Abstract
This paper provides theoretical reflections and recommendations for implementing smart learning spaces in schools. Learning resource networks are enlarging students’ opportunities for exploring alternative formal, non-formal and informal education, in physical and virtual learning spaces, inside and outside traditional classrooms. Smart Pedagogy needs to include a shared conceptual understanding of what is knowledge and what is learning, and a deeper theoretical consideration of how humans learn, how they think, and why they interact. It should offer practical proposals around who should teach in a hybrid human–machine society, for what purpose, and why. Smart classrooms will be made up of several smart learning spaces, eventually employing some type of artificial intelligence. Such platforms will require a well-conceived pedagogical framework, and the integration of such artificial intelligence tools with other tools in the pedagogical matrix. They must be ethically developed to offer both personalised self-access, and interconnections that facilitate interaction with other students. Information 4.0 is a communicational framework that provides a useful basis to extend into elements of a holistic smart pedagogy that is a necessary precondition for implementing smart learning spaces.
