Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancements in teaching and learning technologies are reshaping how educators design assessment and deliver feedback, which is vital for effective learning. Feedback serves as a cornerstone for guiding learners, fostering engagement, and improving outcomes. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, and gamification offer unprecedented potential to enhance feedback by making it more personalized, timely, and impactful. However, their successful implementation depends on aligning these innovations with sound pedagogical principles, creating a cohesive approach that integrates technology and teaching methodologies.
This Special Issue explores how the integration of technology and pedagogy can transform assessment and feedback practices in education. It seeks to highlight cutting-edge research, innovative tools, and strategies that demonstrate the seamless collaboration of teaching methods and technological advancements. By bringing together researchers, educators, and practitioners, this Special Issue aims to showcase impactful practices, share insights on effective implementation, and critically examine how technology, when harmonized with pedagogy, can reshape the way feedback supports learning.
We invite submissions of original research articles, reviews, and case studies that present innovative tools, practices, and results. Submissions may address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Innovative digital tools and platforms for assessment and feedback;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in education;
- Data analytics and learning dashboards for personalized feedback;
- Digital twins and cyber-physical systems in education;
- Designing equitable and inclusive assessment technologies ;
- Case studies on the implementation of technology-enhanced assessment practices;
- Challenges and barriers to adopting new technologies in assessment;
- Theoretical frameworks and models for technology-enhanced assessment;
- Ethical considerations and data privacy in educational technologies.
