Technology Enhanced Learning and Mobile Learning

Dear Colleagues,

Teaching and Learning have always been influenced by technologies. However, thanks to the advancements in digital technologies, technology enhanced learning has seen a significant growth as means to improve learning experiences in a wide range of formal and informal settings. Digital systems can offer a series of capabilities to education, facilitate educational delivery, promote motivation and engagement and contribute to more efficient and effective learning. Along with the technological advancements, new pedagogical frameworks and instructional models that harness the affordances of emerging educational technologies have been considered. Moreover, online learning has become the delivery of choice for educational institutions worldwide due to the recent social distancing imposed by the pandemic. One of the research and development fields of interest that has been emerged during the last years is mobile learning: learning across contexts using mobile devices. Context aware ubiquitous learning is growing as means to support learners moving across locations, time, and social interactions.

The special issue “Technology Enhanced Learning and Mobile Learning” aims to continue and promote the discussion about technology supported learning environments and therefore invites original papers focusing on the latest developments in educational technologies and related pedagogies. Special focus will be given on mobile learning.  Researchers and practitioners are invited to share their latest research work and experience in the area of improving teaching and learning with the help of digital technologies.

The topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Online and blended learning environments
2. Mobile learning
3. Context-aware and ubiquitous learning
4. Adaptive and personalised learning
5. Smart learning environments
6. Artificial Intelligence in Education
7. VR/AR/XR educational applications
8. Game-based learning and gamification
9. Learning analytics
10. Technology enhanced STEM education
11. Technology supported assessment methodologies
12. Domain applications and case studies
13. Instructional design an learning design with digital technologies
14. Pedagogical aspects of technology enhanced learning environments
15. Social aspects of technology enhanced learning environments
