Abstract

To better educate in-classroom and remote students we will need to approach education and how we teach various types of students differently. In addition, students these days are more technological than ever and are demanding new and innovative ways to learn. One of the most promising approaches is based on design and development of smart universities and smart classrooms. This paper presents the up-to-date outcomes of research project that is aimed on analysis of students with disabilities and how they might benefit from smart software and hardware systems, and smart technology.
