Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Educational technology is an interdisciplinary research and field of study that includes information technology, teaching and learning, cognition, learning theories, human factors, psychology, and design. Educational technology studies how digital technologies can be used for supporting teaching and learning at all education levels, including at the organization/systemic level as well as at the user level. Although educational technology is often driven by technological progress, it requires substantial educational and technical innovation to advance into new realms of interaction in the future.
The COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to a quick race against the clock to adjust the delivery of content to the online realm with all sorts of digital technologies at all levels of education. Some education systems succeeded better than others and continue to provide access to education in spite of the variety of difficulties faced. However, the results of the disruption have been severe. Students have faced, among others, an incapacity to engage consistently with their education, a disparity in their access to technology, and unequal skills to engage with technology because of socioeconomic differences. This demonstrated that sustainable access to good quality educational technology is therefore a priority going forward.
This Special Issue is expected to select high-quality papers, both in editorial, theoretical and empirical forms, on the topic of educational technology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Educational technology in the classroom;
- Emerging technologies in education;
- Trendspotting on educational technology;
- Interaction in virtual/augmented reality;
- Artificial intelligence;
- Learning analytics;
- Implementation research in education;
- Educational technology testbeds.
