Edukas environment: Towards an integrated dashboard for education management in smart cities

Education is considered one of the basic needs of every citizen and plays a key role in country development. Throughout history this area has faced a number of challenges and paradigm shifts. Nowadays, the presence of pervasive computing might help the teaching-learning process using huge datasets through user interaction with these new technologies. This research describes the Edukas Environment, a conceptual model that uses educational governance, computational intelligence and strategic planning to assist school and smart city managers transform the teaching-learning process, benefiting the whole educational chain of events.
