RECENT TRENDS IN EDUCATION AND SMART LEARNING PROCESS

Institutions of higher learning have become increasingly important to a nation’s social and economic development. There has been a change recently from the taditional to the contemporary in a fresh way. In this changing context, universities have to respond to the needs of the business community, the government, and students in addition to their regular responsibilities for teaching and research. Understanding these trends is crucial for universities to progress, as the globalisation and several other pertinent international trends have largely transformed the environment in which higher education is conducted. In order to prepare their students for a new world, institutions should be informed about any new developments in the field of education during the transformation process. Numerous people, publications and newspapers have made reference to transformation process in educational sector. Due to the size and inertia of the educational system, changes in it have historically been extremely gradual. However, as life and modern society evolve, these requirements are being met at a rapid pace. The main goal of the higher education system is to improve the standard and increase teaching and learning by utilising and implementing new technological trends and IT enabled education. Any educational programme that makes use of information and communication technology to improve the learning process is considered electronic-based education.
