Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, e-learning has spread in the field of education and training, becoming more open, easy to achieve and more ubiquitous. It has been necessary to develop a huge amount of innovative technologies such as learning management systems, specifications for standardization, educational content generation tools or sophisticated digital repositories with recommended systems. New technologies are invading the landscape now, mainly based on artificial intelligence techniques—data analysis, big data, cloud computing or internet of things—which will enrich and personalize the e-learning environments of the future.
With all of the above, new lines of work have emerged in the field: learning analytics, gamification, virtual assistants, the use of sensors to assess learning processes, etc. Now, the question arises of how e-learning will evolve due to the influence and the natural integration of these new technologies with the existing software architectures and pedagogical methodologies.
In this Special Issue, we are interested in receiving contributions that will show the integration of learning design and the introduction of innovative technologies to achieve the best, most inclusive and most personalized learning environments.
