Abstract
Technological advances in the last decades have significantly influenced education. Smart Learning Environments (SLEs) could be one solution to meet the needs of the 21st century. In particular, we argue that smart collaboration is one fundamental need. This paper deals with the question what ‘smart’ is and why a SLE’s design has to consider collaboration. Drawing on various theories, we argue that the community aspect plays a vital role in successful learning and problem solving. This paper outlines the benefits for the community and all parties involved (defined as a win-for-all or winn-solution), as well as drivers that might influence collaboration. Design principles for SLEs, Smart Learning Communities (SLCs) and finally the conclusion close the paper.
