“…However, this does not change the fact that students want to use technology [35,38]. That is, they are motivated to participate actively in the learning process [39], but they need support in the meaningful use of technology [25,[40][41][42] to support them in the development of ICT-competence [43]. What follows is that it is professors who can serve as those who scaffold the learning if they have the ICT-competence.…”

The field of education is not immune to advances in sophisticated information and communication technology (ICT). Going beyond the ICT-hype, the objective of this paper is to examine to what extent and how technology-enhanced teaching and learning (TEL) can enhance teaching and learning and, hence, turn them into levers of sustainable socio-economic growth and development. To address these questions, a multidimensional survey was developed and distributed internationally to lecturers/professors active in the field of higher education. The initial point of departure for this study was consistent with the well-referenced in the literature thesis that TEL has profound value added in view of enhancing the teaching and learning process. Yet, as the outcomes of the survey underpinning the discussion in this paper suggest, there is much more is at stake than that. Indeed, it is argued that several conditions need to be fulfilled if technology is to serve as a benefit, and not an obstacle to teaching and learning, and thus boost the delivery of quality education. This paper outlines them.which suggests that an intrinsic, albeit contentious, link exists between education and the ICT industry. Considering that the objective of research is to expand our knowledge and understanding of the world around us and to make research findings usable to all stakeholders, the interesting question is whether and how the inroad of technology in the field of education is of value to our societies.Quality education is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approved at the United Nations (UN) forum in 2015 [10]. In an attempt to go beyond the success of the Millennium Development Goals, the SDGs put forth the imperative to "ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning" [10]. Quality education may be the key lever of sustainable development [9,11,12] around the world, i.e., including the developing and the developed world. In this view, the access to, the role, and the potential of the use of technology in teaching and learning become more than a slogan. Indeed, the definition of inclusive education [13] points out to the decisive role of technology-enhanced education vis-à-vis boosting technological innovativeness, strengthening the economy, enhancing awareness of environmental sustainability, and ultimately empowering people to secure their wellbeing. Undoubtedly, the inroad of technology in the field of education yields a great promise. As the use of ICT in classroom matures and so the debate on it, it is necessary to get back to basics, and going beyond the ICT-hype, to examine to what extent and how TEL can effectively add to teaching and learning, and, consequently, to the imperative of quality education and sustainable growth and development. To address these questions and concerns, a multidimensional international survey was run. The discussion in this paper draws from insights collected in this way and queries them. The reminder of the paper is structured as follows. Following a brief literat...

Internet becomes the key source of communication to engage with everyone and everywhere around the world at any time. The advent of internet provides enormous way to transform an existing system into digital form. The impact of this adoption reflected back in all the domains, notably in healthcare, education, communication and so on. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a collective term, represents the components and infrastructure that enables the modern day computing. Cloud Computing is an essential part of ICT that delivers the computing services and resources based on demand and availability. It provides flexibility to the stakeholders to scale their resources virtually. All these technologies make the activities of day-to-day life easier and comfortable. E-Learning becomes an emerging concept that inherits the functionalities of modern day computing approaches. To makes the learner more engaging and interactive with the courses, new frameworks are developed online. With the help of cloud platform, delivering education-related services becomes handy. In this paper, a new concept is introduced with a thematic framework in theoretical aspects to improve the way to deliver personalized recommendations to the user based on the feedback provided on each course enrolled by the learner. This system helps the learners to select a course that is more relevant to their domain. Moreover, this feedback system helps the instructor of the course to improve their standard by providing some suggestions based on the learners comments. This system could be beneficial for both the learner as well as the instructor by providing personalized recommendations

“…Sometimes it is assumed that social networks are all online sites which can be accessed through the internet, sometimes it is suggested that there should be clear definitions how social networks are different form Learning Platforms, Learning Management Systems, Virtual Learning environment etc. Authors of this paper will not focus on defining these differences, but rather on benefits of social learning which is supported by using different kind of social media and ICT to scaffold Knowledge Building [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

“…Aspects of this reality are manifested in Learning Analytics Research, a branch that sets opportunities to reveal hidden pattern in large volume of data related to learners, academic institution, etc. Also, movement toward [35][36][37][38][39] more open learning using MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) is another area which offers full potential for researching student-centered learning analytics such as motivation effects and what to report on students learning. Another focus is learning software provision, which poses new significant challenges for policy makers, learning administrators, and faculty.…”

Social networks research has grown exponentially over the past decade. Subsequent empirical and conceptual advances have been transposed in the field of education. As the debate on delivering better education for all gains momentum, the big question is how to integrate advances in social networks research, corresponding advances in information and communication technology (ICT) and effectively employ them in the domain of education. To address this question, this paper proposes a conceptual framework (maturity model) that integrates social network research, the debate on technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and the emerging concept of smart education.
