Dear Colleagues,

Digital technologies have greatly changed education, introducing online learning that has made education more accessible to all ages and people all over the world. The growing emphasis on educational technology continues to change traditional teaching methods and requires a continuous exploration of its effectiveness and influence on learning outcomes. This research area is growing in importance due to the increasing implementation of digital learning, especially after global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic that required a quick shift to online education. Due to the rapidly changing nature of technology, it is important that research continues to assess and evaluate the use of technology in educational environments.

The aim of this Special Issue is to explore of the use of educational technology in various educational environments. This subject aligns with the journal's scope to provide inclusive and equitable access to research. By focusing on educational technology in online and classroom environments, this Special Issue seeks to contribute to an understanding of how digital tools and platforms are shaping learning experiences, outcomes and the broader educational landscape.

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

• design and implementation of online courses: best practices, challenges and innovations;
• design of multimedia environments: research on a wide range of design elements in multimedia environments;
• the role of AI in education: the use of artificial intelligence in personalizing learning and assessment;
• digital tools and platforms: the evaluation of existing tools and the development of new ones;
• virtual and augmented reality: the impact of VR, AR and XR on education;
