1.1 INTRODUCTION
Technology has come to stay in our lives. It is no longer restricted to being something that is
invented in isolation in a laboratory. Instead, it has become a way of life. The influence exerted by
technology has been so widespread that now it is almost impossible to name a field where it is not
being put to use.
Last few years, the impact of technology is influencing in all sectors from industries to
elementary education. There has been a spectacular development in the use of E-learning in the
past few years, and consequently, computer-mediated communication has attracted more
attention.
E-learning, which employs electronic media as part of delivery system and encompasses diverse
learning strategies and technologies including computer based learning, web based learning,
virtual classrooms, and digital collaborations. Its cost effectiveness, flexibility of learning
anytime anywhere, uniform delivery to all users reducing chances of misinterpretations,
promotion of team learning & discussion, and easy access to global community, has given it a
competitive edge over the traditional method of learning. The distinctive features of E-learning
are making it more popular around the globe.
E-Learning is present in different forms. The most modern type of e-learning followed today is
smart classroom education. Schools are readily implementing this system to modernize the
method of teaching in the school. The concept of smart classrooms does not completely do away
with the traditional method of teaching. Rather it seeks to club the use of technology with
conventional methods. The resultant product is a harmonious blend of the modern and the traditional.
For instance, the teacher while teaching a lesson on volcanoes will supplement the information given
in books by showing a video of how a volcano erupts.

1.5 LITERATURE REVIEW
Before discussing about the smart classrooms, we should know about the e-learning as smart
classroom solutions are the type of e-learning solution.
1.5.1 Definition of E-Learning
E-learning is the acquisition and use of knowledge distributed and facilitated primarily by
electronic means. This form of learning currently depends on networks and computers, but
will likely evolve into systems consisting of a variety of channels (e.g., wireless, satellite),
7/27/2019 The perception of Schools management towards smart classroom education

and technologies (e.g., cellular phones, personal digital assistants) as they are developed
and adopted.
E-learning can take the form of courses as well as modules and smaller learning objects. E-
learning may incorporate synchronous or asynchronous access and may be distributed
geographically with varied limits of time.
1.5.2 Evolution of E-Learning
E-Learning models are the most preferable mode of education in all parts of the globe. The
foot prints of E-learning models are traced, it shows that the influence of E-learning models
was used for first correspondence programs in the U.S. at Pennsylvania State University in
1892. They started this service to provide the education access to rural areas. In later years,
the correspondence model is changed into a better education program by using the
technology.
In 1920s and 1950s, they started to broadcast the course lessons through radio medium.
Due to the advancement of computer and networking technologies are providing a diverse
means to support learning in a more personalized, flexible, portable and on-demand
manner. These radical and sweeping changes in learning needs and technology have
catapulted a revolutionary transition in modern learning tools in the backdrop of the
internet, commonly referred to as E-learning.
The History of e-Learning
Instructor-Led Training Era (Pre 1983)
Before computers were widely available, instructor - led training. ILT was the primary training
method. ILT allowed students to get away from the office to focus on their studies and to interact
with their instructor and classmates. However, ILT usually meant high costs and downtime
during office hours leading training providers to search for a better way to train.

Multimedia Era - (1984 to 1993)
Windows 3.1, Macintosh, CD-ROMs, PowerPoint marked the technological advancement of the
Multimedia Era. In an attempt to make training more transportable and visually engaging, CT
courses were delivered via CD-ROM. The anytime, anywhere availability of CD-ROM also
provided time and cost savings that the instructor-led training (ILT) could not and helped to
reshape the training industry. Despite the benefits the CD-ROM courses lacked instructor
interaction and dynamic presentation making the experience somewhat less than satisfying and
slower and less engaging for students.
Web Infancy - (1994 - 1999)
As the Web evolved, training providers began exploring how this new technology could improve
training. The advent of email, Web browsers, HTML, media players, low fidelity streamed
audio/video and simple Java began to change the face of multimedia training. Basic mentoring
via email, intranet CBT with text and simple graphics, and Web-based training with low quality
intermittent deliver Web costs emerged.
Next Generation Web - (2000 - 2005)
Technological advance including Java/IP network applications, rich streaming media, high-
bandwidth access, and advance Web site design - are revolutionizing the training industry.
Today, live instructor led training (ILT) via the Web can be combined with real-time mentoring,
improved learner services, and up-to-date, engaging "born on the web" content to create a
highly-effective, multi-dimensional learning environment. Today, organizations must empower
the worker with just-in-time learning thus the power of mobile solutions with PDA's and cell
phones are a solution whose time has come. It has been estimated that there will be more mobile
devises in the year 2005 than there will be integrated desktops. These sophisticated
training solutions provide even greater cost savings, higher quality learning experiences and are
setting the standards for the educational standards of the future.

1.5.3 Smart Classrooms
Smart Classrooms are technology enhanced classrooms that foster opportunities for teaching and
learning by integrating learning technology, such as computers, specialized software, audience
response technology, networking, and audio/visual capabilities.
The purpose because of which this technology emerged was basically to improve the teaching
and learning both. Other reasons supporting the technology are:
To develop a learning environment that utilizes technology that will enhance research-basedinstructional strategies
To develop the skills and confidence in teachers to use technology to change their students'learning experiences
To document the successes and challenges of technology integration with research-basedinstructional strategies
To document and disseminate information about the observed changes in the teacher, studentsand learning environment
To identify the most valued technology solutions in a classroom and develop the classroom modelfor implementation in the remaining classrooms throughout the district.
1.5.4 Implementation Barriers for Smart Classrooms Solutions
Several barriers to the implementation of e-learning had previously been identified in
the literature. The examples are:
1. Increased time commitment (workload) for academic staff.2. Development time3. Delivery time.4. Lack of strategic planning and visions.5. Lack of training in technological developments.6. Lack of support for pedagogical aspects of developments.
Lecturers lack of time. Mainly it is related to preparing the e-course and adjusting
existing courses into e-course format.

Learning materials and time management. In case of ordinary learning situation,
the planning and time management is being done for the student by curriculum
administration department. But in case of e-learning course, the student himself /herself
has to take active role in it and that necessitates much more self- discipline and
becomes one of the major issues why students drop e-courses.
Loss of teachers aura and possibility of discussion. Some special subjects (e.g.
social science, Moral etc.) require a lot of discussion and quick feedback and that
makes the notion of turning these courses into full-fledged e-courses highly
questionable. Blended learning offers solution: lectures in virtual environment,
seminars, and practical assignments in class roomin face-to-face environment.
Technology. The technology issues followed two main themes: hardware problems
with the schools network server and Internet bandwidth issues.
Lack of face-to-face communication. Some younger students expressed regret that
they were not able to sit in math class with their peers.
Comparison to regular courses. Some students felt that their on-line course work
was more difficult than the work their peers in normal regular school were doing.
Others said that they felt their Cyber School courses took more time than that of their
peers in regular courses. One had also remarked that there was a drop in his math score
in the on-line school compared to what he had obtained in a regular course the previous
year.
1.5.5 Past Researches
1. Smart Classroom: Enhancing Collaborative Learning Using Pervasive ComputingTechnology (Stephen S. Yau, Sandeep K. S. Gupta, Fari az Kar im, Sheikh I . Ahamed,
Yu Wang, and Bin Wang):
In this paper, author have presented the details of Smart Classroom, which facilitates
collaborative learning. It is designed to increase the level and quality of collaboration
between students and instructor in a classroom. Functionalities of Smart Classroom
7/27/2019 The perception of Schools management towards smart classroom education
12/62
12
including an example course were described. Author says that implemented different
functionalities of Smart Classroom is already implemented, now features must be added
to the technology, like mobile technology etc.
2. A Comparative Study Of Schools With And Without Smart Classrooms In RelationTo Achievement Motivation Of Students (Amritbir Kaur):
The researcher in this paper talks about the importance of smart classroom with reference
to the achievement motivation. Since there is a usage of a larger number of senses in this
technique than is there in case of traditional teaching, therefore a large percentage of
students in school with smart classrooms are highly motivated towards achievement. The
students studying in schools with smart classrooms are better motivated to achieve more
and more in life. The Computer Assisted Instruction is more effective than the traditionalmethod. The retention is higher when taught through Computer Aided Instruction as
Support System. She says that the schools must try to integrate the innovations coming
up in the field of education (like that of smart classroom) with the traditional teaching, as
much as possible, to make the teaching learning process more effective.
3. The Smart Classroom versus Traditional Classrooms: What the students are saying(Tornabene):
For the study author took the feedback of students. For the purpose he considered two
classrooms, one equipped with smart class technology, and the other a normal traditional
classroom. Most student preferred classroom with smart technologies. Student had no
problem in studying for extra hours in the classroom as the real time experience was
obtained in the smart classrooms. It attracted them, they dint feel any distraction while
studying there. Therefore author says that since the technology is present and it is
gathering attention of students and helping them to better understand the topic then such
kind of technology should be implemented by schools and technology

2.1 Industry Profile
India is fast emerging as an E-learning hub, because of its ability to provide a large pool of a
highly educated workforce. There are a number of other potential factors for IT outsourcing in
India, such as cost-efficiency, quality, technical support and a growing economy. In that context
education is costly and moving ahead for higher education is even costlier, so major portion of
masses remain uneducated and lot many learners have to quit their education half way. With fast
growth of Internet, technology and multimedia the world has come closer and provided us with
numerous benefits over the older technologies and learning techniques, maintaining learner's
interest and providing extensible, rich learning experiences with integration of physically
objects. Over time, professionals of the e-learning industry and their clients saw the need for
cost-effective solutions. Thus, the developed solutions are cost-effective, as compared to other

3.1 Introduction
Research is finding something again. It is different from Discovery or Invention, it is to find the
existing facts and analysis them. So, the basic motive is to study the existing problem and tries to
find the solution, if any or try to search out for better options, if available.
Research can be defined as systemized effort to gain new knowledge. A research is carried out
by different methodologies which have their own pros and cons. Research methodology is a way
to solve research in studying and solving research problem along with logic behind them are
defined through research methodology. A Research can be done by both ways, Exploratory and
Descriptive, as per the need. Here the researcher has done descriptive research to know about the
recommendation pattern of school to their client for the Helix luminaries
3.2 Research Design
Research design states the whole procedure of collecting the datas from the sample. What type
of research design has been taken or opted to complete this project worthwhile, that has been
described below. The research design consists of selecting the sample, collecting the datas
from those samples and most importantly the process has been taken to take those datas from
the sample (research methodology), everything. So to submit a good project report, ones
research design should be very properly set.
Research is designed in the way that it covers all aspects of set objectives and serves the
purposes
3.3 Sample Profile
Keeping in view the time consideration my project guide determine the size of sample, the
sample profile was survey on school present. The samples I have collected through personal visit
to their offices. I meet with them personally to collect the data. Large sample gives reliable result
than small sample. However, it is not feasible to target all school or even a substantial portion to
7/27/2019 The perception of Schools management towards smart classroom education
25/62
25
achieve a reliable result. So, in this aspect selecting the sample to study is known as sample size.
Hence, for my project my sample size is 50.
Survey Methodology
For the survey face to face research method was chosen as per the requirement of the survey and
the project. In this project the target customer were Management team of school and along with
the survey a catalogue of the Helix products was to be circulated. Face to face interaction was the
best way to complete the survey for the precise data collection feedback.
3.4 Tools & Methods of Data Collection
There are two methods of data collection: Primary and Secondary method. Secondary method, in
which data is collected from pre- collected resources.
In this Research, Primary Data Collection method has been used. Questionnaire was made
according to the objectives and personally interview was taken of the respondents.
Assumptions
1. It has been assumed that sample of 50 respondents represents the whole population(school).
2. The information given by the management team of school is unbiasedQuestionnaire
Questionnaire was designed after consulting with the project guide of the company.
Questionnaire was in such a way that defines current status of the Industry in terms of market
share, new ways of acquiring the new customers, and also a feedback from the current customer.
The questions were easy to understand and also the comfort level of the target customers was
considered.

3.5 Limitations
Every work has its own limitation. Limitations of this project are:-
1. Duration of Project is not enough to make a conclusion on such a vast subject timeconstraint has become a big limitation.
2. Changing the Mentality of school for recommending the Helix luminaries is also aconstraint.
3. Difficulty in convincing the school to find the proper information.4. It is a sheer challenge in getting an appointment with the school.5. The Management team of school was unwilling to share their details to a surveyor.6. Lack of awareness in modern technology that we are using now days.

FINDINGS
a) By referring to table no 4.1.1 it can be inferred that most of the schools surveyed areaware of smart classroom technology. Only 26% of the schools are unaware of thistechnology. Out of 74% of the schools which are aware of it only 38% (as on table 4.1.2
and chart no 4.1) of the schools are aware that Helix technology is also the player in this
smart classroom area. Therefore, it can be said that there is very less awareness about the
Helix Technology. Schools are aware about the latest technologies coming up in the
education industry.
b) Very less number of the schools are taking the advantage of this technology as it can beseen from the table no. 4.1.3. Only 28% of them have implemented this technology and
other being deprived of it. Out of these 28% of the schools equal share is taken by both
Everonn and Educomp smart classroom providers, as in table no. 4.1.4.
c) It was found that the main reason because of which, the technology which is verybeneficial and effective in its field, is not been implemented is that the schools do not
have enough money for implementing it. For doing this they will need to increase the fees
and as they say that fees cannot be increased, this shows that the students studying there
cannot afford high fees. Therefore, 27% of the schools said that since fees cannot be
increased thats why they cannot employ this technology. Table no 4.1.5 and chart no 4.2
talk about this. Around 40% of the respondents said that there are other reasons for not
using this technology; it may be because this technology is not accessible although they
are aware of it. Some of the schools also said that there faculties are not skilled enough
that they can use such technologies for teaching purpose.
d) By referring to table no 4.1.15, and 4.1.17, and chart no.4.7 & 4.9 we can know thefactors which attract the schools for smart class solutions. It provides real time experience
which is considered as the most effective factor by the respondents, around 50% of them
voted for this. 48% of the schools feel that it improves overall result of the school, which
is a good attraction for the same. Also, 75% of the educomp solution users feel that it
helps in creating a better understanding among students about the topic.
e) The schools which are already using this technology are Educomp and Everonn. In caseof both the customers 50% of users of each solution feel have experienced the

improvement in result after implementation of the solution, as in table no 4.1.16 and chart
no. 4.9. Considering table no 4.1.18, 4.1.19, 4.1.20, 4.1.21 it is observed that since there
is significant difference between the result of the students before implementing the
solution and that of after implementation, therefore it can be said that result of the
students improves after implementation of this technology.

RECOMMENDATIONS
a) After the complete study the entire findings show that Helix should reframe the 4Psconcentrating more on pricing strategy and promotions
b) The main problem with Helix product is that its price quite high than that of otherproviders, therefore company should concentrate on pricing strategy of the products.
c) It was observed that the schools which are already among the cream schools do not haveany kind smart class technology and they are not even interested for the same, but the
schools are growing with high pace are keen interested in these products, therefore Helix
Technology should target these growing schools.
d) It was also observed that Everonn has captured all the Government aided or trust aidedschools, Helix should also built contract with some kind of Government aided or trust
aided schools to capture the market.
