Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable learning and education (SLE) is an emerging philosophy of and aspiration for learning and teaching founded on the principles of sustainability. SLE is not necessarily education for sustainability but rather sustainable learning, a new and different idea. Technology and serious games are, together with interactive and immersive games, the most important field of application for educational games. Educators often use interactive and immersive games to capture and maintain students’ attention and motivation. At the same time, educational games are one of the most widely used mechanisms for education throughout life. In addition, educational games have shown their value in improving learning processes through the fun and motivation they generate. Furthermore, learning integrated within a larger technology and design is more persistent in the long term. The aim of this Special Issue is to promote the use of technology and design methodologies to specify, formalize, and enrich the design of these educational games. We welcome the submission of empirical, theoretical, and review articles that focus on improving the technology and design of educational games used for learning. Additionally, this Special Issue aims to address all issues concerning the interaction between the learning outcomes of sustainable technology and design education in sustainability education.
