“…[53,54], and analyze them in a close-to-real-time way [55,56], so that city planners can employ up-to-date predictive models and use them in planning activities. It is noteworthy that citizens should actively exploit opportunities for growth and development, too, through appropriate policy implementation, human capital development, and developed culture of innovation [57].…”

The ongoing diffusion of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is opening new possibilities, and one of the most remarkable applications is associated with the smart city paradigm, which is continuously evolving. In general, it can be defined as the integration of IoT and Information Communication Technologies (ICT) into city management, with the aim of addressing the exponential growth of urbanization and population, thus significantly increasing people’s quality of life. The smart city paradigm is also strictly connected to sustainability aspects, taking into account, for example, the reduction of environmental impact of urban activities, the optimized management of energy resources, and the design of innovative services and solution for citizens. Abiding by this new paradigm, several cities started a process of strong innovation in different fields (such as mobility and transportation, industry, health, tourism, and education), thanks to significant investments provided by stakeholders and the European Commission (EC). In this paper, we analyze key aspects of an IoT infrastructure for smart cities, outlining the innovations implemented in the city of Parma (Emilia Romagna region, Italy) as a successful example. Special attention is dedicated to the theme of smart urban mobility.

“…the meaning of digital content through the development of skills for web content management, collaborative editing of digital content and the educatee's assessment (and self-assessment) of digital content in order to obtain knowledge, a process containing three levels, 'foundational knowledge' (technological skills) ,'conceptual understanding' (skills for applying skills) and 'procedural understanding' [30]; (c) 'digital competences' formulated by the European Union under the 'DIGCOMP' project which proposed a framework for digital competencies [31] and the educational application of which was formulated in "Promoting Effective Digital-Age Learning: A European Framework for Digital-Competent Educational Organisations" [32]. Furthermore, digital competences have been incorporated into the European Digital Agenda, following a process of conceptual and terminological refinement [33], as an element for sustainable and inclusive development [34]. In this context, "information and communicational competences" for collaborative and social networked learning and "visual competencies" understood as the object and field of study and experimentation of Visual Literacy, should soon be incorporated.…”

This research paper describes the application of a didactic innovation project in Higher Education. We present the theoretical foundation of the project. Thanks to the evolution of the Web and the potential of image to disseminate and generate knowledge, visual materials have had an increasingly powerful projection in Education, especially for the development of new methods, media and didactic materials in Higher Education. As a result of researchers interested in it, Visual Literacy has emerged as an academic field developing research and didactic effectiveness of the image, and digital competences and academic literacy as instruments to be integrated into curriculum of higher education for its excellence. We analyse the didactic innovation project by presenting how we integrated a Visual and Academic Literacy competence-based program into a course at the Carlos III University of Madrid. We show its instructional design, didactic materials, pedagogical activities, planning and evaluation. Findings suggest the need for this type of programs for academic excellence in higher education.

“…In this context, the importance of personal development of the individual in the information society is emphasized. According to Sharma, Fantin, Prabhu, Guan and Dattakumar (2016), they stated that based on the above definitions, they had the ability to use digital media to create a content and to use the internet and new media to critically evaluate it. Looking at these skills, the concept of digital literacy in information society is one of the leading literacy.…”

The research population consists of 948 students from all high schools in the province of Hendek at Sakarya in 2016-2017 education season year. And the sampling consisted of 394 students from 5 different high schools. Digital Literacy Scale that translated to Turkish by Hamutoğlu, Güngören, Uyanık and Erdoğan (2017) was used in this research for data collection tool. Personal information section was added by reseacher to scale. Standard deviation, frequency analysis, arithmetic averages, descriptive statistical data, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent sample t-test techniques was used to analyze research. The level of high school students' digital literacy; doesn't vary according to having a personal mobile Internet connection for regular use, the type of university exam scores gets into university exam score, family economic income, active time period on Internet. But gender, having a personal computer for regular use varies according to technical sub-dimensional and active time period on personal computer varies according to technical, cognitive and social dimensions.
