Smart learning can support In a smart learning environment, learners can learn in Any learners’ lifelong learning, career development Time, Any Place, Any Way, and at Any Pace (4A for and self-actualization effectively. short). This kind of learning environment can also support learners with the experience of Easy, Engaged and Effective Learning (3E for short). Social Cognition for Different Learning Scenarios There are three types of learning: explicit school education, High explicity implicit social education, and family education sitting between them, in perspective of social cognition. +3 Top School School Education System School +2 Top Class For school education, people generally believe that (Funded by Government) Education +1 Top Score attending "top school" is the best choice followed by Family 0 Learning at Home attending "top class" and achieving "top score". For social Education Learning in Community education setting, learning in community, learning in City Education System -1 (Funded by Society) Social -2 Learning in Enterprise enterprise and learning in public are important components Education -3 Learning in Public of learning. However, they are often neglected because of their implicitness. Family has been one of the primary High implicity source of learning. Family education is neutral for that some families take learning at home very seriously but others not. Someone also argued that family education is part of social education. - 4 - White Paper: Smart Learning Environments in China 2015 (Executive Summary) The essential features of smart education are sensibility towards the learning environment, adaptbility of learning content to learners, respect and careness Map of Three Realms of Smart Education from educators towards students, equal learning opportunities among all learning groups, and System orchestration of different elements within education system. Firstly, sensibility toward the learning environment and adaptability of learning content to learners are the key features of smart learning environments, with which the education system make people experience the SMARTNESS. Secondly, the personality and diversity of students will be respected under the innovative learning modes, which help students learn in an easy, engaged, and effective way. The core objective is to help to enlighten students' wisdom. Harmony Carenes Adaptability Equity Sensibility s ` Big Data Finally, with the support of big data, we can analyze and simulate the schools’ setting in one area, education finance, employment channels, Concept students’ selection and other subsystems of the education system, and also the development of their relationships among those subsystems in advance. This kind of information provides evidences for reformation and decision making in teaching system, school administration system, and even the education system at the provincial and national level. The analysis and stimulation with big data can help to ` innovate the talents cultivation system, and promote educational equity across urban and rural, across regions and schools, which aims to develop a modern education system that supports the development of Digital Resources human wisdom. smart learning environment, ICT teaching mode and modern educational system.

Teaching and learning logic should be oriented towards teaching activities; 3) the technique of followed by four basic principles: matched learning dynamic tracking and learning analysis oriented towards resources, following instructional principles, learning activities; 4) the technique of knowledge abundant learning experience and timely learning organizing and reconstructing oriented towards learning feedback. contents.
