Abstract
Context-aware classrooms augment traditional classrooms with unprecedented sensing and communication capabilities to monitor and analyse large amounts of contextual data. Enriching classrooms with these data opens up new opportunities to enhance the learning experience in education centres. However, implementing and deploying context-aware classrooms is not straightforward. This article describes the challenges addressed by the ACTUA project, which aims to advance the development of context-aware classrooms in primary schools.
