Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of mobile technologies into educational settings in recent years has revolutionised the way we perceive and engage in learning. Due to the ubiquitousness of mobile devices like smartphones and tablet computers, their powerful computing capabilities, internet connectivity, and the ability to display different content (simple text to advanced multimedia), AR and VR materials are facilitating a new era in education, changing where, when, and (most importantly) how we learn.
In the last two decades, the focus of mobile learning has been on accessing learning content from mobile devices, hardware capabilities, and the ubiquitous learning concept. However, the goals of modern m-learning have shifted to exploring different collaboration possibilities; enhancing interest, motivation, and engagement through gamification and personalisation; and investigating various ways of using XR and AI in education.
This Special Issue aims to publish papers on emerging technologies in technology-enhanced learning and mobile learning fields. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Technology Enhanced Learning;
- Mobile Learning Technologies;
- Seamless and Blended Learning;
- Collaborative Learning;
- Computational Thinking;
- Personalization and Adaptive Learning;
- Game-based Learning;
- Gamification in Education;
- Mixed Reality and Metaverse in Education;
- Virtual and Augmented Learning Environments;
- Immersive Learning;
- AI in Education;
- Artificial Companions in Education;
- Chatbots in Education;
- Intelligent Tutors and Mentors;
- Educational Robots, Robot Companions, and Toys;
- Enhancing Grading and Feedback;
- Learning Analytics;
- Security and Privacy Issues.
