Learning environments have changed significantly in the past few decades due to the inclusion of emerging Information and Communication Technology (ICT), both hardware and software, as well as a variety of online media in classrooms. Learners today utilize mobile gadgets and applications as their primary sources of information, knowledge, and social discourse. However, despite these advances in educational technologies and the way learners have adapted to their changing environments, many classrooms today still employ teaching methods of the past: lecture formats, unauthentic assessments, and rote learning. Technology is often used to supplement, rather than drive, the learning environment. The current dilemma faced by education institutions and leaders in the industry, then, is how to lessen the divide between the current learning environment, and the learning traits, skills and expectations of the learners it serves. In order to ensure that learners are provided a relevant and engaging learning experience, it is becoming increasingly vital for such smart learning environments (SLE) to be implemented in secondary and tertiary learning institutions. A SLE is one that features the use of innovative technologies and elements that allow greater flexibility, adaptation, engagement, and feedback for the learner (Spector, 2014). All in all, these technological advancements are potentially revolutionary for the way teachers and learners interact, paving the way for more learner-centred learning environments.
