  • Abstract
    Technology has influenced various industries, including the educational sector. SMART™ Table can be regarded as a technological tool carrying various benefits for enhancing the students and teachers classroom experience. The study has focused on the key features of the SMART Table designed by the researcher. The components of the supply chain process in the development and delivery of the device have been explained. Moreover, the benefits and limitations of the use of SMART Table in the classroom have been covered. A few of the notable benefits are ease of memorization of content, doing homework and giving presentations. The cost of SMART Table is a key challenge that can limit the integration of the device as a learning tool. Another issue that can create barrier in the adoption of SMART Table by students and teachers is the lack of readiness to adopt this technology in the classroom. As evident from the findings, a preference for white board and concern towards the lack of surety about usefulness of SMART Table in communication between teachers and students can limit its applicability in the University of Bridgeport. Nevertheless, the benefit of SMART Table in educational sector cannot be overlooked as it supports students and teachers in dealing with complex concepts and content.
