<br>*Overview*
<br>-----------------------------------------------------------
<br>Design is the cornerstone literacy to realize smart learning ecosystem 
<br>where technologies are supportive of the multidimensional human 
<br>wellbeing and help learning places to recover their central role in the 
<br>education of future citizens and in the achievement of social innovation 
<br>and territorial development. We welcome contributions from people that 
<br>are deeply involved to concretize the above vision also as a 
<br>contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable 
<br>Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve, overall, a better learning for a 
<br>better world.
<br>
<br>This special issue is supported by the Association for Smart Learning 
<br>Ecosystems and Regional Development (ASLERD).

<br>*Topics of Interest*
<br>-----------------------------------------------------------
<br>Topics of interest include research papers that understand, conceive, 
<br>and promote innovative people-centric design and development methods, 
<br>education/training practices, informal social learning, and citizen 
<br>involvement. Sub-topics can be grouped into (i) places for learning, 
<br>(ii) people in place centered design, (iii) supportive learning technologies
<br>
<br>• Places for learning
<br>visions and future of institutional learning; interplay of formal and 
<br>informal learning; novel educational models and settings; sharing & 
<br>participatory practices; mixed educational approaches; dual education 
<br>and other alternate scheme approaches; cultural influences; 
<br>(dis-)continuity of time, technology, places, spaces, and processes; 
<br>gamification of learning
<br>
<br>• People in place centered design
<br>general frameworks and methodological advancement; design, data and 
<br>other relevant literacies; relation with digital skills & competences; 
<br>literacies, skill and competences of smart citizens; community 
<br>involvement in smart learning; learning through designing; monitoring 
<br>and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region)
<br>
<br>• Supportive Learning Technologies
<br>IoT, ubiquitous, VR and wearable technological supports; safety & 
<br>security and privacy; interoperability of data & services; application 
<br>of open, smart and geolocalized data in education; context awareness and 
<br>adaptation
