Abstract
Learning activities and environments have changed dramatically in the last 50 years, in large part due to information and communications technologies. New technologies make it possible to create a smart learning engine in the form of an intelligent personalized learning system that can be integrated with a variety of interaction devices. In addition, on the instructional design and personalization/customization side of things, a smart learning environment can structure or recommend specific interactions for individual learners based on subject matter, learning goals and a learner’s preferences, interests, ability, and knowledge. This means that a smart learning environment can develop meaningful learning pathways for individual learners and create optimal learning activities to help learners attain intended goals by deploying suitable learning resources and interactive tools to enhance learning, performance, and the student’s experience.
