Call for ideas and proofs of concept
The call invites students to submit ideas (first phase of the contest)
and proofs of concept/prototype (second phase of the contest) on how to
make learning ecosystems smarter. It is open to individuals and groups
of students (bachelor, master and PhD students). The winner (individual
or group) will be awarded with 500 €. Three individuals or groups
(finalists) will be selected to present their proofs of concept at SLERD
2019 and attend the conference for free. ASLERD will cover also stay
expenses (hotel and meals) for two representatives per finalist.
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT and GOALS
Smart Learning Ecosystems should perform at best on all the dimensions
that contribute to the well-being of students and all players involved
in the development of a learning process: /infrastructures, food,
environment, info/admin services, mobility, safety, social interaction,
satisfaction, challenges, self-fulfillment/. Being inspired by the flow
theory and by the Maslow’s pyramid, we can state that: ecosystems are
smart when /“individuals that take part in the local processes achieve a
high level of skills and, at the same time, are also strongly motivated
and engaged by continuous and adequate challenges, provided that their
primary needs are reasonably satisfied”./
The smartness of learning ecosystems, thus, is not created merely
through the availability of digital infrastructures and applications.
When technologies are both available and adopted enthusiastically, they
can start to make a difference in both simplifying and accelerating
progress toward the achievement of system smartness. One has to keep in
mind, however, that technologies are smart not because they are capable
of replacing human reasoning but, rather because they can help towards
achieving a people centered smartness, through streamlining mundane
organisational tasks, and enhancing the skills of all actors involved in
learning processes.
Our duty, with the help of technology, is to support learning ecosystems
(formal, informal, non-formal) to develop their people centered
smartness towards becoming incubators of social innovation and engines
of sustainable regional development./Smartness is a goal/ and we can
support our learning ecosystems along the process to achieve it by
proposing solutions capable to solve or mitigate problems that prevent
the learning ecosystems to be people centered.
We expect students, wishing to take part in the contest, to analyze
their learning ecosystem, detect problems and find solutions that can
help their, and as well other learning ecosystems, to get smarter.
