Effectiveness and Sustainable Application on Educational Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Educational technologies are considered to provide learners with the opportunity to receive high quality education, and if utilized well, these technologies will allow learners to learn in a virtual environment anywhere, anytime, and without the constraints of time and space, creating a meaningful learning experience for them. In addition, when applied effectively, educational technology will enable learner-centered approaches to learning, including the provision of adaptive learning methods, active learning strategies, AI learning partners, virtual learning communities, and more—all of which are the promise of education in the 21st century. Therefore, in the past two decades, the development and application of educational technology has received attention from governments, academic organizations, educational scholars, front-line teachers, and parents around the world, resulting in educational technology being a popular research topic. With the continuous development of educational technology, the expansion of educational technology theories, and the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, the adoption of educational technology to promote school closures in response to epidemic prevention policies has catalyzed the importance of issues with educational technology. The results of studies related to this topic will help to answer more unanswered questions about the theoretical and practical applications of contemporary educational technology. Therefore, a Special Issue on the topic of “Effectiveness and Sustainable Application on Educational Technology” is being proposed. Everyone is welcome to contribute.

This Special Issue welcomes original research papers and review articles that cover but that are not limited to the following areas:

1. Educational applications of metaverse technology;
2. Evaluation of the effectiveness of educational technology;
3. Barriers to the use of educational technology and strategies to address them;
4. Acceptance and sustainable application of educational technology;
5. Software on educational games;
6. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses on educational technology;
7. Educational artificial intelligence;
8. Human–computer interaction.
