Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital education along with innovative approaches in education create positive effects on society and education. With today's technology, thanks to digital education tools, education continues to spread sustainability awareness by exceeding physical boundaries. Individuals can continue their education without any limitations on time and place through distance education platforms and massive open online courses (MOOCs). In addition, educators can contribute to the use of materials all over the world by integrating technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence into their classes and sharing up-to-date and sustainable content. Thanks to innovative technologies, teachers and students can contribute to educational content and develop their digital skills by having dynamic, interactive, and rich learning experiences. The use of interactive learning tools and educational resources digitally allows individuals to be more flexible, sustainable, and accessible in the teaching process and contributes to a global sustainability perspective, both in terms of being less costly and more environmentally friendly. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide examples of effective and sustainable methods used in the learning and teaching process including innovative approaches such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), digital tools, massive open online courses (MOOCs), and gamification.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
