Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
Since 2016, the year during which ASLERD together with other
associations promoted the Timisoara Declaration – “Better learning
for a better world – Through People-Centered Smart Learning
Ecosystems” [1] – a number of happenings have impacted
considerably the evolution of the learning ecosystems to the point
that it is deemed necessary to revise the Timisoara Declaration
and promote a reflection on the configuration that learning
ecosystems may take in the future, well beyond 2030, i.e. the year
indicated by Unesco to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
[2].
The 2020 pandemic has left its mark and unveiled the real state of
the art in the integration of digital technologies as an aid to
the development of educational processes and, as well, on the
entity of the digital divide; it has also unveiled the basis of
the existing relationships between learning ecosystems, political
power and society at large.
Overcoming the present transmissive model, sometimes referred to
for the specifies of its organization as the school-factory model,
would seem to call for a transition to smart learning ecosystems
in which learning processes are expected to become
competence-based and foster the “learning by being” [3], in which
physical spaces are increasingly characterized by their
affordances and functionality as well as becoming phygital and
interconnected, in which learning processes are designed with
increasing awareness having as aim the achievement of the
wellbeing of all the actors of such processes, as well as that of
the society that, in turn, feel fully co-responsible for the
formation of young people, also as proactive inhabitants of a
world that they should respect in all its components, also to
preserve its state of health. A transition that cannot avoid to
take into due consideration the growing pervasiveness of
Artificial Intelligences and the need that young people have to
learn to tame and filter them, strong in the acquired skills that
will still make them inimitable and unique in their potential to
critically design and innovate.
This special issue dedicated to “Smart learning ecosystems beyond
the 2030s” is also the result of a debate that is taking place
within IAALDE (International Alliance to Advance Learning in the
Digital Era) [4] and which had an initial public discussion at the
open debate held on occasion of SLERD 2023 [5] to which took part
representatives of various associations such as APSCE – Asia
Pacific Society for Computers in Education, ASLERD – Association
for Smart Learning Ecosystem and Regional Development, GCSCE –
Global Chinese Society for Computers in Education, L@S – ACM`s
Learning at Scale, SoLar – Society for Learning Analytics
Research.
The purpose of the special issue, therefore, in addition to
collecting the contributions of those who participated in the
debate, is to broaden the discussion to scholars and practitioners
who are engaged in the development of future learning ecosystems
and who would like to contribute with and share their own vision.
