  • Patent number: 11301944
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method modifies physical classroom resources in a classroom. One or more processors identify and quantify physical classroom resources in the classroom based on sensor readings received from sensors in a classroom. The processor(s) determine physical classroom resource constraints that impede learning by students in the classroom based on the sensor readings from the sensors in the classroom. The processor(s) detect one or more of the physical classroom resource constraints in the physical classroom resources identified by the sensor readings, and then adjust the one or more physical classroom resources based on the one or more detected physical classroom resource constraints.
