Smart Education and Technology Symposium

Education in this era should prepare students for both their personal and career challenges. Today's student centered learning approaches, taking advantage of the developments in technology, cater to unique individual differences of learners. New technological developments enable learners to make learning smart, seamless as well as personalized.

Smart education shouldn't be confused with smart device education. An architect of smart education incorporates a smart pedagogy of differentiated instructions which either can be individual or mass based. Discarding a collection of rigid pre-set competencies, education should prepare students to be critical thinkers who can compete with given opportunities to make their personal dreams come true. In this regard, educators should be well equipped with the 21st century skills and their application in teaching-learning. Keeping this in mind, a sharing of ideas, experiences and skills in the field of smart education is advisable.

Smart Education and Technology Symposium is organized by Ibra College of Technology, Sultanate of Oman.
