Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
Learning ecosystems are getting smarter and play a central role in
regional development and social innovation. “Smart,” thus, are not
simply technology-enhanced learning ecosystems but, rather, learning
ecosystems that promote the multidimensional well-being of all players
of learning processes (i.e., students, professors, administrative
personnel and technicians, territorial stakeholders, and, for the
schools, parents) and that contribute to the increase of the social
capital of a “region,” also thanks to the mediation of the technologies.
Elicited work should inform the understanding of learning ecosystems and
accompanying design for “smartness,” foster the development of policies
and action plans, or support technological impact.
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 human-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) learning technologies, and (iii) human-centered design.

/Human-centered design/
• frameworks, literacies (data, design, digital, etc.), learning through
design, methodological advances (HCD, participatory design, action
research, etc.)
• outreach: community involvement, designing dissemination

/Places/
• visions of institutional learning, interplay of formal and informal
learning, novel educational models, mixed educational approaches,
cultural influences, (dis-)continuity of time, technology, places,
spaces, and processes

/Technologies/
• topics on data (management): open, smart, interoperable, safety,
security, privacy, trustworthiness, veracity and quality assurance,
mining, ubiquitous, open access, sharing, wearables, geo-localization,
context awareness and adaptation, monitoring and benchmarking of
smartness on different levels (personal, organization, region)
• case studies of the technologies above as well as games, VR, and IoT
