 Abstract. The incorporation of Information and Communication Technologies
 (ICT) as a supporting mechanism in educational processes has already been
 proved as an important driver in reinforcing both teaching and learning. The ex-
 tensive development of Learning Management Systems (LMS), software plat-
 forms aimed at supporting and articulating e-learning, education courses and
 training programs, is already backed by a relevant ICT industry, with significant
 market penetration. The emergence of the new concept of Smart Learning Envi-
 ronments (SLEs) is shifting the main focus of LMSs on courseware towards a
 more efficient and effective approach focused on teaching and learning pro-
 cesses, thus in the students themselves and in the teachers as key players. The
 evolving concept of SLEs encompasses blending educational technologies with
 appropriate considerations and guidance developed by pedagogical and educa-
 tional neuroscience domains, thus opening up room for interesting scientific and
 technological challenges.
