When students were asked whether they thought the smart classroom was a good place to learn how to do assignment, all of them replied yes. The explanation that ten students used to support their replies was about being an ideal place for presentation. While some mentioned having more freedom to think. Based on these findings, five students mentioned effective learning aid since they could access encyclopedia, dictionaries and use word processor applications for viewing and editing assignment. However, a few saw the importance of sharing details with others. It was also found that one student got new ideas every time they studied in this room and one student explained that he could connect for new learning easily such as connecting media.

Never assume simplicity is incomplete. The seed is what you are looking for.The teacher has to nurture that seed.

Smart Classroom instructional design strategiesLearning is multidimensional.

Learning occurs in various planes simultaneously.

Learning has potentialities which exist infinitely.

Learning environments are like living systems.

A classroom is a very complex environment

1. Long-term transfer requires a series of learning opportunities that involve varied cues for use of the learning, e.g., in different contexts.2. Long-term transfer also requires that learning episodes be spaced over time, i.e., the learner must use spaced practice.3. Varying cues and contexts make learning more challenging; this is essential for improving the probability that learning will transfer.4. Using multiple kinds of models and representing knowledge in multiple ways enhances the construction of knowledge so that it will transfer.5. Learner assumptions (e.g., that they are innately incapable of certain kinds of learning), experiences (e.g., of anxiety or pleasure with certain kinds of learning), and expectancies (e.g., that learning certain subjects is easy) must be assessed in order to help learners build effective models of knowledge that will transfer.6. Performance assessment and evaluation must focus on the main learning objectives in order to avoid learner misperceptions and the forgetting of essential knowledge as a result of attending to the wrong knowledge for the purpose at hand (e.g., learning to pass a test rather than learning to perform in a real context).7. In-depth knowledge is usually needed for effective transfer. The amount of information to be learned at Blooms Levels 1 and 2 must support the goal of transfer.8. Learning strategies must be validated with empirical evidence that they actually produce desired outcomes in learner transfer of knowledge. The critical determinate for learning is continuity of process
