Innovative Sensing Technologies for Interactive Education

This special issue belongs to the section “Intelligent Sensors“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue welcomes cutting-edge contributions that explore the intersection of innovative sensing technologies and interactive education. More specifically, it focuses on novel sensing methodologies, hardware–software co-designs, and intelligent systems that leverage sensor data to enhance interactivity, personalization, and responsiveness in educational environments. We seek work that advances the engineering foundations of sensing for education, such as sensor fusion, edge-AI integration, noise-robust signal processing, and human-centered sensing interfaces, and clearly demonstrates how these innovations enable meaningful educational interactions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to agent-enhanced LIDSD analytics, multi-agent systems for sparse sensor data fusion, reinforcement learning agents for noise-resilient sensing, virtual tutors powered by lightweight sensor-aware agents, agent-based simulations for teacher training, ethically aligned agent design, and privacy-preserving sensing architectures for educational contexts. Both original research articles (experimental or theoretical) and comprehensive review papers are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
