Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of advanced technologies into education is driving a profound transformation in teaching and learning practices across all levels. From the ubiquity of personal computers and mobile devices to the rise of generative AI, machine learning, mixed reality, and cloud computing, today's educational landscape is rapidly evolving. These technologies are no longer limited to information storage or automated assessments—they are now enabling intelligent, responsive, and personalized learning environments.

This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of AI-supported and technology-enhanced learning, focusing on how emerging tools such as generative AI, augmented and virtual reality, and mobile computing are reshaping educational experiences both inside and outside traditional institutions. We seek contributions that present case studies, innovative applications, theoretical frameworks, and practical insights in smart learning environments that can adapt to individual learners, provide real-time feedback, monitor academic integrity, and promote continuous engagement.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Computer-assisted blended learning;
  • Applications of artificial intelligence to education;
  • Impact of large language models on learning and assessments;
  • Adaptive learning systems;
  • Gamification in education;
  • Virtual and augmented reality in education;
  • Mobile learning;
  • Collaborative learning platforms;
  • Smart classroom technologies;
  • Cloud-based learning environments;
  • Wearable technology for learning.

We welcome submissions that investigate the pedagogical, ethical, and technological challenges and opportunities posed by these developments, aiming to understand their impact on educational outcomes and the future of teaching.
