Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------

During the last decade the promotion of news ways to teach and learn has 
been dramatically influenced by the use of ICT. The increased levels of 
flexibility and engagement provided by the intensive use of mobile and 
ubiquitous ICT, social media, virtual and augmented reality has fostered 
the adoption of new learning models in formal contexts. The impact of 
ICT in learning in informal contexts is also very relevant due to the 
increased presence of ICT in all aspects of our daily life. To better 
represent the influence of ICT in lifelong learning, and in line with 
authors such as Luciano Floridi, we may say that current ICT enable not 
just online learning but actually onlife learning.
The development of the Internet of Things (IoT), or the Internet of 
Everything, is paving the way to new generations of learning 
applications and services, due to the expected increase in the capacity 
of interaction IoT will provide. An intensively technologically mediated 
territory increases the learning possibilities with strong potential 
impact both in formal and informal contexts. This infrastructural 
backbone supports the vision on Smart Cities by influencing and 
improving key factors like mobility, environment, people, quality of 
life and governance. In Smart Cities, learning is not only a way to 
train an adequate human capital, but becomes one of the driving forces 
of the “smartness” and well being of a community. Unavoidably the 
underlying and ubiquitous techno-ecosystems - whose embedded 
intelligence, sensitivity and responsiveness surround the individuals - 
challenge the future of learning and call for a redefinition of spaces, 
contents, processes, skills and assessment approaches.
The special issue of IxD&A aims at sharing research papers discussing 
innovative opportunities and challenges on Smart City Learning. 
Exploratory, case study and prototype evaluation papers are welcome.
The workshop and the special issue are supported by the Association for 
Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development (ASLERD)
http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/sclo/index.php?s=219
established to influence the development of this area from an 
international perspective. The special issue is however open to anybody 
interested.
