4th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional
Development
Project and design literacy as cornerstones of smart education

May 22-24, 2019
/Rome, Italy/

slerd2019.uniroma2.it

Contact: aslerd [dot] org [at] gmail [dot] com

=========================================================
Deadline for paper submission: February 1, 2019
=========================================================

SLERD 2019 includes also
the third edition of the
Student Design Contest
PEOPLE CENTERED SMART LEARNING ECOSYSTEMS

and will host on May 21, few selected special tracks and workshops

=========================================================
SLERD 2019 is organized by /ASLERD/
in collaboration with/ITD-CNR,
Quasar Design University, ISIA Roma/ and the /University of Rome Tor
Vergata SPFS Dept./

SLERD 2019 is proud to invite and welcome contributions from
researchers and practitioners that in their daily activity strive to put
in place a people in place centered approach and foster the development
of smart learning ecosystem where technologies are supportive of the
human wellbeing and help learning places in recovering the central role
in the education of future citizens, in the design and achievement of
social innovation and territorial development. We welcome contributions
from people that fight to reify the above vision as a contribution to
the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
to
achieve, in particular, a better learning for a better world
.

/Short Intro/

/Smart /referred to /learning ecosystems,/ in ASLERD and SLERD contexts,
does not simply means technology enhanced. The smartness is a more
complex multilayered construct related to the wellbeing of the players
operating in the ecosystems and is affected by the improvement of any
relevant aspects of the learning processes and ecosystem functioning,
especially if connected with territorial development and social innovation.
Technologies are mediators. Hopefully they should be included but they
are not a sine qua non.
The achievement of the learning ecosystems smartness is a process that
need a long term vision, multidisciplinary competences, an attitude to
understand people and contexts and to mediate point of views, a dynamic
resilience to keep on track to achieve, step by step, the foreseen
goals: in short a design literacy from which to make emerge projects and
processes capable to reify them, all aimed at achieving a people
centered smart education, social innovation and territorial development.
