INTRODUCTION
------------
From the Far East, to the Americas and to Europe, cities, villages and
their surroundings are evolving towards a new dimension in which the
info infrastructure becomes an indispensable asset of our life,
contributes to the development of info-ecosystems embracing 'smart
mobility and last-mile logistics', 'smart health', 'smart government',
'smart culture and tourism', the sustainability of the natural resources
and the green economy. Such integrated effort of info-urbanism is
expected to produces social innovation and, inevitably, leads to wonder
about what forms can take the smart education underlined by all pieces
that compose the mosaic of the info-ecosystems.
The virtual infrastructure - web and mobile - will be integrated more
closely with the physical landscape - internet of thing and sensible
physical places - incorporating the latter into a complex ecosystem
which will bring forward opportunities to learn from everyday life.
Technologies, increasingly embedded into the everyday spaces and
artefacts, will make the places not only more sensitive but also
responsive and, potentially, coevolutionary (TEP - Technology Enhanced
Places) will give rise to new landscapes in which one can experiment,
seamless, the integration of physicality and virtuality.
The person, considered in all her/his complexity, will be placed at the
center of educational contexts and scenarios increasingly ubiquitous,
complex, organic. Scenarios where the mediating role of technology will
widen over the time to: foster relationships with the natural
environments, filter content needed to support meaningful experiences at
glocal level, disclose feedback necessary to learn how to manage "in
action", the complexity of static and dynamic, of learning contexts and
processes.
Through which educational path will everyone, and especially youths,
become “participatorly” aware citizens of the future "SimCities"?
How will we learn from the open books that are represented by cities of
art, parks, agro-tech and industrial/productive districts ?
How will data flowing from sensorised areas and personal devices will be
elaborated to support awareness and continuous learning?
How will our behaviour be influenced by knowledge of co-evolution
mechanisms and limits of the ecosystems?
Will the educational infrastructure be smart enough to readjust, even
“autopoietically”, to satisfy the needs that everyone could develop life
long, in different contexts?
Would "smart cities learning" help to reinforce social inclusion and a
common sense of belonging ?

TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
Contributions from people having a 'forward vision' are solicited on the
following 'open' list of topics:
• Technological Ecosystems supporting learning within and from the
'smart cities' (toward 'web-mobile-internet of thing' integrated
environments)
• Educational Ecosystems: from ''intelligence' to long-life autopoietic
education (re-skill & edupoiesis)
• Future 'smart cities' learning scenarios (contexts and methods for the
citizens of the future)
• Ecological monitoring and visualization of flows, behaviors,
experience's styles and 'smart cities' learning (analytics and
visualization)
• The impact of contextualization, glocalities, identities (cultural
effect and inclusion)
