Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Education is currently undergoing a rapid transformation to meet the challenges and opportunities of digitalization. It is clear that as technology advances, it is increasingly being used in the educational environment to change different dimensions of the educational system. We currently know many different ways in which Advanced Learning Technologies (ALTs) can be used and will inevitably continue to expand and evolve as new technological solutions emerge. Advances in technology have made it possible for educatonal institutions to use digital learning materials, learning management systems, VR/AR solutions that help organize the study process, analyze data, and offer opportunities for all form of learning. However, as technology advances further, the fact remains that this transformation process will be endless and that organizational forms of learning, the learning content to be mastered, and digital competences must be continuously developed to take full advantage of these advances and to ensure sustainable education. On the one hand, it may seem that technological solutions provide opportunities for learning whenever and wherever an individual wants, but on the other hand, it is clear that human learning is a purposeful process that is leading to the emergence of various challenges that demonstrate that technology and digital solutions alone do not impart learning. In order to harness the enormous potential of the use of technology, it is necessary to develop new and innovative pedagogical concepts to promote the use of technological advances to add value to student learning outcomes. It is also essential to create synergies between technology opportunities, education systems, curriculum provision and pedagogical strategies
These are all areas in which one has to work and study and be open to different opportunities while analyzing data and forecasting future trends in order to ensure sustainable education.
This special issue will be dedicated to topical issues of digital solutions for sustainable education learning. It will establish an environment where to discuss ideas, problems, challenges and innovative solutions for changes in education which are brought by advanced technologies.
Indicative topics of interest:
- Education policies for digital transformation
- Pedagogical solutions of technology enhanced learning
- Distance and remote learning
- Digital technologies and inclusive education
- Cognitive processes in cyberspace
- Socioemotional competencies in cyberspace
- Technological solutions to support distance and remote learning
- Academia-industry collaborations for digitalization of education
- Shared curriculum and programs across scientific borders for sustainable education
- Case studies of educational innovations
- Gamification of education
- Research methodology of digital transformations
