Online learning has always been influenced by advanced technology. The role of online learning is expected not only for delivering contents to massive learners anywhere and anytime but also for promoting successful learning for the learners. Consequently, this emerged role has introduced the concept of smart learning environment. More specifically, smart learning environment is developed to promote personalized learning for learners. Personalized learning focuses on individual learner and provides appropriate feedback individually. Currently, the advances of modern technologies and intelligence data analytics have brought the idea of smart learning environment into realization. Machine learning techniques are generally applied to analyze real-time dynamic learner behavior and provide the appropriate response to the right learner. In this chapter, the evolution of online learning environment from different points of technological overviews is first introduced. Next, the concepts of personalized learning and smart learning environment are explained. Then, the essential components of smart learning environment are presented including learner classification and intervention feedback. Learner classification is to understand different learners. Intervention feedback is to provide an individual response appropriately. Additionally, some machine learning techniques widely used in smart learning environment in order to perform smart classification and response are briefly explained.
