Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Education Sciences is announcing a Special Issue entitled “Learning Design for the Digital Age: Leveraging Technology for Engagement and Use”. This Special Issue seeks to investigate the intersection between two crucial topics in education: learning design for the digital age and the acceptance and use of technology in educational settings. With the rapid evolution of technology, there is a growing need to understand how educators can effectively design learning experiences that leverage digital tools to enhance engagement. With the rapid and constant development of Artificial Intelligence, which has led to various social adaptations, it is also vital to explore the consequent changes in conceptions, the design of pedagogical activities and educational practices. Additionally, exploring the factors that influence the acceptance and application of technology in education is essential for ensuring its successful implementation and adoption. This Special Issue aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of these intertwined subjects, examining methodologies, best practices, challenges, and implications for educational practice in the digital era.
