DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis edited book focuses on the possible education responses that can be implemented in future education times. The impact of technology on learning and teaching is often at the forefront of demands, particularly from those who dictate the funding available to pay for technology within education systems. This is not an unreasonable request and there is merit in impact evaluations of educational technologies including emergingtechnologies. Besides, it also shows how emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Educational Games and Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality, will reshape the future of education to provide efficient learning/teaching experiences and assessments. Furthermore, the book discusses innovative teaching and learning approaches (e.g., the use of open educational practices and peer-to-peer learning) that can be applied in this rapidly moving technological era to maintain education, including in unconditional times. Particularly, new instructional methods, such as game-based learning, should be designed based on integrated technologies to provide an effective learning experience, resulting in better learning outcomes. Future education should not solely focus on technology and psychology, but also on the applied instructional methods, as well as the human touch to maintain authentic and effective learning experiences. The book also discusses how teaching and learning can be designed to meet the growing tendency of Open and Distance Education, where thousands of learners can be taken the same course from different cultures, backgrounds and learning needs. This book aims to establish itself, through the published books/textbooks and research, as a medium to provide guidelines and recommendations for different stakeholders, including policymakers, educational designers, teachers, and students on how to enhance both learning and teaching experiences in the future for better learning outcomes, as well as how to maintain education in emergency times. It also provides one step ahead towards future education to prepare different stakeholders for the rapid evolution of education, even in times of emergency and difficult situations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEducational systems worldwide are facing an enormous shift as a result of sociocultural, political, economic, and technological changes. The technologies and practices that have developed over the last decade have been heralded as opportunities to transform both online and traditional education systems. While proponents of these new ideas often postulate that they have the potential to address the educational problems facing both students and institutions and that they could provide an opportunity to rethink the ways that education is organized and enacted, there is little evidence of emerging technologies and practices in use in online education. Because researchers and practitioners interested in these possibilities often reside in various disciplines and academic departments the sharing and dissemination of their work across often rigid boundaries is a formidable task. Contributors to Emergence and Innovation in Digital Learning include individuals who are shaping the future of online learning with their innovative applications and investigations on the impact of issues such as openness, analytics, MOOCs, and social media. Building on work first published in Emerging Technologies in Distance Education, the contributors to this collection harness the dispersed knowledge in online education to provide a one-stop locale for work on emergent approaches in the field. Their conclusions will influence the adoption and success of these approaches to education and will enable researchers and practitioners to conceptualize, critique, and enhance their understanding of the foundations and applications of new technologies.
