Special Issue: Interactive and Innovative Technologies for Quality Practices in Smart Education to Realize Sustainable Development Goals in Future Societies and Citizenship

In the present scenario, dramatic improvements in e-learning methodologies such as virtual learning and online interactive learning solve typical intractable problems and offer sophisticated learning experiences to the end-users in a more convenient way. Virtual classrooms have attracted increased attention in recent times as they provide the most reasonable educational services. Data is efficiently visualized via advanced computational algorithmic Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques from hundreds of computer networks simultaneously, enabling the users to offer the most relevant and actionable response to realize the recently announced Sustainable Development Goals in Future of Societies and Citizenship. In addition, the use of advanced network technologies such as 5G makes this process take place in a much faster way, with much more data flow facilities. In summary, smart education in the digital era of computing technology is actually a cool upcoming trend, where the vast amount of individuals from the educational society may unimaginably gain benefit from this learning method. Moreover, the digital transformation makes scholars point out efforts on the sustainable societies based on equity, equality and inclusiveness. However, emphasizing the need for interactive and innovative technologies for smart education also acquire greater importance as it forms the key requirement of the present-day smart education environment.

As a result, this special issue aims to explore more deep insights into interactive and innovative AI technologies for smart education from various perspectives of the teaching and learning methodologies in the era of Internet of Things (IoT). The primary focus will be on finding innovative ways to bridge the research gaps between today’s education systems and the distance learning paradigms with the most efficient methods of interactive and innovative learning technologies.
