Abstract
Several views of smart education at home and abroad have been published within this decade. The aim of this chapter is to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of the research on smart education. We review the overview, teaching model and case details of the teaching activities within a smart classroom. The review focuses on four broad aspects. The first section reviews basic summaries of the smart classroom, including the origins and background of the smart classroom, the functions of the smart classroom and its basic equipment and resources, etc. The second part synthesizes research on the teaching model of the smart classroom and its importance and the theoretical basis which the teaching activities rely on. The third section provides insights into the current case focused on teaching activities in the smart classroom. Finally, we discuss the ongoing development and implications for pedagogical theory, future models and frameworks, and the development and implication for the design, practice and application. The review closes by identifying gaps in the current research base and suggesting further research.
