Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ensuring the sustainability of educational effectiveness is an ongoing issue which has been addressed by many previous studies. The term sustainability in this Special Issue is used broadly to cover a wide range of affective and motivational measures to promote the digitization of teaching and learning. This includes ways to 1) identify how learners and educators can communicate effectively and efficiently in the online environment, 2) improve curriculum design, teaching pedagogy, administrative processes, and 3) increase students’ engagement and collaboration.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to bring together a wider range of researchers, educations, and policy makers to highlight recent developments in research on measures and practices to ensure the sustainability of teaching and learning across different contexts and settings. The focus of this Special Issue is on the wider context of ICT and digital innovations; this includes the innovative practices and their outcomes, standards for sustainable organizational change in school and higher education sectors, and how to foster the desire for sustained and enduring learning. Understanding these various perspectives will greatly enable educators and researchers to further promote lifelong learning and ensure sustainable digitalization of the education sector. We are certain that there is much to be learned by sharing and learning about what happens in different countries, disciplines and contexts, and how different innovative and sustainable digital practices can be integrated when needed to promote lifelong learning.
