Abstract
The eco society, the knowledge society, the digital society are transforming into an intelligent society. It is built on “smart” work, which is done by “intelligent” government and business representatives, based on “intelligent” infrastructure and “intelligent” citizens, playing a key role in creating culture. In addition, the priority is the development of such industries as smart transport, smart health, smart energy, smart food, etc., which will eventually lead to the creation of a smart world. SMARTs will play a special role in the preparation of new-generation specialists, in which e-learning and personalized learning will have priority positions. In an intelligent society, technologies, previously based on information and knowledge, are transformed into technologies based on interaction, cooperation, exchange of experiences – smart technologies. Citizens, new generation specialists, turn their activities into “intelligent” and implement innovative changes in management strategies. This means that society needs more creative and open thinking persons, so that human dignity, based on flexibility and originality, is a priority. The most important issue is the training of staff with creative, creative potential, able to work and think in the new world. (Smyrnova- Trybulska 2018). The monograph “E-learning and Smart Learning Environment for the Preparation of New Generation Specialists” includes articles based on the best papers prepared and presented by authors from nine European countries and from more than twenty universities during the scientific conference entitled ”Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Distance Learning”, subtitled: “E-learning and Smart Learning Environment for the Preparation of New Generation Specialists”, which was held on 15-16 October 2018, organized by the Faculty of Ethnology and Sciences of Education in Cieszyn, University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland. The speakers from University of Extremadura (Spain), Linnaeus University in Kalmar (Sweden), the Comenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia), Plovdiv University “Paisii Hilendarski” (Bulgaria), Lisbon Lusiada University (Portugal), Kirchlische Pedagogische Hochschule, Vienna (Austria), Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University (Ukraine), Gdańsk Technical University (Poland), Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, St. Petersburg (Russia), Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University), (Russia), Jagiellonian University (Poland), Warsaw University (Poland), Silesian University in Opava (Czech Republic), Jesuit University of Philosophy and Education "Ignatianum", Cracow, Poland, Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovakia), University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland), University of Defence in Brno (Czech Republic), Kostiantyn Ushynsky South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University (Ukraine), Rzeszów University of Technology (Poland), Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin (Poland), Lublin University of Technology (Poland), Mykhailo Drahomanov National Pedagogical University, Kyiv, (Ukraine), Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz (Poland), Taras Shevchenko National University "Chernihiv Collegium" (Ukraine), University of Ostrava (Czech Republic), Cracow Pedagogical University (Poland), University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw (Poland), Dniprovsk State Technical University (Ukraine), Poznań University of Medical Sciences (Poland), Warsaw University of Technology, (Poland), Higher School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Santarem (Portugal), Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, (Poland), University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw (Poland), Ternopil University (Ukraine), Federal Research Center “Computer Science and Control” of the Russian Academy of Sciences, (Russia), State Higher Vocational School in Krosno, (Poland) and other educational institutions delivered lectures providing insights into interesting studies, presented their recent research results and discussed about their further scientific work. The authors include experts, well-known scholars, young researchers, highly trained academic lecturers with long experience in the field of e-learning, PhD students, distance course developers, authors of multimedia teaching materials, designers of websites and educational sites. I am convinced that the monograph will be an interesting and valuable publication, describing the theoretical, methodological and practical issues in the field of the use of e-learning for societal needs, offering proposals of solutions to certain important problems and showing the road to further work in this field, allowing for exchange of experiences of scholars from various universities from many European countries and other countries of the world.
