Techniques for Enhancing Pervasive Learning in Standard Natural Classroom

Standard Natural Classroom (SNC) is a real-time classroom based on smart space and design principles of e-learning, aiming at creating face-to-face, interactive and pervasive learning scene for students who are far from live classroom. We use various techniques in developing different kinds of components in SNC. Two components among them are specially described in this paper: E-pen and Emotion Understanding. E-pen focuses on helping teachers mark on the projection screen and several recognition algorithms are mentioned, while Emotion Understanding focuses on affective learning and is used to estimate students’ emotion.
