Sustainability in the Era of Mobile Learning

Dear Colleagues,

Central in environmental education (EE) is education for sustainable development (ESD) as it helps students to build knowledge, skills, attitudes and values which are necessary to ensure a sustainable future for humanity, locally and globally. In recent years, due to the technological innovation various technological tools and services have found application in education. Especially, the education community has recognised that mobile devices and their applications can be used in in environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD). Thus, there has been a sharp increase in the access and use of interactive smart screen technologies by students and educators around the globe blurring of the boundaries between formal, non-formal and informal learning. Recent research results highlight the role of mobile devices as additional tools and facilitators in a pedagogical and methodological well-designed learning environment to reach EE and ESD goals, as well as to achieve more self-determined, learner-centered and collaborative learning.

This Topical Collection will comprise a selection of papers presenting original and innovative contributions to the advancement of research in areas related to environmental education, sustainability, pedagogical and methodological well-designed learning environment to reach EE and ESD goals, mobile learning applications (apps), and development of approaches and technologies that will enable step-changes in emerging and future modes of sustainability. Papers selected for this Topical Collection will be subject to a rigorous peer-review process with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
