A Novel Architecture of SQU SMART LMS: The New Horizon for SMART City in Oman

摘要

The smart city along with smart technologies are becoming increasingly important. Few factors are considered as the drivers for the city's sustainability and competitiveness. The most important factor is represented through the readiness of the citizens to face the new lifestyle, which is embedded with smart knowledgeable tools. Hence, citizens need to be smartly educated in all areas of science and humanities. From this point of view, researchers are motivated to explore the best existing tools or design new tools to enhance the technology towards Smart Learning Environment (SLE). SLE would promote not only effective learning for learners but also provide adequate learning resources and convenient tools for interaction. This paper concentrates on using the aspects of software engineering in designing the novel architectural model for SQU smart LMS to foster smart education. This architecture integrates a smart learning environment into the service layer of the framework of the smart city system in Oman. This paper presents the abstract novel model of ongoing research work.
