Abstract

In a smarter university/college, various matters should be interconnected for effective functioning. These include hardware, software, systems, institutional policies, including admission policy, curriculum policy, and diploma policy, faculty development, and information sharing. Our past practices of innovative smart education are highly evaluated and, as a result, financially supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan, and National Institute of Technology, Gifu College (NIT, Gifu College). The efforts of smart education are being promoted at an accelerated rate. All of the faculty members are interconnecting the various matters. Active learning practiced at NIT, Gifu College is characterized by the use of educational systems with ICT equipment. From this point of view, in this chapter, active learning has almost the same meaning as smart education. Based on this idea, we describe various practices for building a smarter college.
