Education and training have faced many challenges in the past five years –
political, educational, and technological trends such as the European Bologna
process, Lifelong Learning and the use of Social Software are just a few of
the factors influencing this field. Furthermore, technology-enhanced learning
has become the mainstream of educational and training innovation.
Within this context, this second edition of the Handbook on “Information
Technologies for Learning, Education, and Training” attempts to capture
the state-of-the-art in technology-enhanced learning, as it has emerged
during the last years and anticipates important future developments.
As the Handbook Editors, we have aimed to provide a comprehensive
guide for both researchers and practitioners working in the field of
Technology-enhanced Learning and Training. Our overall objective is to
enable the reader to gain a deep understanding of the past, present, and
future research and applications in this field.
