OPEN QUESTIONS
--------------------------
In future Smart City scenarios many questions arise and wait for answers
and solutions, among them:
• How the way of learning has changed, is changing and will change
because of the smart city, and in particular what are the literacy and
competences people need to learn in order to live in a smart city
environment ?
• Through which educational technology supported path will everyone, and
especially youths, become “participatorly” aware learners and citizens
of the future smart cities ?
• 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?
• Would 'smart cities learning' help to reinforce social inclusion and a
common sense of belonging ?
• and last but not least, how all this may depend on the characteristics
of the environment and how much room there will be for personalization
and contextualization ? Will the educational infrastructure be smart
enough to readjust, even “autopoietically”, to satisfy the needs and
support the expectations that everyone could develop life long, in
different contexts?
TOPICS OF INTEREST
-------------------------------
Smart City Learning @ ICALT2013 is looking for contributions that
describe, explain or envision:
• Technological Ecosystems supporting learning within and from the
'smart cities' (toward 'web-mobile-internet of thing' integrated
environments)
• Educational Ecosystems: from ''intelligence' to life-long autopoietic
education (re-skill & edupoiesis)
• Ubiquitous serious games for Smart City Learning
• 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)
Privacy and security for learning in ubiquitous environment (safe
environments and fluxes)
Unique models for ‘smart cities’ and learning suited to developing countries
• Ubiquitous personalization and contextualization, glocalities,
identities (cultural effect and inclusion)
Any other topic meaningful to Smart City Learning
