Synopsis
This volume examines the transformation of higher education through smart university models, digital learning, artificial intelligence, and administrative innovation. Twelve chapters connect global collaboration, adaptive learning in sports education, responsible AI feedback, decentralized and hybrid pedagogy, institutional digital transformation, faculty role change, student online experiences, academic quality, teaching capital, and AI-driven university administration. The contributors combine conceptual reviews, empirical cases, governance analysis, and practice-oriented frameworks from diverse geographic and institutional contexts. Rather than treating smartness as a collection of technologies, the volume asks how universities can integrate data, automation, learning platforms, and intelligent systems while protecting equity, trust, privacy, and professional judgment. It highlights student experience and faculty capability as critical tests of whether digital transformation creates genuine educational value. Intended for researchers, university leaders, faculty, quality assurance professionals, policymakers, administrators, IT teams, and graduate students, the volume argues that smart universities must be designed as humane, accountable, and continuously learning institutions.
