Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As technology and smart applications continue to evolve at an astonishing speed, their influence and applicability in the educational domain are both welcomed and unavoidable. Empowering the learner as well as the educator is the main focus of technology-enhanced education as we reap the benefits of artificially assisted techniques and move toward Education 4.0. Smart pedagogies will take full advantage of the fourth industrial revolution to enhance the effectiveness of e-learning, integrate advanced technology to support innovative digital pedagogies that deepen learner engagement, provide on-the-fly feedback, and customize learning to align with the specific needs and interests of different learners. 

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome, especially those that focus on the different aspects of Education 4.0, including but not limited to the following: 

  • Smart digital pedagogies that support creativity;
  • Online social presence;
  • Digitally promoting critical thinking;
  • Participatory design within added-value learning spaces;
  • Ambient intelligent learning spaces;
  • Virtual learning management environments;
  • Learner profiling and personalization;
  • Education 4.0 pedagogies;
  • New digital institutions and spaces. 

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
