Overview of the development of smart classrooms under information technology: development and innovation of hardware and software

With the rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT), smart classroom has become an important trend in education modernization. This article reviews the development of smart classrooms from the hardware and software levels. The hardware describes the transformation from the construction of basic ICT facilities in single mode to a multi-modal information cloud platform. In terms of software, we look at the evolution of related supporting algorithms and technologies from the platform construction technology to the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology from the perspectives of learning analysis and data mining. Provide guidance and suggestions for future educators, researchers and policymakers on the future direction of smart classrooms.
