This book focuses on the emerging phenomenon of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which are changing the fundamental underpinning of educational systems worldwide and forcing educators and other stakeholders to re-think the way instruction is currently conducted. It examines the origins of MOOCs within the context of the open education movement, and reviews current policies, guidelines and initiatives to promote the use of ICT  in education through the development and use of open educational resources from international practices, including implementation and licensing issues. With a particular focus on new trends in MOOCs, the book explores the potential of this emerging paradigm, its rise and its impact on openness in education. Various new initiatives are also presented, including more global examples and those that are more geared to certain regional contexts. The book is intended as a stepping stone for both researchers and practitioners who are looking to approach MOOCs from a holistic perspective.

The book aims to provide an archival forum for researchers, academics, practitioners, and industry professionals interested and/or engaged in the reform of the ways of teaching and learning through advancing current learning environments towards smart learning environments. It facilitates opportunities for discussions and constructive dialogue among various stakeholders on the limitations of existing learning environments, need for reform, innovative uses of emerging pedagogical approaches and technologies, and sharing and promotion of best practices, leading to the evolution, design and implementation of smart learning environments. The focus of the contributions in this book is on the interplay of pedagogy, technology and their fusion towards the advancement of smart learning environments. Various components of this interplay include but are not limited to: ● Pedagogy: learning paradigms, assessment paradigms, social factors, policy; ● Technology: emerging technologies, innovative uses of mature technologies, adoption, usability, standards, and emerging/new technological paradigms (open educational resources, cloud computing, etc.); ● Fusion of pedagogy and technology: transformation of curriculum, transformation of teaching behavior, transformation of administration, best practices of infusion, piloting of new ideas.

This book is the proceedings of the 2024 International Conference on Smart Learning Environments (ICSLE 2024). It focuses on the interplay of pedagogy, technology, and the collaborative intelligence (human intelligence and artificial intelligence) towards the development of human-centered learning. This book covers various components of this interplay, including:1) Next generation learning environments, such as AI powered learning environments, personalized learning environments, (multimodal) learning analytics, personalized and interoperable learning environment, and inclusive learning environments;2) Human machine collaboration and synergy in education, namely the policies, applications, case studies and best practices of domain-specific/subject-specific smart learning, such as human-(ro) bot collaboration, human-AI collaboration, Avatars, digital twins and metaverse;3) Pedagogy, learning approaches and instructional design, including collaborative intelligence (human intelligence and artificial intelligence), collaborative and group learning, and game-based learning and gamification;4) Digital transformation for catalyzing online, and immersive and open learning spaces, including e-learning, blended/hybrid learning, and MOOCs;5) Digital, machine and AI ethics in education, including ethical frameworks and policies in education, (Generative) AI ethics, teaching ethics, and responsible and human-centered AI in education.This book serves as a useful reference for stakeholders in the field of education who are interested in the interplay of pedagogy, technology, and the collaborative intelligence towards the development of human-centered learning, such as researchers, postgraduate students, undergraduate students, as well as policymakers.

This book facilitates understanding of how artificial intelligence (AI) aids and integrates digital transformation (DT) in education institutions worldwide in various scenarios: learning environments (learning innovation, learning management systems, data and analytics), emerging education trends (business trends, strategic technologies), administrative systems (recruit, retain, advance, enterprise business capabilities, student information systems), and digital strategy execution (business models and opportunities, strategic planning and governance). It serves as a reference for university lecturers, schoolteachers, policymakers, and international organizations, who will find in its various chapters practical recommendations and discoveries from practice, ready to be implemented in their contexts.Chapters 1, 2, 7 and 9 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
