Emerging Issues in Smart Learning

Abstract

Our university is currently developing an advanced physical-digital learning environment that can train the students with better discussion and presentation skills. The environment guarantees an efficient discussion among users with state-of-the-art technologies such as touch panel discussion tables and posters. It includes a data mining system that efficiently records, summarizes, and annotates the discussion. It will be further enhanced by using a vision system to facilitate the interactions enabling a more automated discussion mining.
