Abstract
Smart education creates unique and unprecedented opportunities for academic and training organizations in terms of higher standards and innovative approaches to (1) learning and teaching strategies—smart pedagogy, (2) unique highly technological services to local on-campus and remote/online students, (3) set-ups of innovative smart classrooms with easy local/remote student-to-faculty interaction and local/remote student-to-student collaboration, (4) design and development of Web-based rich multimedia learning content with interactive presentations, video lectures, Web-based interactive quizzes and tests, and instant knowledge assessment. This paper presents the outcomes of an ongoing research project aimed to create smart university taxonomy and identify main features, components, technologies and systems of smart universities that go well beyond those in a traditional university with predominantly face-to-face classes and learning activities.
