Abstract
Traditional education faces many challenges. Integrating recent technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, etc) into the education system, known as smart education, offers promising solutions. However, the integration of innovative solutions into the traditional system remains limited. The limitations, revealed during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, have now become imperative. This study addresses problems within the traditional system and proposes innovative solutions like smart pedagogy, assessment, classroom, and administration. It explores the shift to smart education and the associated challenges, including computational and social resistance. Innovative education yields concrete benefits, enhancing learner engagement, motivation, attendance, and learning outcomes. Embracing innovative technologies holds the potential to make education more effective and efficient in meeting the evolving needs of learners.
