We live in an era where billions of computers are interconnected. In the very near future, not only computers but also many different digital devices and other physical objects will be seamlessly connected to each other and be able to communicate with little or no human intervention. These interconnected objects are called smart devices, and this concept is called Internet of Things. In this paper, the focus is on the application of IoT in the Smart Classrooms. The aim of the paper is to discuss how intelligent ambient can be used to provide realtime, automatic feedback on the quality of the lecture based on the number of parameters. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to specify the problem and analyze the requirements. The parameters of interest that should be collected and analyzed are discussed. Finally, the main requirements that such a system should comply with are presented and proposed as the experimental design.
