Abstract

The development of Smart University concepts started just several years ago. Despite obvious progress in this area, the concepts and principles of this new trend are not clarified in full yet. This can be attributed to the obvious novelty of the concept and numerous types of smart systems, technologies and devices available to students, learners, faculty and academic institutions. This paper presents the outcomes of a research project aimed at conceptual modeling of smart universities as a system based on smartness levels of a smart system, smart classrooms, smart faculty, smart pedagogy, smart software and hardware systems, smart technology, smart curriculum, smart campus technologies and services, and other distinctive components. The ultimate goal of this ongoing research project is to develop smart university concepts and models, and identify the main distinctive features, components, technologies and systems of a smart university—those that go well beyond features, components and systems used in a traditional university with predominantly face-to-face classes and learning activities. This paper presents the up-to-date outcomes and findings of conceptual modeling of smart university.
