<br>=========================================================
<br>Deadline for paper submission: *February 1, 2019*
<br>=========================================================
<br>
<br>*SLERD 2019* includes also
<br>the third  edition of the
<br>*Student Design Contest**
<br>**PEOPLE CENTERED SMART LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS
<br>
<br>*and will host on *May 21*, few *selected special tracks and workshops*
<br>
<br>=========================================================
<br>*SLERD 2019* is organized by /ASLERD/ 
<br> in collaboration with/ITD-CNR, 
<br>Quasar Design University, ISIA Roma/ and the /University of Rome Tor 
<br>Vergata SPFS Dept./
<br>
<br>*SLERD 2019* is proud to invite and welcome contributions from 
<br>researchers and practitioners that in their daily activity strive to put 
<br>in place a people in place centered approach and foster the development 
<br>of smart learning ecosystem where technologies are supportive of the 
<br>human wellbeing and help learning places in recovering the central role 
<br>in the education of future citizens, in the design and achievement of 
<br>social innovation and territorial development. We welcome contributions 
<br>from people that fight to reify the above vision as a contribution to 
<br>the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 
<br> to 
<br>achieve, in particular, a better learning for a better world 
<br>.
<br>
<br>/*Short Intro*/
<br>
<br>/Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts, 
<br>does not simply means technology enhanced. The smartness is a more 
<br>complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players 
<br>operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any 
<br>relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning, 
<br>especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation.
<br>Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they 
<br>are not a sine qua non.
<br>The achievement of the learning ecosystems smartness is a process that 
<br>need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to 
<br>understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic 
<br>resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen 
<br>goals: in short a design literacy from which to make emerge projects and 
<br>processes capable to reify them, all aimed at achieving a people 
<br>centered smart education, social innovation and territorial development.
