Description
Summary:In response to the TIMISOARA declaration on the future of smart learning ecosystems, this stimulated paper critically examines the potential impacts of smart learning environments/ecosystems on learners’ agency beyond content and skill mastery. The declaration emphasizes the role of technology in achieving people-centred smartness in education, but the core issue to scrutinise is the differences between “smartness of technology” and “smartness of learners”. I would like to approach this issue in two dimensions: three major orientations of educational technology research, and the distinction between system adaptivity and adaptability in the context of software engineering.
