With the adoption of e-learning in mainstream education, use of emerging
and innovative instructional technologies is
gaining importance in academia. This is particularly true for engineering
education where the learning process lends
itself to variety of multi-sensory approaches.
This special issue aims to focus on the emerging and innovative design,
development and implementation of instructional
technologies in engineering education. With the advent of Web 2.0 and 3.0
technologies and changing educational
paradigms due to changing needs of the society, both technological
advancements and instructional pedagogies have
influenced the way instruction takes place. New ways of learning has
resulted as a consequence,
giving rise to mobile learning technologies, collaborative learning
technologies, social networking technologies, to
name a few.
This special issue is intended to collate realisable ideas, inspirations,
as well as outreach approaches which have been
implemented and tested in engineering education. Examples of topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
- Technological advancements
- Theories and paradigms for use of instructional technologies
- Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technologies for instruction
- Non-traditional instructional technologies
- Collaborative and social technologies
- Synchronous and asynchronous technologies
- Standardization and reusability issues
- Specific cases of innovative use of instructional technologies
- Evaluation of instructional technologies
