Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, E-learning combined with new information technology to enhance learning effectiveness has become an important international research issue under the epidemic. E-learning or distance learning have become major learning platforms via integrating new technologies such as artificial intelligence, AR/VR, emotion technology, and metaverse to cultivate sustainable education.
More research will help in the development of E-learning with educational technology. The successful implementation of these digital technologies will influence the learning performance, motivation, and engagement for sustainable education. Blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFT) also provide chances for new development for design thinking, fashions style, creative thinking, education authorization, STEAM education, maker, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the educational applications of applying new technologies such as AI, metaverse, AR/VR, blockchain, and NFT to improve the learning performance of sustainable education/E-learning.
