Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In light of the evolution of educational technologies, theorists, researchers, and designers all place special focus on understanding the nature of e-learning as a learning innovation in various academic areas and diverse environments in higher education. Relative research considers a series of concepts and orientations that have been shown to be associated with learning in higher education, including personalized learning, adaptive learning, mobile learning, virtual learning, collaborative learning, and gamification. Increased connectivity, interactivity, flexibility, and accessibility, leading to improved learning outcomes and engagement, are challenging existing structures and practices within higher education institutions.

This Special Issue seeks the submission of a range of articles which outline the most significant trends shaping the future of e-learning associated with learning in higher education. We welcome submissions in the form of research papers, systematic literature reviews, and conceptual and opinion studies which focus on understanding the key aspects of e-Learning from definition and design to its applications and its future.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: conceptions of instruction and learning that consider the use of technology-enriched environments in higher education; e-learning and artificial intelligence (AI) and the digital transformation of e-learning teaching strategies and academic achievements in higher education; virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and gamification in higher education contexts; and ethical orientations related to the creation of different kinds of e-learning environments in higher education.
