Abstract

Along this decade, advances from Cognitive and Computing Sciences disturbed the college campus, namely, via the availability of online courses (MOOCs) and tools, and also the secondary schools with e-learning environments. The technological impacts helped to democratize traditional university education and brought, to everywhere in the world, the teaching of wonderful professors through Internet (YouTube). Yet, the lectures are still alive, and the old fashion pedagogy seems in good health, most of the students do not participate fully in the process of learning. What is missing is a profound shake-up of mentalities, new initiatives to accelerate learning research and the discovery of the resilience of the whole process. Artificial intelligence and information and communication technologies (ICTs) in general are sound proposals to open alleys till a happy solution, and in this study, we try to show some ideas about the disruption of the traditional classroom scenario due to the availability of innovative online resources and computers (tablets, smartphones, and laptops).
