Abstract

In this paper we focus on the application of Knowledge Management (KM) techniques to the design and implementation of Smart Learning Systems. In this direction, we explore the application of Soft System Methodology (SSM) in the development of a Knowledge Management (KM) framework for Smart Learning Systems (SLS) in Higher Education (HE). The proposed framework aims at increasing the learning outcomes and the participation of teachers and students in academic life, at improving the services provided in the Smart University, and at establishing new innovative services. It also contributes to the bibliography of system thinking about Smart Learning and Smart Universities.
