Smart University: Literature Review and Creative Analysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies ((SIST,volume 70))

Abstract

Research, design, and development of smart universities, smart education, smart classrooms, smart learning environments, smart pedagogy, smart learning and academic analytics, and related topics became the main themes of various pioneering international and national events and projects, governmental and corporate initiatives, institutional agendas, and strategic plans. This paper presents the outcomes of an ongoing project aimed at a systematic literature review and creative analysis of professional publications available in those areas. The premise is that the outcomes of the performed systematic creative analysis will enable researchers to identify the most effective and well-thought ideas, approaches, developed software and hardware systems, technical platforms, smart features and smartness levels, and best practices for the next evolutionary generation of a university—a smart university. The presented Smart Maturity Model can be viewed as an evolutionary approach for a traditional university to progress to various levels of maturity of smart university.
