Quantum computing inspired framework of student performance assessment in smart classroom

Abstract

Summary Internet of Things (IoT) technology, merged with fog‐cloud computing, has provided efficient services in the education industry. Inspired by this aspect, this paper presents an effective framework of the smart classroom for optimal evaluation of the performance of students and teachers based on quantum game‐theoretic (QGT) decision making. Specifically, IoT technology is incorporated inside the classroom to acquire data about students and teachers for determining the academic enhancement of students. The acquired data is evaluated over the fog‐cloud computing platform to estimate a quantifiable measure of probability of performance using the Bayesian modeling technique. Moreover, to analyze the student and teacher performance over the temporal scale, student performance indicator and teacher performance indicator are calculated. Finally, student‐teacher performance is assessed using the effective two‐player quantum gametic decision‐making. The experimental simulation on four challenging datasets namely student performance (7029 instances), student academic performance (3585 instances), student performance prediction (2120 instances), and student performance analysis (6507 instances) shows the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The simulation results are contrasted with various state‐of‐the‐art techniques to estimate the overall efficiency of the proposed system. Moreover, mathematical analysis has been carried out to depict the performance of the proposed framework.

Smart Classroom Adoption in Higher Education: A Thematic Review

“…While discussing technology in the smart classroom, the discussion on IoT is inevitable. For example, The Internet of Things (IoT) technology, combined with fog-cloud computing, has enabled the education industry to provide efficient services (Bhatia & Kaur, 2020). Specifically, IoT technology is integrated into the classroom to collect data on students and teachers in order to determine students' academic progress (Bhatia & Kaur, 2020).…”

Moreover, smart Classrooms are educational spaces that incorporate technology in a variety of ways, from the incorporation of digital devices and learning software to the inclusion of sensor networks that assist in tracking classroom processes, collecting data, and providing insights to aid in decision-making for better and faster learning, as well as to provide more convenient teaching and learning conditions for educators and students (Cebrian et al, 2020).…”

“…Several study talks about RFID application in the smart classroom to detect classroom's ambient environment (Bhatia & Kaur, 2020), to tag sensor to control attendance (Cebrián et al, 2020), RFID-enabled Smart Attendance (Enugala & Vuppala, 2018) and smart bench in a smart classroom accessed through RFID system (Banu et al, 2020). Hence, RFID can offer a lot of potential to enhance smart classroom in the future.…”

“…Using a cloud system based on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology for time attendance was discussed in the paper by (Alassery, 2019). Further, Bhatia & Kaur (2020) proposed IoT-fog-cloud computing and QGT collaborations provide a novel method for collecting, processing, and making real-time decisions based on ubiquitous data. However, Cui & Xu (2019) argue that the cloud platform in a smart classroom serves the opposite purpose of effectively utilising the smart classroom's potential and enhancing the level of laboratory data operation.…”

“…In the teaching of basic English courses, we generally emphasize the importance of putting practice first. The so-called practice is not only about the country vigorously practicing and finding suitable teaching forms, but also about universities and teachers constantly practicing, innovating teaching models, stimulating the motivation of teachers and students to learn [3][4][5]. It is also about cultivating students' awareness of self-directed and continuous learning.…”
