A smart classroom is the one, which is equipped with latest tools and technologies that are based on the internet. Various web-based tools are also being used to enhance teaching and learning experience. To provide appropriate content to the students, based on their level of understanding, learning analytics could be helpful. Students would be provided with the content, based on assessments and tests, the result of which could analyze the area of improvement suggested for them. In this way, faculty can ensure that learning is taking place at each level in the classroom. This research paper highlights such environment which provides a strong base for learning analytics for enhanced learning environment especially in higher education.
