Higher Education Model in Smart Cities: A case study in computer school

Traditional higher education in universities has been unchanged for long times. When the internet was introduced in the early 2000, it gave great opportunities by shifting from traditional learning to E-Learning. Some universities moved toward online degrees for several majors. The majority of E-learning models shared the following systems: Learning Management System (LMS), Virtual Class-Room System (V.C.S), Digital Library system, Content Management System (C.M.S), and Admission & Registration system. However, most of those E-Learning models have several limitations compared to traditional learning. Various limitations for example: the lack of high speed of the internet, unavailability of good learning contents, and the shortage of student’s comprehension of learning resources due to lost connections between online learning and real-world cases. This paper will study how to improve higher education in Smart City Environment by tighten online learning resources with real world scenario. Our case study will be in a computer school where an under development Smart Education System (SES) will track learning resources based on Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) of computer courses either locally or remotely.
