Abstract: The main goals of a smart class are supporting a variety of teaching-learning methods in an online class environment, generating and sharing content with ease without constraints, temporal and spatial alike, fostering online interactions, and managing teaching-learning materials efficiently in a cloud environment. This study seeks to explore more effective class strategies through a case study on a smart class-based class. According to the study findings, a smart class improves learners’ digital literacy, facilitates data-sharing with and feedback from fellow learners, enhances learners’ willingness to participate in class, and elicits positive reactions from them toward novel experiences. These findings imply that smart devices, not just offering convenience in information access, encourage learners to actively take part in the production and utilization of diverse information in the teaching-learning process.

Key words: smart devices, smart class, class strategy, digital literacy
