Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
E-learning has experienced tremendous growth in the last few years thanks to the huge advances in technology and software that have reduced their costs while increasing their capabilities. Some of these advances in technology represent an opportunity, while others set a new trend with possibilities for improving e-learning. This Special Issue aims to address these advances in technology together with the questions and research lines that remain open in technology-enhanced learning. Examples of the topics addressed are: Can artificial intelligence be useful and help teachers in their daily work? Can machine learning and learning analytics reduce drop out rates in e-learning courses? How can we address e-assessment in a reliable and sustainable way? Are virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality effective in e-learning?
This Special Issue is an opportunity to share your experiences and research on these leading topics related to e-learning. Articles are welcome on research, practice, experience, current issues, or literature reviews. Visionary papers describing the future of education, supported and transformed through technology, are welcome as well.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- artificial intelligence in e-learning;
- machine learning in e-learning;
- e-assessment;
- technology-enhanced learning and online learning environments;
- diversity, accessibility, and inclusiveness in e-learning;
- life-long learning and professional development through e-learning;
- virtual labs and simulations;
- MOOCs and other types of online courses;
- students as creators of digital educational resources;
- learning analytics, educational data mining, and web mining in education;
- e-learning models and standards;
- video-based learning;
- synchronous vs. asynchronous e-learning;
- online collaborative learning;
- mobile learning;
- VR/AR/MR in education;
- serious games and gamification; and
- ethical and privacy-related aspects of e-learning.
