The results of research, analysis and approbation of implemented components of smart pedagogy reflect different levels for the achieved “smartness” for tertiary education systems. The key indicators for smart classes including (1) adaptability, (2) self-learning and (3) self-organization have been considered. The conduced review, experiment and the feedback represent the crowdsourcing model based on Ed Tech as an effective way to transfer knowledge from the older generation to the younger one.
