5th Int’l Symposium on Future Intelligent Educational Environments and Learning Minjuan WANG a and Vic CALLAGHAN b a San Diego State University, USA b University of Essex, UK As the world moves steadily to become a knowledge-based economy, education and learning have never been more important. Technology is playing an increasingly crucial role in the delivery of education which, in turn, is driving research to discover ever better technological solutions. The age of intelligent environments is bringing such pedagogical advances as smart classrooms, intelligent campuses, personalized intelligent tutors, educational-analytics (big data), mobile learning, and immersive learning through X- Reality, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) All these educational technology advances have the potential to revolutionize current educational practices and to challenge the traditional notion of a university or a school. However, the successful deployment of technology in education is not just a matter for science and engineering rather it touches in wider issues such as the cultural dimension which is becoming an increasing important factor in online systems as globalization of education continues its, seemingly, unstoppable march. Likewise, matters relating to commercializing future educational environments have an important role to play in the successful deployment of these technologies. Thus, this is complex but interesting area of research. To explore this area we have organized a series of academic events starting with the first workshop on Future Intelligent Educational Environments, held in Guanajuato, Mexico) (2012) and Athens, Greece (2013). The 2014 edition in Shanghai marked a significant step in the nature of the event, becoming a Symposium on Future Intelligent Educational Environments (SOFIEE) which continued in Prague, Czech Republic (2015); London, UK (2016); Seoul, Korea (2017) and Rome, Italy (2018). We hope that this 2019 edition in Morocco will continue the successful momentum, by serving as a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the latest intelligent technologies that can support the development of teaching and learning around the world. Papers accepted into this year’s Symposium cover a topical set of issues including: • Bridging the divide: the current status of Web 2.0 in higher education, • Models for facilitating team-based mobile learning in large-size classes, • Context in mobile learning: the point of view of the learners, • Research on mobile blended learning in teaching English to college students, • Developing “smart” tutorial tools to assist students with learning calculus, Intelligent Environments 2019 A.
