<b>Overview</b><br class="">
-----------------------------------------------------------<br
class="">
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.<br>
This special issue is supported by the Association for Smart
Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development (<a

<b>Topics of Interest</b><br class="">
-----------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<i><b>Human-centered design</b></i><br>
• frameworks, literacies (data, design, digital, etc.), learning
through design, methodological advances (HCD, participatory design,
action research, etc.) <br>
• outreach: community involvement, designing dissemination<br>
<br>
<i><b>Places</b></i><br>
• 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<br>
<br>
<b><i>Technologies</i></b><br>
• 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)<br>
• case studies of the technologies above as well as games, VR, and
IoT<br>
