Smart Learning

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I'm a little unsure if this falls under WP:NOT, so I am putting it at AFD for the community to weigh in on. The article reads promotional for "Smart Learning". Whether that is theoretical terminology, or an institution by that name, or a trademarked learning system, don't know. What confuses it is an internet search where it's capitalized in results titles, where all words in the results are capitalized. You can achieve the same capitalization results by searching for Teaching Students Better. There is a book "Emerging Issues in Smart Learning" published in London, but written in Hong Kong and Beijing. — Maile (talk) 16:54, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The problem right now is that, behind all the advertising, we do not even know what the article is supposed to be about. I would however lean delete. If it is this journal, it is likely not notable (I could not find it in Web of Science or Scopus). If it is a scientific topic, there does not seem to be many sources that establish it as a notable stand-alone topic (one single book is not enough). Tigraan (talk) 13:31, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Smart learning is a new instructional approach. It is evolving and there are a number of activities happening in smart learning area. Some examples include International Symposiums on Smart Learning Environments in 2012 in Canada and China, International Workshop on Smart Learning Environments in 2013 and the conference series on smart learning environments. A number of researchers are working in this area, such as Carlo Giovanella, Italy, Ronghuai Huang, China, Peter Brusilovsky, USA, Diana Andone, Romania, Kinshuk, Canada and Nian-Shing Chen, Taiwan, to name a few. In addition, there is a journal solely devoted to this area where top researchers in educational technology field, such as Marlene Scardamalia, Rob Koper, Mike Spector and others have published. A number of books are also available in this area, for example, within Springer's Lecture Notes in Educational Technology series, such as State-of-the-Art and Future Directions of Smart Learning and Smart Learning Environments. This page provides a centralized place for readers to understand various views and perspectives on smart learning. Kinshuk1 (talk) 02:05, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
