“…There are several software tools that can be used in flipped-classroom sessions. Interactive whiteboards such as SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) Board [18] and Promethean [19] may be utilized to enhance in-class discussions and group activities. Lecturers and students can use the whiteboard to display and annotate content, as well as to facilitate student collaboration and feedback.…”

Flipped learning changes the traditional instructional approach of lectures. In flipped classrooms, the students work at home, while in-class sessions are used for other more interactive and active learning approaches guided by the lecturer. While flipped learning has shown many benefits, it is not easy to include remote students in face-to-face in-class sessions, and there is still reluctance from shy students to participate. In technological courses, classroom sessions in flipped learning require the installation of many software packages together with those tools commonly used by the students. Our objective is to improve these limitations in flipped learning by using an infrastructure implemented to deliver synchronous remote labs. Our study was conducted with 50 students of two different courses. Seven different sessions were delivered following a flipped-classroom approach. In the classroom, the participants used our infrastructure to discuss the different approaches, actively searching for the best solution as a group. Student satisfaction was measured with anonymous questionnaires. In their opinion, the infrastructure facilitates discussions, encourages them to participate and be more critical, and increases the quality of their work, skills, and learning process. They evaluated the system with 4.6 points out of 5.

“…The erasure feature makes it easy to edit written work, as one can easily rub off and edit work and even save it afterwards [27]. Smart boards are beneficial because they improve students' engagement [4], [15], increase motivation [28], increase student achievement and retention of information [28], [29], address different learning styles [30], enable collaboration [31] and provide a dynamic learning experience [32], [33], thereby improving teaching and learning experiences [34]. Lessons conducted using smart boards are fun and enjoyable [35], [36].…”

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have grown rapidly, becoming an integral part of today’s society and affecting how daily activities are conducted worldwide. They have transformed the education landscape and today’s classrooms have evolved from traditional blackboards to whiteboards and then to smart boards. The smart board technology (SBT) is considered one of the innovative teaching and learning technologies for different levels in education. However, the challenge is the low adoption of the SBT in teaching and learning environments by educators, particularly in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the adoption of smart board technology. Using an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, a quantitative, cross-sectional survey was utilised to gather data from 224 academics from a South African university. Findings revealed that the adoption of smart board technology at the university is low and smart board features are inadequately used. Additionally, results showed that social influence and attitude toward using technology were significantly the key factors affecting users’ intentions to adopt smart boards. Facilitating conditions had a very strong statistically significant effect on users’ behaviour to use smart boards.

Digital teaching support devices, like digital boards, are becoming increasingly popular to improve concept learning, as they allow manipulating represented objects in new and very innovative ways if compared with traditional boards. However, their acquisition cost (device, software licenses, additional hardware), and the lack of deployment flexibility to adapt to certain classroom configurations, are the main problems that prevents them to be used in a substantial number of educational environments or slow their adoption rate. This research shows that a color recognition algorithm, applied to projected images captured by consumergrade webcams, can successfully provide functionalities equivalent to typical digital boards on low-budget educational environments. This way, a pointer object is recognized by its color, and its actions are interpreted at real time to be converted to standard UI actions in the computer screen, as a standard input device. The prototype has been also designed to be usable in classroom environments of different sizes, available space, or configuration, maximizing reutilization of existing elements in the classroom. The research prototype was successfully deployed in a real classroom using modest hardware, inexpensive requirements, and very flexible setup options, adapting both to student and teacher needs.
