitated with enhanced technology for an uninterrupted lecture over multi-class. The enhanced technology includes real-time mixer, streaming of the server, multi-screen display, rotating angle cameras, highlyAcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by the Deanship of Scientific Research, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia under grant number 13 et strategy for mobile technology in the classroom experience at the Universidad de TarapacáIngeniare.
