Inaugural editorial for technology, knowledge and learning

Abstract

The new scope of the Technology, Knowledge and Learning journal emphasizes on the increased interest on context-aware adaptive and personalized digital learning environments. Rapid technological developments have led to new research challenges focusing on digital learning, game-based learning and gamification, automated assessment, along with learning analytics. These emerging systems aim to provide learning experiences delivered via personalized environments along with mobile devices and are tailored to the educational needs, the personal characteristics, and the particular circumstances of the individual learner or a group of interconnected learners. These diverse learning experiences in real-world and virtual situations generate big data that provide rich potential for in-depth intelligent analyses and adaptive feedback along with scaffolds whenever the learner needs it.
