The availability of easy access to the interactive smart panel in higher education has potential to improve the motivation of students to learn and to increase interest in it. But the value of this tool in learning depends on the extent to which it is integrated into the teaching methods. This research investigated students' motivation to learn, self-reporting by students themselves, before and after implementation of smart panels in a higher education institution in Surabaya, Indonesia, and also reviewed the institution's perspective on the use of smart panels in the classroom. This research uses mixed approach, which consists of pretest-posttest evaluation on one group of 33 students of PAI-B class and descriptive interview with three institutional representatives. The average score of motivation increased from 11.18 (SD=1.72), at the pretest stage, to 13.27 (SD=2.05), at the posttest stage, with an increase of 2.09 points. Paired-samples t-test was used to compare the average of the two measurements. The results revealed a significant difference between the two measurements, t(32) = -12.677, p < 0.001, with a large effect size (*standardised mean difference*) (|dᶻ| = 2.207). The results of the interview indicate an increase in the use of technology in course preparation, the level of flexibility in multimedia presentations, the clarity of visual explanations, and student participation, but show different levels of technology adoption among the lecturers. Research results, based on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and Self-Determination Theory, indicate that the potential of smart panels to motivate students depends on their integration in pedagogically meaningful learning activities.
