Aims and rationale
The purpose of this special issue is to explore the latest innovations in digital technologies for teaching and learning in Higher Education and beyond internationally. The special issue will provide a snapshot/summary of current research - will identify what digital technology innovations are being implemented in higher education and beyond, how they are being researched, and what are the implications for practice and policy.
Learning Technology innovation in Higher Education and beyond has the potential to challenge, disrupt and enhance the teaching and learning experience for all learners in an increasingly globalised world. Alongside, the changing context of institutions to facilitate/stimulate the innovations in digital technologies must be taken into account. Many educational stakeholders face similar issues in local contexts when developing technology enhanced learning practices. However harvesting and disseminating these efforts remain disparate, and unconnected. It is thus important and timely to consolidate, critically interrogate and extend our understandings of the relationships between digital technologies and practices by taking a global perspective. This offers us the opportunity to apply these learning outputs to develop understanding beyond Higher Education, to other sectors; and also to understand how these practices differ internationally.
