With the emergence of new technologies the area of education is also growing very fast. By using new innovations teaching and learning has become technically very strong. Learning is becoming tech learning or e-learning. Educators and students are getting very smart and hence study and learning is also becoming smart. Maximum available learning systems don’t involve pen and paper based learning. Due to the emergence of ICTs in the learning atmosphere it doesn’t indicate that our traditional education methodologies have become outdated. Smart study is such a stage which allows students continue to learn in smart way by using smart pens and papers. Using smart paper and pen the contents written on the paper can be converted into digital format. Smart study using pen and paper is helpful for practicing handwriting in same traditional manner. This paper presents a smart study platform which combines work with printed and digital contents.

Before we can exploit new technologies to realize new ways of working, we must be able to imagine innovative possibilities for learning. Organizations seeking to improve the way they work and build knowledge reach for new learning paradigms. Possibilities emerge when exploring learning and working in virtual spaces from social learning perspectives, such as situated learning.. In this chapter, findings from a qualitative case study in a geographically dispersed organization are used as a springboard for exploring the challenges of introducing innovative e-learning initiatives. This chapter adds to our understanding of learning and working in virtual spaces by delving into: (1) workplace practices related to virtual learning and work that facilitate and frustrate new ways of learning; and (2) notions of online community, informal learning, and blended learning which offer promise for re-conceptualizing learning within virtual work spaces. Recommendations are provided to guide the creation of fresh teaching and learning practices.

Growing use of information technology and communication (ICT) tools in language courses with communication at their core has brought opportunities as well as challenges in the predominantly conventional face-to-face context of the classroom. When the French programme in the Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages at The Chinese University of Hong Kong started to integrate an e-learning platform into all language courses, students as well as teachers showed reservations and even disbelief. However, it was unexpected to observe such an interdependent relationship between new technologies and the conventional teaching approach. In this paper, the broad implications of the e-adoption applied to learning French as a foreign language are investigated to highlight students’ learning habits and learning process. The strategies used to make technology act as a facilitator across cultures, and various ways to savoir-faire diffusion are also discussed. The study shows how new technologies modify in-class teaching, while the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning approach can influence choices in the use of different web tools that lead to blended models of education.

With the development of new technologies and their implementation in all areas of life, especially education, it is important to understand and accept all the new educational/technological concepts and their benefits. Through the concept of virtual learning environment, educational institutions can improve the quality of the learning process, reduce costs, but also improve communication between students and lecturers. The main objective of this paper is to present characteristics of two most used e-learning systems (Moodle and Blackboard) and provide results of the literature review on the differences of these two systems. Based on the results of literature review, a comparison between Moodle and Blackboard based on ISO 25010 framework is made. Through this secondary research, it was concluded that Moodle is the best solution for introducing a learning management system, but there are numerous opportunities for improving the education system at all levels.

With the rapid rate of innovation in software engineering, teaching and learning of new technologies have become challenging issues. The provision of appropriate education is a key prerequisite for benefiting from new technologies. Experience shows that typical classroom education is not as effective and efficient as it could be. E-learning approaches seem to be a promising solution but e-learning holds problems such as a lack of social communication or loose control on learning progress. This chapter describes a blended learning approach that mixes traditional classroom education with e-learning and that makes use of tightly integrated coaching activities. The concrete effects and enabling factors of this approach are discussed by means of an industrial case study. The results of the study indicate that following a blended learning approach has a positive impact on learning time, effectiveness and sustainability.

Adaptive e-learning systems can be extremely valuable tools in developing innovative learner-centered environments in any content domain. One area that can benefit greatly from adaptive e-learning systems is teacher development in the educational uses of computers. In this chapter, we discuss the design of PAUL, an adaptive computer-based learning environment for the development of ICT-related pedagogical content knowledge, a unique body of knowledge that teachers need to develop in order to be able to teach with ICT. PAUL combines two opposing trends in adapting instruction, namely instruction that is both controlled by the learner and the system. We expect the impact of PAUL to be significant as it will provide a venue for effective teacher professional development situating learning in virtual communities of practice and supporting teacher thinking about the educational uses of ICT in teaching and learning.

Background: The transition in the education system was parallel to the humankind and the technological revolution has been increasing issues in the education system around the globe. The shift in education system tends to understand how learning styles of students affect education quality with completely different forms of e-learning. Education 4.0 tackles society's desire in the 'innovative age'. Such education training will demonstrate the ability of the learner to use the latest technology to help the learner adapt as per the changes in society. Students in education 4.0 become more self-reliant in their own education, pressuring educators to accept a new function as administrators who might influence the learners across their education process. This paper aims to explore pandemic as a driver of enhancement of Education 4.0 in Nepal in terms of school level technology change. The paper applies the thorough review of the literature on Education 4.0 in wider perspective as well as in Nepalese context. Objective: This paper aims to analyze the enhancement of education 4.0 in Nepal in terms of review from school level technology change. Results: It is observed that education 4.0 is a very necessary reform in the education system in Nepal. The major need of the time is the upliftment of the education sector from the traditional ones and makes the implementation of education 4.0. It helps in the improvement of digital competencies in all level, and the use of digital technologies for teaching and learning. The research regarding the changes in the education system has been conducted in various nations around the globe. Conclusions: It is found that the learners mostly prefer those technology with whom they are more familiar such as use audio/video conferencing technologies rather than any other tools. Education revolution is not an easy task for the developing countries as there is a lack of local research regarding the new technologies in educational sectors. Nepal has tremendous opportunities to drastically reform education in an offer to address deep structural inequalities. Originality: This paper is original and not published anywhere else.

Gathering and extracting knowledge from the large amount of data available today is becoming more and more important in our information society, and similarly, learning is an essential important part of our everyday lives. The new requirements of the competing world and the development of more advanced technologies have also changed traditional educational systems, which now employ better and more effective teaching and learning methods. In this regard, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the field of education offers both great challenges and opportunities in building e-learning systems. E-learning systems allow learners to access the educational materials ubiquitously from anywhere at any time. Therefore, these systems have to become adaptive to the needs and preferences of each individual learner. This chapter presents a review of the important concepts and background for research to include introduction and examination of e-learning systems and intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs), available today.

Mobile learning is e-learning delivered through mobile computing devices, which represents the next stage of computer-aided, multi-media based learning. Therefore, mobile learning is transforming the way of traditional education. However, as most current e-learning systems and their contents are not suitable for mobile devices, an approach for mobile devices to adapt to e-learning is presented. To provide device-independence mobile learning services, a context-aware mobile learning approach is proposed. Firstly, the formal definitions of contexts and their influence on mobile learning services, including device contexts NCxt, matrix of information transmission parameters S, the degree of influence of the context NCxt on information transmission parameters Q, and adaptation coefficient E, are given. By using this approach, the mobile learning system is constructed. In an example using this approach, the authors detect the contextual environment of mobile computing and adapt the mobile learning services to the learners’ devices automatically.
