*Overview*

-----------------------------------------------------------

Design is the cornerstone literacy to realize smart learning ecosystem 

where technologies are supportive of the multidimensional human 

wellbeing and help learning places to recover their central role in the 

education of future citizens and in the achievement of social innovation 

and territorial development. We welcome contributions from people that 

are deeply involved to concretize the above vision also as a 

contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable 

Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve, overall, a better learning for a 

better world.



This special issue is supported by the Association for Smart Learning 

Ecosystems and Regional Development (ASLERD).

*Topics of Interest*

-----------------------------------------------------------

Topics of interest include research papers that understand, conceive, 

and promote innovative people-centric design and development methods, 

education/training practices, informal social learning, and citizen 

involvement. Sub-topics can be grouped into (i) places for learning, 

(ii) people in place centered design, (iii) supportive learning technologies



• Places for learning

visions and future of institutional learning; interplay of formal and 

informal learning; novel educational models and settings; sharing & 

participatory practices; mixed educational approaches; dual education 

and other alternate scheme approaches; cultural influences; 

(dis-)continuity of time, technology, places, spaces, and processes; 

gamification of learning



• People in place centered design

general frameworks and methodological advancement; design, data and 

other relevant literacies; relation with digital skills & competences; 

literacies, skill and competences of smart citizens; community 

involvement in smart learning; learning through designing; monitoring 

and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region)



• Supportive Learning Technologies

IoT, ubiquitous, VR and wearable technological supports; safety & 

security and privacy; interoperability of data & services; application 

of open, smart and geolocalized data in education; context awareness and 

adaptation
