Scope of the Journal

Technology Enhanced Learning is the best term to describe the domain of Knowledge Society Technologies as applied in the learning context. “Learning for anyone, at any time, at any place” is the motto. With the shift towards the knowledge society, the change of working conditions and the high-speed evolution of information and communication technologies, peoples’ knowledge and skills need continuous updating. Learning, based on collaborative working, creativity, multidisciplinary, adaptiveness, intercultural communication and problem solving, has taken on an important role in everyday life.

The learning process is becoming pervasive, both for individuals and organizations, in formal education, in the professional context and as part of leisure activities. Learning should be accessible to every citizen, independent of age, education, social status and tailored to his/her individual needs. To meet these social challenges is a leading issue of research on the use of technology to support learning.

In the context of Knowledge Society, the focus of research in this area has been set on applications of technologies for user-centered learning, building on the concept of human learning and on sound pedagogical principles with the key objectives to be:

• To increase the efficiency of learning for individuals and groups
• To facilitate transfer and sharing of knowledge in organizations
• To contribute to a deeper understanding of the learning process by exploring links between human learning, cognition and technologies.

The OPEN RESEARCH JOURNAL on LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES brings together academics, researchers, library heads and professionals aiming to contribute to the debate on Learning Technologies.
