“…The proposed curriculum of a Digital Transformation course at high education [4] is well structured and presents two complete components: (1) Learning outcomes and (2) Programmatic contents. This proposal clearly justifies the programmatic content -students' needs to acquire new skills in the era of digital transformation.…”

“…With the growing pace of technological advances and the need for more agile organizations, so as to become more competitive and innovative, new curricula that consider DT in 1 st cycle courses in computation field are required to address the needs of present and future workers in this field of knowledge. [4] Any course of a 1 st cycle study curriculum in the computation field should provide students with skills that enable them to acknowledge and understand the importance of DT in organizations. While the scientific and organizational communities are currently mainly focused on technology and innovation, it is the moment to discuss that is the most relevant knowledge which students need to acquire in the field of digital transformation.…”

The present society, and in particular the organizations, are currently undergoing a series of metamorphoses of political, economic and social order. These metamorphoses, often referred to in the literature as digital transformation, are due to the rapid and uncontrollable evolution of information technologies and the role they can play in the organizational context. Digital Transformation (DT) is therefore a highly complex and comprehensive enterprise throughout the organization. However, digital transformation alone does not come into any organization for the much-desired success to happen; it is necessary that the information systems, the basis of operation of an organization, are aligned and are part of the same transformation. In this context, organizations have to follow technological developments, update their IS to become agile and innovative so as not to lose competitiveness. Analyzing the scenario of digital transformation, it becomes clear the need for institutions, namely higher education, to offer training to present and future workers in this area. In this paper it is proposed an extension of a curriculum of a course in Digital Transformation in order to accommodate the approach called ECLETIC that aims the use active methodologies in the teaching learning process. The use of the ECLETIC approach is justified by the fact that in addition to a curriculum of any one course must respond to current needs and trends, it should also address the way these skills are acquired, which is why the teaching-learning process is not less important.

This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the automation of smart education in the context of Industry 5.0 from 78 papers, focusing on the integration of advanced technologies and the development of innovative, effective, and ethical educational solutions for the future workforce. As the world transitions into an era characterized by human–machine collaboration and rapidly evolving technologies, there is an urgent need to recognize the pivotal role of smart education in preparing individuals for the opportunities and challenges presented by the new industrial landscape. The paper examines key components of smart education, including intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning environments, learning analytics, and the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in education. It also discusses the role of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotics, and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) in shaping personalized and immersive learning experiences. The review highlights the importance of smart education in addressing the growing demand for upskilling and reskilling, fostering a culture of lifelong learning, and promoting adaptability, resilience, and self-improvement among learners. Furthermore, the paper delves into the challenges and ethical considerations associated with the implementation of smart education, addressing issues such as data privacy, the digital divide, teacher and student readiness, and the potential biases in AI-driven systems. Through a presentation of case studies and examples of successful smart education initiatives, the review aims to inspire educators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to collaborate and innovate in the design and implementation of effective smart education solutions. Conclusively, the paper outlines emerging trends, future directions, and potential research opportunities in the field of smart education, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement and the integration of new technologies to ensure that education remains relevant and effective in the context of Industry 5.0. By providing a holistic understanding of the key components, challenges, and potential solutions associated with smart education, this review paper seeks to contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding the automation of smart education and its role in preparing the workforce for the future of work.
