To explore the hotspots in the area of Smart education in China, 245 related articles form the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CKNI) were analyzed by the visualization software of CiteSpace. The results show that: (1) the studies of smart education began in 2003 while there were sporadic papers published in the next ten years. There was an increasing trend year by year from 2013 to 2017 and the number of articles reached the historical peak in 2017 with 52 articles. Xianming Yang, Jiangsu Normal University and E-Education Research topped the lists of contributing authors, organizations and publications respectively. (2) “smart education”, “educational informationization”, “intelligent education” and “smart campus” were the top four largest clusters in the domain of smart education in China.
