### User Requirements for IEE  
The first step towards creating the model of the intelligent educational environment is summarizing and formulating relevant requirements for the IES considering its application scenarios within the IEE [47]. To develop a conceptual view of an intelligent educational environment, the authors scrutinize many related papers, preferably focusing on recent systematic reviews and research concerning frameworks and key structure aspects of educational environments. Thus, based on critical analysis of the most relevant of them [7; 8; 9; 10; 13; 15; 16; 18; 19; 21; 24; 28; 29; 35; 39; 41] and considering authors' experiences in the field, the user requirements for the IEE are systematized and presented in Table 3.  
An IEE is a technology-rich educational environment that integrates various contemporary educational and smart technologies to support a full range of activities related to the teaching-learning process [3; 7; 19]. This environment involves specialized AI-based ap \begin{table}

It utilizes innovative technologies to control both the intelligent teaching-learning process (including AI-driven applications, machine learning, learning analytics, ontologies, etc., to provide personalized and adaptive learning) [13; 15; 16; 28; 39] and smart learning workplaces (including environmental parameters and links to external devices and sensors to enable optimal classroom conditions and supply necessary external data) [6; 7]. To maximize the benefits of an intelligent educational environment, teachers require it to provide tools for supporting smart teaching, such as authoring tools for creating personalized learning resources (educational content, tasks, tests, etc. ), tools for composing individual learning paths, and custom curricula [12; 29].
