Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of technology in the educational field has profoundly transformed the way we learn and teach in contemporary society. The emergence of a multimodal society, where information is presented through various media and platforms, poses new challenges and opportunities for educational technology. In this Special Issue, we will explore how educational technology can adapt and enhance quality learning, promoting inclusion, active participation, and educational equity and investigating the ethical and social implications of the integration of educational technology in a digital society:
- Analyze the impact of the digital society on education and the role of technology in this context.
- Explore innovative strategies and technological tools to improve teaching and learning.
- Investigate the ethical and social implications of the integration of educational technology in a digital society.
- Examine case studies and good practices that illustrate the effective application of technology in different educational contexts.
- Identify future challenges and opportunities for research and practice in the field of educational technology.
Potential contributors:
- Researchers in the field of educational technology with experience in the design and evaluation of digital tools for learning.
- Education professionals who have successfully implemented educational technologies in multimodal environments and are willing to share their experiences and perspectives.
- Academics that specialize in educational and media studies who can provide a critical understanding of the relationship between technology and education.
- Experts in ethics and educational policy interested in examining the ethical dilemmas and political implications of educational technology.
- Graduate students and young researchers who are carrying out research on the integration of technology in diverse and multimodal educational environments.
This Special Issue will also be offered to the participants of the XXVIII Edutec 2024 Congress (https://edutec24.es/) held on 20–22 November 2024. It is a key event in the field of education and technology, which could offer updated perspectives and innovative experiences in the use of educational technology in multimodal environments.
