The paper deals with the role of Smart Learning Environments (SLEs) in the field of corporate education and the need for their interdisciplinary design in the face of existing problems with the introduction of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). For a human-centered design of SLEs new concepts and models have to be developed in order to meet the complex requirements of the 21st century. Authors describe an interdisciplinary research approach for designing SLEs and discuss a holistic, socio-technical framework combining interdisciplinary criteria for an educationally profound development of SLEs while the presentation of the subject, based on current findings from a research project at TU Dresden, a leading German University of Technology. With the question of how an interdisciplinary approach of education, computer science and architecture contributes to SLE-design, the study empirically applies data collected in 2016.
