emerge the smartness of a learning ecosystem by means of bottom-up
analytics approaches; the first exploration will be conducted on
Universities;
a first questionnaire has been prepared and the exploratory phase has
started at the University of Tor Vergata - Rome and the Politehnica of
Bucarest; soon it will be tested also at the Aalborg University, the
University of Craiova, Rostock University and Politecnico di Torino;
a preliminary elaboration of the data collected and the design of
