Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The landscape of education is evolving rapidly, driven by technological advancements, innovative pedagogical strategies, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI). This Special Issue will explore cutting-edge approaches in education, emphasizing the role of immersive technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), alongside AI-driven tools, in enhancing teaching and learning experiences.
We invite submissions that investigate the integration of immersive technologies and AI within various educational contexts, examining their potential to personalize learning, foster engagement, and address equity challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Curriculum design for immersive and AI-enhanced environments;
- The development of AR/VR and AI-powered educational tools;
- Effective training for educators in utilizing immersive and AI technologies;
- The impact of these technologies on cultivating 21st-century skills;
- Ethical considerations and challenges in implementing AI in education;
- AI-driven adaptive learning systems and their role in personalized education;
- Synergies between AI, AR, and VR in creating holistic learning experiences.
We welcome contributions from researchers, educators, and practitioners focused on the intersection of technology and education, particularly those exploring the integration of AI with immersive technologies. We encourage articles that provide evidence-based insights, interdisciplinary approaches, and practical implications for educators. By sharing diverse perspectives, this Special Issue will enhance our understanding of how AI and immersive technologies can be effectively harnessed to drive meaningful and inclusive educational transformation.
