How to Study Smart: 20 Scientific Ways to Learn Faster

Updated on May 11, 2023 By Daniel Wong 289 Comments

To improve your grades, you can either spend more time studying, or you can learn to study smart.

That’s how many hours there are in a week.

If you’re a student, you probably feel like this isn’t enough.

After all, you have so many assignments to do, projects to work on, and tests to study for.

Plus, you have other activities and commitments.

And you want to have a social life too.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could study smarter ( not harder), get good grades, and lead a balanced life ?

Of course it would. That’s why I wrote this article.

The main aim of education isn’t to get straight A’s. But learning how to learn is a crucial life skill.

So I spent hours scouring scientific articles and research journals to find the best ways to learn more effectively.

I’m a lifelong top student myself, and I’ve since completed my formal education. Over the course of my academic career, I’ve used almost all the smart studying tips outlined in this article, so I can verify that they work.

Let’s get started. Here are 20 scientific ways to learn faster.

Enter your email below to download a PDF summary of this article. The PDF contains all the tips found here, plus  3 exclusive bonus tips that you’ll only find in the PDF.

How to study smarter and more efficiently.

Studying smart essentially means learning how to learn.

This includes how to learn faster and more efficiently, while retaining information for longer.

1. Learn the same information in a variety of ways.

The research (Willis, J. 2008) shows that different media stimulate different parts of the brain. The more areas of the brain that are activated, the more likely it is that you’ll understand and retain the information. [1]

So to learn a specific topic, you could do the following:

• Read the class notes
• Read the textbook
• Watch a Khan Academy video
• Look up other online resources
• Create a mind map
• Teach someone what you’ve learned
• Do practice problems from a variety of sources

Of course, you won’t be able to do all of these things in one sitting. But each time you review the topic, use a different resource or method – you’ll learn faster this way.

2. Study multiple subjects each day, rather than focusing on just one or two subjects.

It’s more effective to study multiple subjects each day to help you stay focused , than to deep-dive into one or two subjects (Rohrer, D. 2012). [2]

For example, if you’re preparing for exams in math, history, physics, and chemistry, it’s better to study a bit of each subject every day. This approach will help you to learn faster than by focusing on just math on Monday, history on Tuesday, physics on Wednesday, chemistry on Thursday, and so on.

Because you’re likely to confuse similar information if you study a lot of the same subject in one day.

So as a tip to learn faster , spread out your study time for each subject. In so doing, your brain will have more time to consolidate your learning.

3. Review the information periodically, instead of cramming.

Periodic review is essential if you want to move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. This will help you get better exam grades.

As the research (Cepeda, N. 2008) shows, periodic review beats cramming hands-down. [3]

The optimal review interval varies, depending on how long you want to retain the information. But experience – both my own and through working with students – tells me that the following review intervals work well (I explain the entire periodic review system in this article ):

• 1st review: 1 day after learning the new information
• 2nd review: 3 days after the 1st review
• 3rd review: 7 days after the 2nd review
• 4th review: 21 days after the 3rd review
• 5th review: 30 days after the 4th review
• 6th review: 45 days after the 5th review
• 7th review: 60 days after the 6th review

4. Sit at the front of the class.

If you get to choose where you sit during class, grab a seat at the front. Studies show that students who sit at the front tend to get higher exam scores (Rennels & Chaudhari, 1988). The average scores of students, depending on where they sat in class, are as follows (Giles, 1982):

• Front rows: 80%
• Middle rows: 71.6%
• Back rows: 68.1%

These findings were obtained under conditions where the seating positions were teacher-assigned. [4] This means it’s not just a case of the more motivated students choosing to sit at the front, and the less motivated students choosing to sit at the back.

By sitting at the front, you’ll be able to see the board and hear the teacher more clearly, and your concentration will improve too.

Now you know where the best seats in class are!

5. Don’t multitask.

The data is conclusive: Multitasking makes you less productive, more distracted, and dumber. [5] [6] [7] The studies even show that people who claim to be good at multitasking aren’t actually better at it than the average person.

Effective students focus on just one thing at a time. So don’t try to study while also intermittently replying to text messages, watching TV, and checking your Twitter feed.

Here are some suggestions for how to study smart by improving your concentration:

• Turn off notifications on your phone
• Put your phone away, or turn it to airplane mode
• Log out of all instant messaging programs
• Turn off the Internet access on your computer
• Use an app like Freedom
• Close all of your Internet browser windows that aren’t related to the assignment you’re working on
• Clear the clutter from your study area

6. Simplify, summarize, and compress the information.

Use mnemonic devices like acronyms, as these are proven to increase learning efficiency. [8]

If you want to memorize the electromagnetic spectrum in order of increasing frequency, you could use this acronym/sentence:

R aging M artians I nvaded V enus U sing X -ray G uns

(In order of increasing frequency, the electromagnetic spectrum is: R adio, M icrowave, I nfrared, V isible, U ltraviolet, X -rays, G amma rays.)

Question: Stalactites and stalagmites – which ones grow from the top of the cave and which ones grow from the ground?

Answer: Stalac t ites grow from the t op, while stala g mites grow from the g round.

Study smart by using mnemonic devices whenever possible. In addition, you could summarize the information into a comparison table, diagram, or mind map. [9] These tools will help you learn the information much faster.

7. Take notes by hand, instead of using your laptop.

If you want to learn how to study efficiently, write your notes by hand.

Scientists recommend this, and not just because you’re more likely to give in to online distractions when using your laptop. Even when laptops are used only for note-taking, learning is less effective (Mueller, P. 2013). [10]

Because students who take notes by hand tend to process and reframe the information.

In contrast, laptop note-takers tend to write down what the teacher says word-for-word, without first processing the information.

As such, students who take notes by hand perform better in tests and exams .

Using an efficient note-taking strategy will reduce the amount of time you need to invest to achieve the same (or better) result.

8. Write down your worries.

Will I do well on this exam?

What if I forget the key concepts and equations?

What if the exam is harder than expected?

These kinds of thoughts probably run through your head before you take an exam. But if these thoughts run wild, the accompanying anxiety can affect your grades.

Here’s the solution …

In one experiment, [11] researchers at the University of Chicago discovered that students who wrote about their feelings about an upcoming exam for 10 minutes performed better than students who didn’t. The researchers say that this technique is especially effective for habitual worriers.

Psychologist Kitty Klein has also shown that expressive writing, in the form of journaling, improves memory and learning . [12] Klein explains that such writing allows students to express their negative feelings, which helps them to be less distracted by these feelings.

To be less anxious, take 10 minutes and write down all the things related to the upcoming exam that you’re worried about . As a result of this simple exercise, you’ll get better grades.

9. Test yourself frequently.

Decades of research has shown that self-testing is crucial if you want to improve your academic performance. [13]

In one experiment, University of Louisville psychologist Keith Lyle taught the same statistics course to two groups of undergraduates.

For the first group, Lyle asked the students to complete a four- to six-question quiz at the end of each lecture. The quiz was based on material he’d just covered.

For the second group, Lyle didn’t give the students any quizzes.

At the end of the course, Lyle discovered that the first group significantly outperformed the second on all four midterm exams.

So don’t just passively read your textbook or your class notes. Study smart by quizzing yourself on the key concepts and equations.

The Feynman technique is particularly effective in understanding concepts and memorizing them long-term. And as you prepare for a test, do as many practice questions as you can from different sources.

10. Connect what you’re learning with something you already know.

Study faster by connecting new concepts with the knowledge you already have.

In their book, Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning , scientists Henry Roediger III and Mark A. McDaniel explain that the more strongly you relate new concepts to concepts you already understand, the faster you’ll learn the new information. [14]

For example, if you’re learning about electricity, you could relate it to the flow of water. Voltage is akin to water pressure, current is akin to the flow rate of water, a battery is akin to a pump, and so on.

Another example: You can think of white blood cells as “soldiers” that defend our body against diseases, which are the “enemies.”

It takes time and effort to think about how to connect new information to what you already know, but the investment is worth it.

11. Read key information out loud.

Studies have been conducted, which demonstrate that reading information out loud helps students to learn faster than by reading silently (MacLeod CM, 2010 & Ozubko JD, 2010). [15] [16]

What’s the reason for this?

When you read information out loud, you both see and hear it. On the other hand, when you read information silently, you only see it.

It isn’t practical to read every single word of every single set of notes out loud. That would take way too much time.

So here’s the process I recommend to study faster by reading aloud:

Step 1 : As you read your notes, underline the key concepts/equations. Don’t stop to memorize these key concepts/equations; underline them and move on.

Step 2 : After you’ve completed Step 1 for the entire set of notes, go back to the underlined parts and read each key concept/equation out loud as many times as you deem necessary. Read each concept/equation slowly.

Step 3 : After you’ve done this for each of the underlined key concepts/equations, take a three-minute break.

Step 4 : When your three-minute break is over, go to each underlined concept/equation one at a time, and cover it (either with your hand or a piece of paper). Test yourself to see if you’ve actually memorized it.

Step 5 : For the concepts/equations that you haven’t successfully memorized, repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4.

12. Take regular study breaks.

Taking regular study breaks enhances overall productivity and improves focus (Ariga & Lleras, 2011). [17]

That’s why it isn’t a good idea to hole yourself up in your room for six hours straight to study for an exam.

You might feel like you get a lot done this way, but the research proves that breaks help you to study faster in the long run. So take a 5- to 10-minute break for every 40 minutes of work.

I recommend that you use a timer or stopwatch to remind you when to take a break and when to get back to studying.

During your break, refrain from using your phone or computer, because these devices prevent your mind from fully relaxing.

13. Reward yourself at the end of each study session.

Before starting a study session, set a specific reward for completing the session. By doing this, you’ll promote memory formation and learning (Adcock RA, 2006). [18]

The reward could be something as simple as:

• Going for a short walk
• Eating a healthy snack
• Listening to your favorite music
• Doing a couple of sets of exercise
• Playing a musical instrument
• Taking a shower

Reward yourself at the end of every session – you’ll study smarter and learn faster.

14. Focus on the process, not the outcome.

Students who succeed in school concentrate on learning the information, not on trying to get a certain grade.

Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck’s research shows that these students: [19]

• Focus on effort, not the end result
• Focus on the process, not on achievement
• Believe they can improve – even in their weak subjects – as long as they put in the time and hard work
• Embrace challenges
• Define success as pushing themselves to learn something new, not as getting straight A’s

Not-so-successful students tend to set performance goals , while successful students tend to set learning goals. [20]

What’s the difference between these two types of goals?

Performance goals (e.g. getting 90% on the next math test, getting into a top-ranked school) are about looking intelligent and proving yourself to others.

In contrast, learning goals (e.g. doing three algebra problems every other day, learning five new French words a day) are about mastery and growth.

Most schools emphasize the importance of getting a certain exam score or passing a certain number of subjects. Ironically, if you want to meet – and surpass – these standards, you’d be better off ignoring the desired outcome and concentrating on the learning process instead.

15. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

You probably think you drink enough water, but studies show that up to 75% of people are in a chronic state of dehydration. [21 ]

Dehydration is bad for your brain – and your exam grades too.

University of East London researchers have found that your brain’s overall mental processing power decreases when you’re dehydrated (Edmonds, C. 2013). [22] Further research has shown that dehydration even causes the grey matter in your brain to shrink. [23]

The simple solution?

Drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Bring a water bottle wherever you go, and drink water before you start to feel thirsty.

And if you’re taking an exam, bring a water bottle with you. Every 40 minutes or so, drink some water. This will help you stay hydrated and improve your exam performance. Plus, this also acts as a short break to refresh your mind.

16. Exercise at least three times a week.

Exercise is good for your body. It’s also very good for your brain.

Various studies have shown that exercise …

• Improves your memory [24]
• Improves your brain function [25] [26]
• Reduces the occurrence of depression
• Helps to prevent diseases like diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis
• Enhances your sleep quality
• Reduces stress
• Improves your mood [27]

Exercise is quite the miracle drug!

So to study smarter, exercise at least three times a week for 30 to 45 minutes each time. You’ll be healthier and more energetic, and you’ll remember information better too.

17. Sleep at least eight hours a night, and don’t pull all-nighters.

When considering how to study efficiently, don’t neglect sleep.

I’ve spoken to and worked with 20,000 students so far. Not a  single one has told me that he or she consistently gets eight hours of sleep a night.

“There’s just so much to do,” I hear students say, again and again. As a student, sleep often seems more like a luxury than a necessity.

But what does the research have to say about sleep?

The research shows that if you get enough sleep, you’ll be more focused, you’ll learn faster, [28] and your memory will improve. [29] You’ll also deal with stress more effectively. [30]

This is a recipe for excellent grades.

So sleep at least eight hours a night. This way, you will have more productive study sessions and you won’t need to spend as much time hitting the books.

In addition, sleep expert Dan Taylor says that learning the most difficult material immediately before going to bed makes it easier to recall the next day. [31] So whenever possible, arrange your schedule such that you study the hardest topic right before you sleep.

Lastly, don’t pull all-nighters. As psychologist Pamela Thacher’s research shows, students who pull all-nighters get lower grades and make more careless mistakes. [32]

18. Eat blueberries.

Blueberries are rich in flavonoids, which strengthen connections in the brain and stimulate the regeneration of brain cells.

Researchers at the University of Reading have found that eating blueberries improves both short-term and long-term memory (Whyte, A. & Williams, C. 2014). [33] [34] Blueberries may also help to prevent degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

19. Eat chicken and eggs.

A team of researchers from Boston University conducted a long-term study on 1,400 adults over 10 years. They found that participants who had diets high in choline performed better on memory tests. [35]

Choline is the precursor to acetylcholine, which is essential for the formation of new memories.

What foods are high in choline?

Chicken and eggs (the egg yolk contains 90% of the total choline in the egg [36] ).

Just in case you’re worried about the high cholesterol content of egg yolks, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Recent studies show that eggs – including the yolk – are a healthy food for almost everyone. [37]

And if you’re a vegetarian, there are alternatives to getting choline in your diet:

• Sunflower seeds
• Pumpkin seeds
• Cauliflower

20. Eat omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for brain function. [38]   One experiment (Yehuda, S. 2005) also found that taking a combination of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids reduced test anxiety in students and improved their mental concentration. [39]

Omega-3 fatty acids are linked to the prevention of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, depression, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) , dementia, Alzheimer’s, asthma, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer. [40]

That’s an incredible list!

Here are foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids:

The bottom line on studying smart

This is a long article that contains a lot of information. But don’t feel overwhelmed, because there’s no need to implement everything at one shot.

As the saying goes…

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

In the same way, to implement all 20 tips in this article, do it one tip at a time. Focus on just one tip a week, or even one tip a month.

Once you’ve turned that tip into a consistent study habit , move on to the next one.

Throughout the process, don’t let the goal of getting straight A’s become an unhealthy obsession. After all, education is about more than getting good grades.

It’s about the pursuit of excellence. It’s about cultivating your strengths. And it’s about learning and growing, so you can contribute more effectively.

There’s hard work involved, but I know you’re up to the challenge. 🙂

Hello daniel, can you please give some tips on how to get better with practical lessons ie, iam a student of commercial cooking, my theory marks are 99/100 but practical mark was 85/100.. how to improve on cooking skills that trainers teach?

January 21, 2020 at 7:13 pm

What!? So 85 is low or you kidding! Focus on learning process than outcomes

April 3, 2020 at 10:48 am

Daniel, thank you so much. This really helps. God bless you

May 3, 2020 at 10:27 pm

If you re-take a look at point 10 I think it might help you out.

December 19, 2022 at 6:45 pm

Hi there. this is something i do to improve practical marks. Like of course practice makes perfection but you know you can make short notes and put them in a list like format. that way you will remember what to do more easily. plus start connecting what u learnt about that certain practical in theory in your own way and not how the book or teacher essentially instructs you to connect. hope it helps you a bit 🙂

August 16, 2023 at 2:14 am

Thanks Daniel and God grant you all your help

August 5, 2020 at 5:28 pm

STAY FOCUSED AND CONSISTENT AND JOIN A COACHING CLASS OR ONLINE PLATFORM IF YOU FEEL YOU’RE STUCK . MOST OF THE CIVIL SERVANTS FACE SIMILAR PROBLEMS.KEEP AWAY YOUR DISTRACTIONS AND YOUR DREAM WILL SURELY COME TRUE .

October 8, 2020 at 10:27 pm

Focus on the learning process, not the result. And don’t forget to stay calm and hydrated.

Im a student.But sleeping for 8 hours a day is nearly imposibble .I sleep for 5 hours only (max)

August 18, 2015 at 5:21 pm

Hi Alexa, I used to be like that too. But as I started using the techniques in this article (and many others that I wasn’t able to cover), I actually managed to sleep 8 hours a night — and I still managed to complete a double major in university with good results. So I encourage you that it really is possible if you make sleep a priority.

August 19, 2015 at 12:39 am

Thanks so much for the information Daniel. I’m a student and I find this very helpful thanks so much!

Also, I find it difficult to concentrate after taking lunch or dinner due to the drowsiness, so how to tackle it? THANKS ONCE AGAIN EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY.

December 14, 2018 at 12:14 am

I’m an adult doing a home study course for Master Herbalist. I seek out information every day of my life and I love learning. But what really exacerbates me is how I tend to lose the details sometimes. I want to know how to retain the highest amount of information that I can. I read a lot of stuff and sometimes I feel like it’s a waste if I can’t retain all or at least most of it. Sometimes information really sticks with me and once I’ve read it once, I know I’ll remember it forever. Other times I’ll forget key details. I found your article in my pursuit o try to figure out how to retain it all!

I agree about the mnemonic devices, what a powerful way to remember! I actually remembered stalactite and stalagmite that way from way back in middle school (the ‘c’ in stalactite was for ‘ceiling’ in my case, and the ‘g’ in stalagmite for ‘ground’ as well..). If there were just such clear cut ways to do this in everything we attempt to learn!

December 14, 2018 at 11:44 pm

Thanks for this write up, I am really struggling academically and I am sure your tips will put me through.

December 15, 2018 at 4:56 pm

December 27, 2018 at 7:48 pm

Daniel, I found this article extremely helpful. I’m doing search on ways to learn faster. The fact that I haven’t been meeting my expectations in college bewilders me . Especially considering the fact that I have put in the necessary work needed. From reading this article, I realized that I have been doing a lot of things wrong. Especially the little things. It’s often easy to forget that the little things are those that matters the most. Thanks for this article. I hope other find it as useful as I have come to.

January 12, 2019 at 12:19 am

After reading this article i’ve realized how many and which things i was doing wrong,i will try to put some of the tips into practice. As for me the main enemy is procrastination.I try to fight it so hard,all the time,but usually i lose that battle,mainly the reason is having a job apart from studying ,that takes away alotta time that i could dedicate to studying.Sometimes i seek for assistance from online tutoring,like this https://homework-lab.com/ , when i’m totally out of time. I guess i already got used to work in squezzed time frames. Thanks for the article!

January 28, 2019 at 8:11 pm

Hi Daniel. This article is fantastic and I’ve learnt many useful tips. I’m a first year Biomedical Science Student and I work part time and also workout. My days are usually packed and I feel as if I don’t have organised times to be able to cover all the week’s content and I find myself falling behind easily. I was wondering if you had any advice on how I could organise my time for both revisiting old content, learning new content and writing my own notes (this takes ages and I become very mentally passive). Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Smart Education Strategies for Teaching and Learning: Critical analytical framework and case studies

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have led to the reconsideration of global public policies. In this regard, the creation of universal frameworks has mobilized networks of powerful public, private, and civil society players to scaffold a global agenda on ICT in Education (ICTE), which often combines contradictory rights-based, social justice, and economic objectives. In addition, the shift towards the digitalization and smartization of education led to the necessity for the development of national public ICTE policies, which could encompass the unprecedented changes in teaching and learning. The analysis of policy texts and case studies gives a better understanding of this sector and helps to develop the tools necessary for the successful implementation of smart education.

In this context, UNESCO IITE, the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), and Beijing Normal University (BNU) combined expertise in the field and released the publication  Smart Education Strategies for Teaching and Learning: Critical analytical framework and case studies . This work was produced within the joint project of UNESCO IITE and BNU “Rethinking and Redesigning National Smart Education Strategy”.

The Publication comprises the following sections:

• An introduction that contains a description of the situation in the field of smart education and the use of digital technologies in teaching and learning.
• Methodology defining the main approaches to the research and formulating the criteria for case analysis as well as the conceptual framework.
• Analysis of 10 selected national and related supranational policy texts on ICTE and smart education policy (China, Egypt, India, Mauritius, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, the UK, and the USA) and 15 case studies of selected policy-informed implementation projects.
• Conclusions summarizing objectives, the analysis of cases, policy and strategy influences, and a framework for smart education policy development and monitoring of its implementation.

The manuscript highlights similarities and convergences in policy and strategy influences, contexts, and policy discourses as reflected in policy texts and policy-informed practices, amid divergent socio-economic, demographic, political, and cultural settings. Additionally, it presents an overview and analysis of the national smart education policies and related case study projects in ten countries. Finally, this document presents a template for consideration in the development of smart education policy text and provides guidelines to monitor ICTE and smart education policy implementation for stakeholders.

The Report is available in English.

Metrics details

Advances in information technologies present opportunities for novel approaches, methods, and tools for new or improved education and training practices. Furthermore, these technologies are enabling a shift in the education paradigm. Based on an investigation of a wide range of information technologies supporting smart education, we developed a Smart Education Framework. The framework conceptually structures the information technologies in a layered architecture. We also developed a smart education design approach based on the framework. Furthermore, we show how to use the framework and design approach to develop a specific course or lecture design. To validate the smart education framework, we examined smart education systems reported in the literature. To identify smart education systems, we conducted a systematic literature search. The literature search results show that the smart education framework has the ability to describe smart education systems. This study contributes to the current literature with a smart education framework. The smart education framework will guide future smart education system designs.

Introduction

Recent advances in information technologies are affecting our education and training approaches, methods, practices, and tools (Kaufmann, 2003 ; Palloff & Pratt, 2002 ; Shoikova et al., 2017 ; Zhu et al., 2016a , 2016b ). Increasing internet speeds and storage areas together with the advances in cloud computing technologies, making the information available to everybody, from everywhere, at all times. Traditional training and education methodologies, in which the instructor explains the subject in the classroom and the students complete the exercises at home, are replaced by new learning approaches such as distant learning, mobile learning (m-learning), personalized learning, flipped and blended learning, social collaborative learning, game-based learning, etc. (Erkollar & Oberer, 2016 ; Güzer & Caner, 2014 ; Knight & Wood, 2005 ; Lage et al., 2000 ; Oberer, 2016 ; Prince, 2004 ; Rakow, 2007 ; Strayer, 2012 ). Information and communication technologies are creating the potential for more self-paced, interactive, and personalized learning. As new information technologies are introduced, we are moving from traditional education towards smart education (Bajaj & Sharma, 2018 ; Zhu et al., 2016b ).

The students in the twenty-first century are different than the students of the past. Oblinger and Oblinger ( 2005 ) identify the generation born after 1982 as net generation or “Millennials”. Unlike many prior generations, this generation grew up with technology. Some of the characteristics of college-aged millennials are listed in Table 1 .

Technology has significant impacts on society. Furthermore, technology is changing faster than ever. Technological innovations impact our children as well. As their characteristics indicate that millennials are quite different than non-millennials. The instructors dealing with millennials have to be aware of these characteristics. The current learning environments have to be redesigned based on the strengths and weaknesses of these students. We need learning environments that are more suitable for the current and following generations. The smart education vision should help to achieve this requirement and overcome the shortcomings of the current education methods and systems. To realize the smart education vision, we need to develop new or improved teaching and learning techniques along with a coherently designed set of educational information and communication technologies. Smart education frameworks are essential for smart education implementations. In this work, we developed such a smart education framework. This framework has a layered structure. New or improved teaching methods are at the core layer. We categorize educational information and communication technologies into three categories. These are essential/transforming technologies, enriching technologies, and supportive technologies. These categories form the layers of the smart education framework. In the following sections, we explain the framework and how the framework is used for smart education designs. We also provide two examples of smart education designs. To validate the framework, we conducted a systematic literature review investigating smart education system (SES) implementations and proposals. Our analysis shows that the smart education framework has the capability to describe all identified SESs as the result of the literature search.

In “ Smart education ” section, we discuss the concept of smart education. Next, we list trending educational technologies enabling smart education. In “ Smart education framework ” section, we present a smart education framework that conceptually structures the technologies in a layered architecture. “ Smart education design ” section describes a smart education design approach with examples. In “ Validate the framework ” section, we present the findings of our systematic literature search to validate the framework. Finally, we present discussions and conclusions.

• Smart education

We define smart education as the “effective and coherent use of information and communication technologies to reach a learning outcome using a suitable pedagogical approach”. An earlier definition provided by Zhu and He ( 2012 ) is that “the essence of smarter education is to create intelligent environments by using smart technologies, so that smart pedagogies can be facilitated as to provide personalized learning services and empower learners to develop talents of wisdom that have better value orientation, higher thinking quality, and stronger conduct ability”. Another definition of smart education is “the concept of learning in the digital age” (Zhu et al., 2016b ). According to Bajaj and Sharma ( 2018 ), smart education is “about providing personalized learning, anywhere and anytime. Moreover, they state that smart education is about taking learning outside the traditional classrooms; and is an activity that can be done anywhere and anytime”. Jang defines smart education as “an educational system that allows students to learn by using up-to-date technology and it enables students to study with various materials based on their aptitudes and intellectual levels” (Jang, 2014 ). Smart learning environments, sometimes used to refer to smart education, “represent a new wave of educational systems, involving an effective and efficient interplay of pedagogy, technology and their fusion towards the betterment of learning processes” (Shoikova et al., 2017 ). Notice that smart education is not just about technology. It is also about new teaching and learning approaches.

Several countries started smart education initiatives or programs as listed in Table 2 . A holistic concept of smart education in Korea includes Self-directed, Adaptive, Motivated, Resource-Free, Technology embedded education (Kim et al., 2013 ). Standards are also essential for the development of smart education since it heavily relies on information and communication technologies (Hoel & Mason, 2018 ). International Standards Organization (ISO) has a group (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36) to support the development of standards for “Information technology for learning, education, and training”. 40 standards were developed under the direct responsibility of the group and more standards are in development (International Standards Organization 2020 ). International associations such as the International Association of Smart Learning Environments are being formed to support the development of smart learning environments ( http://iasle.net/ ). Various telecommunications and information technology companies started to invest in the education business. Technology giants such as IBM ( 2009 ) and Samsung ( 2013 ) are developing information technology architectures and solutions for smart education systems.

Alimisis ( 2013 ) criticizes that “most uses of technologies in schools today do not support the 21st-century learning skills. In many cases, new technologies are simply reinforcing old ways of teaching and learning.” While smart education requires the use of information technologies, we believe smart education also encompasses a paradigm shift from traditional education and training practices to more advanced approaches and practices in line with the digital age. Therefore, new or improved learning and teaching approaches are among the essential elements of smart education. Our view of essential elements of smart education differs from the view of Zhu and his colleagues. Our view is presented in Fig.  1 .

Essential elements of smart education

The characteristics of the essential elements will not be the same as in traditional education. They will evolve as smart education evolves. We briefly list and discuss the characteristics of millennials, in other words, learners of the digital age, in the previous section. The evolving characteristics of other essential elements require a thorough investigation.

In a smart education environment, the learner should be autonomous and collaborative in addition to being an efficient technology user. Instructional design is important both in traditional education and smart education. Today, direct instruction is the predominant teaching method. However, in modern approaches, the facilitator role of the educator is becoming significant. One notable role of educators in smart education is technological support. The teachers/educators should also be able to provide technical support to students if needed. Note that just like learners, educators should be effective technology users. In a smart education environment, connectivity is an important distinguishing characteristic of the educational technology supporting education (Klopfer et al., 2002 ). In traditional face-to-face teaching, connectivity is often limited. Technologies such as web 2.0 provide enhanced connectivity between the learner and teacher. Ubiquity is as important as connectivity. Internet and mobile technologies provide ubiquitous access to information and knowledge. Ubiquitous educational technologies provide significant opportunities to geographically disadvantaged students. Various studies indicate that the learning process may vary depending on the learner (El Janati et al., 2018 ). Therefore, more effective learning can be achieved via personalized learning. Adaptive learning system research is gaining attention in recent years. According to the International Association of Smart Learning Environments, a smart learning environment can be considered “smart when it makes use of adaptive technologies or when it is designed to include innovative features and capabilities that improve understanding and performance.” Smart education also offers new opportunities for providing personalized education and training to people with disabilities (El Janati et al., 2018 ).

Enabling information technologies for smart education

Information technologies are advancing at unprecedented speeds. New technologies, devices, applications, tools, and most importantly new ways of thinking are being introduced every day. Naturally, most of these have effects on educational and training practices at different levels. Table 3 lists some of the main information technologies enabling smart education.

There will be other technologies that support smart education. There is abundant literature on these technologies. Discussing all these information technologies is the subject of a review paper rather than a research paper.

Related work

In this section, we discuss various existing smart education or learning frameworks. Furthermore, we compare these with each other.

Zhu and his colleagues developed a smart education framework (Zhu et al., 2016a ). The three essential elements in the smart education environment are learner presence, teaching presence, and technological presence (Zhu et al., 2016a ). Zhu and his colleagues’ smart education framework focuses on the elements of smart education. This framework is important in the sense that it highlights the elements, their characteristics, and their role in smart education.

Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) is an organization working within the Arab League consisting of 22 Arab countries (Jemni & Khribi, 2017 ). ALECSO coordinates and contributes to several projects and activities in the Arab region to promote education, culture, and science. ALECSO ICT Department proposed a framework for smart learning. This smart learning framework (Jemni & Khribi, 2017 ) has three key dimensions: open learning, mobile technology, and cloud computing. In each dimension, several projects are being developed. The ALECSO mobile initiative includes ALECSO Apps Store, ALECSO Apps Editor, ALECSO Apps Award, ALECSO Apps training programs. ALECSO with support from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Arab regional office aims at promoting cloud computing in the use of education. Therefore, they start the ALECSO Cloud Computing Project. ALECSO promotes Open Learning with several projects and initiatives. Open Learning effort includes Open Book Initiative, collaboration on regional and international Open Educational Resources (OER) activities, ALECSO OER project, ALECSO Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) Project. ALECSO’s smart learning framework is actually a combination of projects and activities to promote the use of ICT’s in the educational domain.

Bajaj and Sharma proposed a smart education framework stressing the importance of adaptive learning in smart education (Bajaj & Sharma, 2018 ). According to them, adaptivity is an essential need in today’s educational environment. The goal of adaptive educational systems is to customize the educational content and learning paths of students. They proposed a framework in which students interact with a virtual teacher on the cloud and based on various learning theories and using artificial intelligence technology, the system generates personalized content and learning paths. Bajaj and Sharma’s Smart Education Framework proposal has a technology view with a focus on adaptive learning.

The smart education framework developed within this study focuses on the role of various information and communication technologies in smart education. Furthermore, it stresses the importance of new or improved teaching and learning approaches. The framework highlights the need for a coherent combination of ICT technologies with appropriate teaching and learning approaches.

All these smart education or learning frameworks focus on different dimensions of smart education. Zhu and his colleagues’ smart education framework focuses on smart education elements. ALECSO’s smart learning framework focus on the use of open education resources in combination with mobile and computing technology with a number of projects. The smart education framework proposed in this study focus on the coherent design of educational technologies and with appropriate teaching and learning approaches. These frameworks complement each other. For example, Zhu and his colleagues’ framework provides a smart education essential elements view, ALECSO’s framework provides a project-based view, our framework provides a generic smart education design view. These frameworks are not competing with each other but they provide different perspectives. They focus on different aspects of smart education. As a result, these frameworks help develop and improve the concept of smart education. Furthermore, they provide the necessary conceptual infrastructure for smart education design and utilization.

Table 4 presents a comparison of smart education and learning frameworks.’

Based on an investigation of a wide range of information technologies supporting smart education, we developed a smart education framework as presented in Fig.  2 . The framework is constructed in a layered architecture. New or improved teaching methods are at the core of smart education. The outer layers support the core layer in the realization of smart education. The purpose of each layer is described.

a Smart education framework layers. b Smart education framework technologies

New or improved learning/teaching approaches (core layer)

In the 2018 US–China Smart Education Conference, one of the common themes was the structure of education is changing. These changes include “integrating new technologies, new pedagogical approaches, and new learning spaces and places” (Spector, 2018 ). We believe new or improved learning/teaching methods are at the essence of smart education. These new or improved teaching methods include approaches such as personalized learning, flipped learning, blended teaching, game-based learning, case-based learning, etc. The use of traditional teaching and learning approaches supported by information technologies will not be adequate for smart education. Consider the use of computers in education and training. Computers are among the most influential innovations of the century. However, they did not change the essence of teaching or improve education dramatically yet. Thus, merely having a particular information technology in an educational setting does not create a paradigm shift for education. As a result, new or improved teaching methods are at the center of smart education.

Essential/transforming technologies (second layer)

These technologies are essential for smart education and they transform traditional education into smart education combined with new or improved teaching methods. These technologies are learning management systems, smart/ambient intelligent classrooms, and virtual classrooms. Note that we combined smart classrooms with ambient intelligence since they are closely related. Smart classrooms embody the concept of ambient intelligence. Therefore, the terms “smart classrooms” and “ambient intelligent classrooms” may be considered synonyms. These technologies are required for the realization of smart classrooms. They form the necessary infrastructure for the inclusion of enriching and supporting information technologies.

In the figure, we draw a line between smart/ambient intelligent/virtual classrooms and learning management systems. This line also extends to the upper layer of enriching technologies. The line in the upper layer divides the technologies into two. One set of technologies consisting of learning analytics, educational data mining, e-books, and interactive books, and academic tubes enrich the learning management systems. The other set of technologies including virtual environments, augmented reality, educational robots, and serious games mainly enrich smart classrooms. With this line, we highlight the upper layer technologies supporting the essential technologies. However, we should keep in mind that technologies are influenced by other technologies, and we cannot draw strict lines between areas. For example, while serious games enrich smart classrooms, they may also be incorporated into learning management systems. Therefore, this line between the layers should be thought of as a guideline indicating which technologies influence which others mainly.

Enriching technologies (third layer)

The technologies in this layer are the technologies enriching the smart education experience. Incorporating some or all of these technologies into smart education increases the teaching and learning experience. We believe that not all technologies are required for the implementation of smart education in a specific subject or type of education. Depending on the education and training goals, we may employ various technologies in combination and use suitable ones. That is the reason we call this layer as enriching technologies.

Supporting technologies (fourth layer)

These information technologies are used for many other purposes in addition to education. We may simply call these general-purpose technologies. Therefore, these technologies support the technologies in the below layers.

The layers in smart education are conceptual layers based on their supporting role in the implementation of smart education. The smart education framework does not necessarily show the hierarchy of technology dependence.

This smart education framework is generic. With this framework, we may develop customized frameworks for a specific education goal or subject. For example, we may develop a framework for history teaching. This customized framework may include some of the technologies included in the smart education framework.

The technologies in the smart education framework are not and cannot be exhaustive. New technologies are developed every day. We also find educational use for a specific technology as well. Furthermore, it is hard to draw a boundary line for technology. For example, we did not include holograms as a supporting technology for smart education. The technology for creating holograms is a promising technology that may find extensive use in education. The hologram technology is still quite immature. Also, we may consider holograms as a part of virtual or augmented reality technology.

• Smart education design

We developed a smart education design approach as outlined in Fig.  3 . First, we set the objectives for education and training activities. These objectives may be set at different levels such as course objectives or a lecture objective. Then, we choose a suitable pedagogical approach to achieve the objectives. Using the smart education framework, we identify the necessary enriching and supporting technologies. Note that the framework also includes essential and transforming technologies. Since these are essential technologies, they are already a part of our design. These essential technologies form the necessary infrastructure for enriching and supporting technologies. Then, we design a smart education that will help us achieve the education/training objectives. Naturally, the next step is to perform the education/training activity. During and after the activity, we collect data to understand the learning effectiveness. Based on the data, we evaluate the smart education design and course/training effectiveness. Our evaluation may shed light on the areas we may need to revise or improve. Therefore, there are feedback loops in the smart education design approach.

Smart education design steps

Using the smart education design steps and the framework, we may develop smart education implementations for teaching various subjects. Figures  4 and 5 show examples as a result of this process. Next, we detail how the smart education design approach is used to develop various courses/lectures. Note that the examples are developed to show how smart education is designed. Smart education design is likely to require several iterations until it is fully developed to the point that it is effective. Therefore, these examples should be considered as starting points or preliminary designs.

Smart education design for teaching a history course

Smart education design for teaching an algebra course

Smart education design example for teaching roman empire era in a history course

Determine education/training objectives.

Learn the Roman Empire Era.

Learn why the Roman Empire became one of the most influential empires in world history.

Learn to analyze an era from different points of view based on personal interests.

Determine the pedagogical approach

We decide to use a personalized learning approach. Rather than trying to teach all the aspects of the Roman Empire in detail, we will let the students focus on the aspects they are interested in.

Analyze existing smart education system and technologies utilized

It is also possible that the institution may already have an existing system. When the educational institution would like to improve the existing system, then there is a need to analyze the existing system and the technologies utilized. The analysis will reveal the current effectiveness of the system, its shortcomings, and the required improvements. Based on the analysis results, the smart education system may be modified, upgraded, or redesigned to reach the required education effectiveness. Current system components may be replaced with better alternatives or improved with technological advancements. For the sake of the argument, in this current example, we assumed that the institution acquires a smart education system from scratch. This step applies to institutions that are already using a smart education system and want to improve the system.

Identify required enriching and supporting technologies

Learning management systems and smart classrooms are considered essential technologies. They are parts of our design. We want to use visual learning aids during the lecture. Thus, we will use a video showing the Roman Empire Era from the academic tube that provides educational videos. The academic tube is hosted in the cloud. Furthermore, we want to show our students a virtual world of the Roman Empire. This virtual world includes parts showing Roman government structure, military structure, justice structure, trading practices, daily life, etc. Therefore, we want to use virtual reality technology. The students may choose to focus on various aspects of the Roman Empire based on their interests. The virtual world allows students to navigate various parts of the Roman Empire Era. Furthermore, we want our students to be analytical in their investigations regarding historical subjects. Therefore, we want them to write a blog based on their analysis of the Roman Empire. A blog is a part of Web 2.0 technologies. The students access their blogs through the learning management system. Also, other students can view and comment on each other’s blogs. The teacher follows the students’ learning progress via their analysis and discussions on the blogs. The teacher may also lead and support various discussions using the learning management system.

Design smart education

Once we identified the required technologies, we design our smart education. Figure  4 shows this design. The bottom box displays the learning approach. The other boxes show the technologies and the related systems and the arrows indicate the conceptual interactions. Identifying the required technologies and designing smart education are iterative processes. Until we are satisfied with the design, we iterate these two steps.

In this step, we conduct an educational or training activity.

Collect learning data

One of the important tasks during the first step is to identify the types of learning data to be collected during the activity. Based on this identification, we collect learning data using the learning management system. We may also get feedback from the students on the effectiveness of the educational activity.

The goals of the Roman Empire History include learning the Roman Empire Era, why the Roman Empire became one of the most influential empires in world history and analyzing the era from different points of view based on personal interests. When the instructor of the course would like to assess whether the learning outcomes are reached or not, he or she may assign quizzes to students using the learning management system. The system assesses the results of the quizzes and with the help of the learning analytics module, the system recommends students review various educational content using the academic tube or interactive books. Furthermore, the learning analytics module analyzes the students’ blogs to provide analyses on the engagement of students, their learning interests, how many times they write to their blogs, which students are more active, how the students interact with each other, etc. This depends on the capabilities of the learning analytics module.

Evaluate design effectiveness

We evaluate the effectiveness of our smart education design based on our experience during the activity and student feedbacks. In this step, we may also go back to previous steps and revise or improve our educational design.

Evaluate course effectiveness

This is also an evaluation step. In the previous step, we evaluate the design. In this step, we evaluate whether we are successful in achieving our educational goals. Based on the evaluation, we may repeat the process from the start.

One key aspect of our smart education design approach is the continuous improvement loop. We should always seek ways to improve our educational design. The fast-changing technologies necessitate such an improvement loop.

Smart education design example for teaching algebra

In this example, we briefly explain how we may design an algebra course using a smart education design approach. We will not go into the details as we did in the previous example. Since some portions of the process are the same. Figure  5 shows the smart education design example for the algebra course.

In this example, our educational goal is to teach algebra in line with the student’s progress in learning the subjects. Therefore, we choose adaptive and personalized learning as our main pedagogical approach. We use an interactive book that can be downloaded from the learning management system to the student’s mobile tablet. The student’s tablet is connected to the learning management system via the smart classroom network infrastructure. The student starts solving algebraic problems, such as functions, following the course syllabus. The learning analytics software module, a part of the learning management system, analyzes whether the student can solve the problem or not, the student’s problem-solving technique, the time spent on solving the problem, etc. The learning analytics software module profiles the student’s algebraic problem-solving ability and capability. Then, using educational data mining technology, the learning management system downloads the most suitable problem set and order of problems for the student. This problem set and order is identified and optimized by analyzing a great number of students’ algebraic problem-solving history. The educational data mining application is hosted on the educational cloud. Based on the real-time analysis of a student’s problem-solving activity, the system may recommend using the augmented reality system that is loaded with software to help the student understand the problem visually. Note that augmented reality technology is enriching. If we do not have the necessary equipment or the software for the augmented reality system, we may show the student an educational video from the academic tube that is presented on the student’s mobile tablet. All this learning activity is monitored with the learning analytics software module. The course teacher helps the students whenever needed. It is possible to argue that the teacher’s role is minimized in this smart education design. While it may seem so, we believe the teachers will continue to play a significant role. First of all, this is a complex design requiring several technologies to work in harmony. We may encounter IT-related problems during the course. For example, if the internet connection is lost, then we may not able to download the adaptive problem set from the cloud. Then, the teacher will be the source of the adaptive problem set. Furthermore, there may be some students who learn better with one-to-one human communication. Depending on the availability, accessibility, and effectiveness of the technologies, we may develop other smart education designs. The development of educational design alternatives, course management, and implementation, and on-site observation of the learning activity requires teachers. These and other issues will necessitate the presence of a human teacher at least in the near- and mid-term.

Validation of the framework

To validate the smart education framework, we investigated the smart education systems (SESs) reported in the literature. For this purpose, we conducted a systematic literature search on the SCOPUS database with the keyword “smart education”. The search yielded 353 results. The search was conducted on the title, keywords, and abstracts. The results included book chapters, journal articles, conference proceedings, and some other types of publications. The literature search data is presented in Table 5 . Each abstract of the reported study is read and analyzed. After analysis, each study describing a smart education system is carefully investigated. For each SES, the education/learning/teaching method and the information and communication technologies (ICTs) used are identified and mapped to the framework layers and components. An overview of the systematic literature search procedure is presented in Fig.  6 .

The procedure of the systematic literature search on smart education systems

In the literature, there are various proposals or implementations referred to as smart education systems. However, in some of these studies, the systems referred to as SESs only provide a specific learning function using various ICTs. For example, one such system (Kobayashi et al., 2017 ) provides the learner with multi-aspect information collected from various Internet resources, such as Wikibooks, Youtube, Twitter, search engines, based on the selected keywords. Essentially, the system is a smart multi-aspect educational content collector. There are also various studies focusing on computerengineering-related issues rather than educational issues. For example, Shapsough and Zualkernan ( 2020 ) developed an IoT-based system for ubiquitous context-aware learning. In the study, they discussed the Internet of Things (IoT) system architecture, suitable networking protocols, and networking performance of an example implementation. They did not focus on how the proposed system contributes to education. Therefore, in our literature search, the SESs selected are the studies focusing on how the proposed system contributes to education rather than studies only discussing IT-related issues or one limited aspect of smart education.

During the screening phase of the literature search, we identified that half of the studies only use the “smart education” phrase for enriching the argument of their study. These studies mostly focus on achieving smartness in the context of Industry 4.0, smart cities, or smart campuses. Smart campus-related studies mostly discuss issues other than education such as incorporating biometrics to increase security on the campus etc. One-third of the studies focus on the organizational, economic, or social issues of smart education. Among the rest, several abstracts are related to the contents of conference proceedings including smart education studies. Therefore, only a handful of studies focus on the development of smart education systems or the use of particular information technology in the educational context. As a result, even though we aimed at including as many studies as possible for analysis, there were only 12 systems that can be classified as smart education systems comprising a coherent use of pedagogical approaches and ITs. The studies focusing on only one aspect of smart education mostly discussed learning analytics and personalized learning. Note that our goal is not a systematic review of smart education, but to identify SESs among these studies. Therefore, we only investigate and report the SES-related studies. Tables 6 and 7 present the identified Smart Education Systems as a result of this systematic literature search.

There are several findings when SESs included in our analysis are examined. The first finding is that the smart education framework is able to describe the smart education systems developed or proposed in the literature. All the systems listed in Table 2 have an important characteristic: These systems are developed based on a specific (or a specific set of) teaching or learning approaches. Personalized, Individualized, Adaptive, Interactive, Ubiquitous, Collaborative, Flipped, Blended, Case-based, and Challenge-based learning are the learning approaches that form the basis for the smart education systems listed in Table 2 . Note that, in our framework, the learning and teaching approach is the core layer. The identified SESs include at least one type of IT from each layer in the smart education framework. So, we can say that the layered architecture of the smart education framework is a suitable approach for designing SESs. Another finding is that almost all of the SESs utilize a type of software providing certain functionalities of learning management systems. Basically, there is software that brings ICT components together and manages the learning/teaching-related tasks and other types of tasks in the system. Three of the SESs specifically state the use of smart classrooms. However, for others, we cannot be sure about the educational environment since in those studies the educational environment is not specifically spelled out. Furthermore, since most of the systems are currently at the architectural design phase, we believe the educational environment will be specified in the implementation phases of the system developments. Ambient intelligent classrooms, smart classrooms, virtual classrooms, interactive books, e-books, learning analytics, academic tubes, virtual reality, augmented reality, gesture-based computing, cloud computing, mobile devices, web 2.0, and social networks are information technologies used in SESs. Learning analytics, e-books, mobile devices, and cloud computing are commonly used in current SES designs or implementations. We did not find examples of educational robot use, serious games, and educational data mining in the identified systems.

Based on the analysis of the findings, we determine that the smart education framework has the capability to serve as a guide for smart education system designs. Note that the smart education framework does not necessitate the use of all information technologies in a single smart education system. The framework aims at building a base for the suitable use of the pedagogical approach and a coherent set of information technologies to reach a learning outcome. This is in line with our definition of smart education.

A summary of the findings are presented below:

The smart education framework (SEF) has the capability to describe all the identified Smart Education Systems (SESs).

The earliest SESs identified is reported in 2010. The latest one is reported in 2020.

Most of the SESs are architectural designs at this point. Only a few SESs are partial or prototype implementations.

All identified SESs are based on a learning/teaching approach. Personalized, Individualized, Adaptive, Interactive, Ubiquitous, Collaborative, Flipped, Blended, Case-based, and Challenge-based learning are among these approaches.

Almost all identified SESs utilize a type of software providing various features of learning management systems.

The identified SESs include at least one type of IT from each layer.

Ambient intelligent classrooms, smart classrooms, virtual classrooms, interactive books, e-books, learning analytics, academic tubes, virtual reality, augmented reality, gesture-based computing, cloud computing, mobile devices, web 2.0, and social networks are information technologies used in SESs.

Learning analytics, e-books, mobile devices, and cloud computing are commonly used in current SES proposals or implementations.

We did not find examples of educational robot use, serious games, and educational data mining in the identified systems.

Discussions

According to various scholars including us, the term “smart” inherently encompasses the use of various intelligence technologies. What makes a system “smart” is the use of a certain level of AI technologies in the system. The level is dependent on the need, available AI technologies, and budgetary concerns. As a result, a smart education system is inherently expected to create an intelligent environment for education and training activities.

Note that the framework is conceptually layered to highlight the contributing roles of various technologies in smart education. These are technologies and in an actual system implementation, the software and hardware components used may utilize various technologies at the same time. For example, a learning management system may already be implemented with learning analytics, open or private educational contents such as e-books or interactive books, gesture-based computing for disabled users, etc. These technologies may be implemented as software modules of the learning management system and the interaction between these modules will not necessarily be linear. In fact, the interaction among modules or components will be complex and non-linear to meet the system goals and requirements. Consider the following example implementation of a smart education system based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). While the SOA middleware software handles the communication between services offered with smart education modules, the system controller module handles the interaction required to achieve certain system tasks. As a result, while the smart education framework depicts the technologies in a layered fashion to ease the understanding of technology roles within the educational context, in actual system implementations these technologies form the basis for designing and implementing necessary education system components and modules with nonlinear interactions.

In the previous examples depicted in Figs.  4 and 5 , we highlighted technologies used in specific course design examples. Note that these are technologies, rather than actual systems or system components. In actual smart education system implementations, these technologies will be realized with software and hardware components. The functionalities provided with these technologies may be allocated to one or more components. Figure  7 shows an example of smart education system implementation based on service-oriented architecture (SOA). In this example, the software components providing services communicate with each other utilizing an SOA middleware. To accomplish a smart educational task, complex interactions among a number of components may be required depending on the design. Therefore, while the conceptual smart education design is layered to ease the understanding of the specific roles of technologies, the actual system architecture implementations may be different.

An Example smart education system implementation based on service-oriented architecture

The smart education design steps are specifically developed to be generic. This allows the steps to be used in many smart education designs. As the concept of smart education is new, until the concept is understood and utilized by many, the smart education system designs and the course designs will require support from smart education experts. These experts will customize these steps based on the specific needs of educational institutions. Therefore, in the early phases of smart education, support from smart education experts will be crucial.

The last steps of the smart education design are to evaluate design effectiveness and course effectiveness. In the early days of the smart education paradigm, smart education experts will help school administrators and course instructors in designing and constructing smart education systems. Furthermore, the students will likely provide feedbacks on the effectiveness of learning. As instructors get experience in smart education activities, they will better evaluate the smart education designs. Furthermore, most current smart education system proposals include various levels of learning and academic analytics capabilities. Tables 6 and 7 provide analyses of current smart education systems proposals. Tables 6 and 7 indicate such learning and academic analytics use. The data obtained from these components of smart education systems will help better understand the effectiveness of learning and systems. With all these feedbacks, experiences, and data the course designs based on the smart education paradigm will evolve and better serve student needs.

EDUCAUSE ( 2021 ) Horizon Report Teaching and Learning Edition lists key technologies and practices based on their importance in moving teaching and learning forward. These key technologies and practices are artificial intelligence, blended and hybrid course models, learning analytics, micro-credentialing, open educational resources, and quality online learning. While artificial intelligence and learning analytics may be considered technologies, the rest may be considered practices. Artificial intelligence is a broad term and the applications are countless. AI technology improves the capability of other technologies such as XR, smart classroom, educational data mining, educational robots, etc. Therefore, its effect is orthogonal. Learning analytics is already listed as enabling information technology for smart education. The technologies listed in the previous section cannot be exhaustive. New information and communication technologies are introduced every day. Therefore, as new technologies are introduced, they will take their place within the framework based on their role in contributing to smart education. Some of these technologies will be supportive technologies, some will be enriching and some others will be essential. We categorize technologies based on their contribution to smart education.

Conclusions

In this study, based on an investigation of a wide range of information technologies supporting smart education, we developed a Smart Education Framework. The framework conceptually structures the technologies in a layered architecture. We also developed a smart education design approach based on the framework. Furthermore, we show how to use the framework and design approach to develop specific smart education course or lecture designs. To validate the smart education framework, we examined smart education systems reported in the literature. To identify smart education systems, we conducted a systematic literature search. The literature search results show that the smart education framework has the ability to describe smart education systems. Furthermore, we observe that there are only a handful of smart education system designs or implementations currently reported in the literature. This study contributes to the literature with a smart education framework, a smart education system design approach based on the framework, and an analysis of current smart education system design and implementations.

Expectations from applying information technology in education and training are high. However, the realizations of practical implementations are challenging (Buckingham, 2013 ). Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Center for Educational Research and Education (CERI) states that teachers’ use of ICTs often lags behind the technical skills required by students by the time they enter the workplace (OECD, 2016 ) . Spector ( 2013 ) states that for the realization of education and training, we still need properly trained and dedicated teachers, designers, administrators, policymakers, and parents in addition to new and powerful educational technologies.

An OECD report states that technology is everywhere except at schools (OECD, 2008 ) . While the report is a decade old, there is not much evidence to suggest this has changed. Our educational institutions are generally formal and bureaucratic. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are quick-paced and progressive. Our educational systems are static. ICTs are dynamic. There is an incompatibility by nature in terms of pace and dynamism between educational systems and ICTs. Thus, incorporating ICTs effectively into educational systems is inherently challenging. There are and will be many issues to overcome.

New information and communication technologies are creating a paradigm shift in education and training (Duffy, 2008 ). Furthermore, they support new learning approaches such as distance learning, mobile learning (m-learning), personalized learning, flipped and blended learning, social collaborative learning, game-based learning, etc. Information technologies coupled with new learning and teaching approaches will help to realize the concept of smart education. The framework outlined in this article has a technology focus while stressing the importance of a coherent combination of new or improved learning and teaching approaches with suitable technologies. As future work, this smart education framework may be extended. The extension shall focus on identifying how to combine various teaching and learning approaches with the most suitable technologies.

One of the emerging paradigms in education is Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT). In this paradigm, the students utilize their own computers, tablets, etc. during educational activities. How this paradigm will affect the notion of smart education and how smart education/learning frameworks will evolve are prospective future work studies.

Engage and Prepare your Students with SmartBook

McGraw Hill’s adaptive learning solution is rooted in science, enabling you to boost student engagement, build on their knowledge, and prepare them for whatever comes next.

Why SmartBook?

With more than a decade of collecting data from billions of questions answered across 90+ disciplines, we've learned a lot about adaptive learning's impact on student performance.

The results? The evolution of Connect’s SmartBook. We’ve created a secure space for learning that balances intentional rigor with the freedom to make mistakes. This is an environment that develops self-awareness through meaningful, immediate feedback that improves student success.

SmartBook Assignments:

Granular Control

Pick the topics, depth of coverage, and even the length of time students spend on an assignment.

New Assignments

Review Assignments

Create assignments from multiple chapters or previously assigned concepts.

Learning Science:

Challenge While Building Student Confidence

Motivate and build student confidence with the power of learning science built within SmartBook.

Deliberate Practice

SmartBook creates a baseline of student knowledge and focuses their time on knowledge gaps.

Spaced Practice

SmartBook keeps students focused by mixing related topics and reducing fatigue to improve retention.

Metacognition

SmartBook helps students better understand what they know and what they don’t know.

How SmartBook Adaptive Questions Work

Rooted in several learning science principles like spacing, chunking, and interleaving, SmartBook creates mini-cycles of questions that consist of no more than five concepts at a time creating smaller, easier to absorb “chunks” of content. Each mini-cycle works like this:

• It utilizes questions that are different but with related ideas.
• Once students demonstrate that they understand a concept, the related questions will no longer appear.
• If students continue to struggle with a concept, they are more likely to encounter repeating questions. This is how SmartBook limits guessing and short-term, rote memorization.

This unique question approach improves comprehension and long-term retention and sets Connect with SmartBook apart from any other adaptive tool on the market today.

of students indicated it is important for digital learning technology to adapt to their unique learning style.

Google EDLA unlocks a world of possibilities

If you’re incorporating interactive technology into your classrooms, you have probably heard of Google EDLA. With other displays, you can expect a stock Google EDLA experience. At SMART, we have taken it one step further to save teachers and administrators time in the classroom, with better ease of use, flexibility, security, and personalization.

When selecting interactive technology, it’s important to understand all your options and which features are going to best support your educators.

Our goal is simple: to empower educators and fuel student engagement, creating an environment ripe for dynamic learning experiences. And both Google and Microsoft districts can benefit from a display with Google EDLA. Keep reading to find out how Google EDLA can support your users and organization.

What is Google EDLA?

The Android EDLA (Enterprise Device License Agreement) administered by Google allows tech providers (like SMART!) to offer technology solutions with built-in Google Mobile Services.

Unlike uncertified displays, this provides the most seamless and secure functionality for Android apps and cloud services, and access to the Google Play store. It provides seamless integration with Google and Microsoft Office 365 apps and tools, and unparalleled flexibility and accessibility. Bringing these capabilities into the classroom is an obvious choice when prioritizing ease of use and teaching pedagogy.

Empowering educators with easy user profiles

For schools and educators, enabling Google EDLA on SMART interactive displays unlocks boundless possibilities. Individual user profiles enable teachers to change the display from the default setup to exactly how they need it, just like you’d set up your phone or tablet. Launch a lesson from the Google Drive widget with one click, view your Outlook calendar from your home screen, get your students moving with the Spotify widget, share lessons via email and cloud storage and more. Secure sign-on ensures that sensitive student data remains protected, fostering a secure digital environment conducive to learning.

Profiles use teacher’s existing Google or Microsoft credentials, saving time for administrators. This also means that authentication is handled by the school's trusted identity provider and utilizes security features like multi-factor authentication to secure other organizational information.

With four easy ways to sign in (NFC card, QR code, web authorization code or regular password input) teachers securely access their unique profiles exactly how they’ve set them up, ready to teach - no matter who else is using the SMART Board.

Experience the ease in which educators can collaborate, create and present on SMART Boards with this quick demo of SMART iQ:

Your education apps are cooler on a SMART Board

Whether you’re a Google or Microsoft district, official access to the Google Play Store allows you to seamlessly use all your Android tools and apps natively, including Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365.

SMART’s proprietary, designed-for-the-classroom annotation tool makes teaching with Android apps easier than any other display on the market. Just pick up a pen and mark up apps and web pages while using them, without freezing the screen, then save and share it to students. Unlike other displays, you can still interact with the app while annotating, making it easy to model learning without frustrating tech interruptions.

Installing popular apps like Minecraft Education, Classdojo, Khan Academy or even Duolingo directly onto the display gives educators a wealth of content to captivate student interest and accommodate diverse learning styles - and it looks cool!

Enhanced device security and flexibility

Keeping student and teacher data safe is paramount. SMART has always prioritized safety and security and with Google EDLA, this offers another layer of enhanced protection. Regular Android updates and proactive monitoring provide additional protections against app vulnerabilities through Google Play Protect.

SMART provides schools with the ability to use device profiles that utilize your existing Google & Microsoft credentials and security features, adding key security features like multi-factor authentication to your display profile sign-in.

SMART also includes tools for easy administration. Admins can easily lock down device settings and Google Play store access, manage app installations at scale, set up and update multiple displays at once, and assist teachers with troubleshooting using SMART Remote Management software, included with your warranty.

How to unlock Google EDLA for new and existing SMART Boards

We offer multiple ways to bring Google EDLA into your classrooms. Invest in one of our iQ-enabled displays to gain access to the Google Play Store, SMART Ink, iQ 4, and numerous teacher tools automatically. Unlike solutions that force you to buy a new IFP to get Google EDLA, SMART Boards shipped as early as 2016 can experience the same benefits by upgrading with a SMART computing model - keeping your display in the classroom longer and out of the landfill.

So, why choose SMART?

As we mentioned earlier, there are a lot of interactive displays on the market that are doing this. Google EDLA offers easy access to the Chrome browser, Google Play, and increased security for the OS and apps. However, SMART takes it a step further with:

• Continued integration: Leading iQ whiteboard and one-touch collaboration workflows using mobile devices.
• Leading interoperability: use interactive features and annotations with any app, seamlessly.
• Teacher-centered customization: Simplified and easy-to-adopt home screen experience.
• Easy, secure user profiles: Self-serve profile setup, per-teacher personalization and security features.
• Platform optimizations: Integration of Lumio content and simplified file management directly from iQ.

A future-proof partner in SMART

All these benefits come in addition to the features SMART already provides for education users, including teaching and learning workflows, easy interaction with multi-page PDFs, and access to a growing library of educational tools such as unique digital manipulatives, graphic organizers, widgets, and much more.

So when you want upgradable technology, SMART is the best choice for the classroom. Google EDLA with SMART Interactive Displays elevates the educational experience, offering secure access, seamless integration, and unparalleled flexibility. It empowers educators to create immersive and engaging learning environments, unlocking new possibilities for both teachers and students.
