Sustainable Education in the Digital Society: Applying Communication Technologies and Digital Tools to Education

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to compile a selection of research related to educational proposals, for any stage of formal and non-formal education, that explore the pedagogical value of information and communications technologies (ICT) in sustainable education processes in digital environments.

The research will deal with innovative techno-pedagogical approaches that demonstrate transformations in the methodological approaches, adding value to the different moments that an educational experience goes through. They will address topics that place special emphasis on their sustainability, in accordance with the SDGs—especially number 4, which refers to quality education.

This Special Issue will contribute to the development of existing literature, describing how the incorporation of ICT to teaching and learning environments contributes to the promotion of changes in the digital society. The Issue will focus on active methodological approaches that make use of virtual environments that promote communicative spaces mediated by digital tools, generating educational contexts that place the learner as an active agent in their learning process.

All these considerations guide the proposal of this monograph, which seeks to compile new research on sustainable educational practices that make use of ICT, as well as digital tools, with the aim of transforming educational practice by adapting it to today’s society.
