*orgnized by the PLEIADE partnership
SLERD 2021 is proud to invite colleagues - researchers and practitioners - from all over the world to share the efforts concerning the development of smart learning ecosystems and, contributions on how to build together a brilliant post pandemic future, where smart learning ecosystems and smart education will be even more central in the education of future citizens, and in the promotion of social innovation and territorial development.
/Short Intro/
In 2020 the pandemic has affected the learning processes all over the world and learning ecosystems have reacted showing different degrees of resilience and promptness with emergence of similarities, differences and inequalities. Among the similarities, a tendency of the individuals to remain in a comfort zone and a general unpreparedness to operate in a full virtual space. Suddenly the two dimensions that characterizes the smart learning ecosystems - physical and virtual - started to be perceived somewhat as antithetical and it came out that the e-maturity of a learning ecosystem is not sufficient to explain and predict its transformation. Many factors concur - processual, social, individual - to determine the technological evolution of learning ecosystems and their smartness. For sure the pandemic has generated a higher awareness about the intrinsic nature of the smart learning ecosystems and it is likely that they will no longer be the same after the pandemic. Some scholars refer to an age characterized by a so-called new normality. What should we expect for future learning ecosystems? How smart learning ecosystems are already changing? How such changes may be related to the achievement of a better learning for a better world as a contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ? How will they contribute to the reduction of inequalities?/
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. / //Topics of interests/
can be grouped under three big themes:
/* places for smart education
/
future of institutional learning
interplay between formal and informal learning
new educational models and settings
continuity-discontinuity of time, technology, place/space, processes in learning

dual education and other alternate scheme approaches
monitoring and benchmarking of smartness (individual, institution, city, region)
/ people in place centered design for smart education*/
*
general frameworks and methodological advances
design, data and other relevant literacies
smart citizens literacies, skill and competences
communities and co-design in smart learning
sharing & participatory practices
open access to any resource and disparity
cultural influences
/ supportive learning technologies for smart education*/
