It will establish a global platform for the investigation and monitoring of specific challenges concerning education, namely: innovations in learning and pedagogies, digital technologies applied to Education, and new learning contexts.

Original research is requested, and authors are encouraged to contribute to the following topics with research papers: case studies and demonstrations, presenting original scientific observations, methodological aspects, concepts, and instructional technologies.

1. Technological Developments in Education: mobile technology, virtual environments, augmented reality, automation and robotics, and other tools for universal learning, focusing on issues that are not addressed by existing research.
2. Digital Education: mobile learning, eLearning, game-based learning, social media in education, new learning models and technologies, and wearable technologies for education.
3. Case Studies in Education: empirical studies in higher education regarding digital technologies, new methodologies, new evaluation techniques and tools, perceptions of learning processes efficiency and digital learning best practices.
