*Guest Editors*

*Introduction*
The theme for this special issue of International Journal of Conceptual
Structures and Smart Applications is the influence, implication, and
challenges of smart technology and applications in education. Typical
e-learning is thought of as occurring on a computer, at a desk, in a
web-based environment, but today’s smart applications, e-texts, and smart
virtual learning environments offer much broader possibilities to students,
instructors, and administrators. Smart learning spaces can be context
aware, offer ubiquitous interaction and resources, allowing the learner to
participate anywhere and anytime using supporting tools delivered in the
correct format, at the correct time and place. Smart learning spaces can
provide the means for adaptive education, helping ensure that meaningful
learning occurs for each student. Smart learning environments support
social, individual, and collaborative learning, provide continuous learning
experiences, and provide personalized learning based on the learner’s
abilities and needs.

*Objective*
Expanding smart technology in education can allow teachers to focus on
creative ways to help students elaborate their learning, allowing smart
apps, e-texts, and smart virtual learning environments to provide more of
the core instruction. This special issue would provide a platform for
sharing smart learning applications, smart learning environments, smart
e-texts and how they are currently used, challenges in implementing smart
learning, and future advantages of smart technology used to personalize
learning for students at all levels.
