The Application and Challenges of Intelligent Voice Classroom Technology in Interactive Teaching: A Qualitative Study Based on Educational Experts

Open access
With the continuous advancement of digital education, intelligent voice classroom technology has shown great potential in enhancing the quality and efficiency of interactive teaching. This study employs qualitative methods based on in-depth interviews with three experts in the field (coded as Expert A, Expert B, and Expert C) to explore the current application status, challenges, and optimisation strategies of intelligent voice classroom technology in interactive teaching at a higher normal university P in Henan Province, China. The findings reveal that intelligent voice classroom technology significantly enhances student interaction and engagement and supports personalised learning paths. However, technological limitations, uneven distribution of educational resources, and acceptance issues remain key factors restricting its widespread application and effectiveness. Based on these findings, the paper proposes a series of recommendations to optimise the application of intelligent voice classroom technology in the educational field. These include strengthening teacher training, improving technological accessibility, and ensuring equity. These recommendations are intended to promote the effective application of intelligent voice classroom technology in education, facilitating its continuous development and optimisation in interactive teaching. By integrating professional knowledge and practical experiences from different perspectives, this study provides in-depth insights into the application of intelligent voice classroom technology in interactive teaching. It proposes practical strategies for the development of educational technology. This is important for enhancing the quality of higher education and promoting technological innovation.
