Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The landscape of teaching and learning in tertiary education has been revolutionized by rapid technological advancements. Online platforms and digital tools have become integral to delivering education, creating new opportunities for innovation and engagement.
Technology enhances education in numerous ways, including supporting student-centered learning by fostering dynamic interactions among peers, educators, and resources. It also improves accessibility and makes learning more engaging. For educators, technology offers tools to streamline assessment, detect plagiarism, and provide automated feedback. Furthermore, the data generated by learning management systems—when paired with learning analytics—offer deep insights into student behaviors, engagement patterns, and collaborative dynamics.
This Special Issue aims to explore how technology is shaping and enhancing teaching and learning practices in tertiary education.
This collection focuses on the transformative role of technology in improving educational outcomes, fostering inclusivity, and enhancing engagement in tertiary education. We aim to showcase innovative research, practices, and applications that highlight the potential of technology to revolutionize learning experiences.
We invite researchers and educators to contribute original research, case studies, or reviews on the following topics:
- Online Learning Design: Exploring innovative strategies and frameworks for effective online education.
- Project-Based Learning: Examining how technology facilitates collaborative, hands-on learning experiences.
- Inclusive Learning Engagement: Investigating approaches to ensure equitable participation and accessibility in online learning environments.
- Technology-Enhanced Learning: Highlighting tools and techniques that transform traditional teaching methods.
- AI and Deep Learning in Education: Applying artificial intelligence and emotion-based interactive data to improve learning experiences.
- Learning Analytics: Utilizing data to uncover insights into student engagement, performance, and collaboration.
