Towards a smart university through the adoption of a social e-learning platform to increase graduates’ employability

Abstract

The current paper proposes the improvement of the smart university model, defined as a set of highly technical interrelated elements, by implementing a social learning platform within the university ecology. This platform should permit the collaboration of various stakeholders – students, professors, university representatives and companies and should increase the visibility of the most meritorious graduates. In this paper, the research methodology applied to check the feasibility of the concept is presented, as well as the results obtained from the various structured interviews and online surveys conducted mainly in Danube Region countries.
