Tech trends in teaching and learning
An Emerald mission in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Technology has played a major role in society over the past few decades and has naturally integrated into the education sector.
This education trend presents a number of benefits but also drawbacks for educational institutions that want to continue to offer students the rigorous education they need to thrive.
Gamification, blockchain, and AI are some of the topics covered in this mission, so join us to learn how, in partnership with some of our authors and experts from the community, we’ve been exploring this subject.
We’re inviting authors to publish with us in the field of education, so if you are working on an article, have an idea for a book or special issue, or would like to contribute a blog or commentary then we’d love to hear from you.
This mission supports our quality education for all goal
