E-learning and Sustainability in Higher Education

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, electronic learning (e-learning)  has been widely applied to various fields and has become a popular issue in higher education. E-learning can be simply defined as learning conducted via electronic media, typically on the internet. MOOCs, massive open online courses, are a new type of e-learning course consisting of short video lectures, computer-graded tests, and online discussion boards. MOOCs have been growing at a rapid pace over the past few years, especially in higher education.

Today, e-learning represents an important education technology that can help the teacher to realize the learning status in a timely manner to enhance adaptive learning. Thus, fueled by technology, e-learning is entering the era of mobile and personalized learning, where those web-based paradigms or their extensions remain applicable to this trend.

Thus, we believe that the concepts from web-based learning may still benefit from the development of e-learning for sustainable development and education.

In this Topical Collection, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

• E-learning in higher education
• Mobile learning in higher education
