This
special issue of the KM&EL international journal is
dedicated to coverage of
technology
in higher
education
and human
performance.
Fierce competition,
globalization, and
a
dynamic economy have forced organizations and individuals
to search for new ways to strengthen their competitive
advantages. In pursuance this, improvement of learning and human
performance for sustainable development has been
recognized as a
key strategic issue. It becomes
crucial to help learners in
educational institutions and
knowledge workers in various organizations
to improve their self-directed and life-long learning, especially via using information and
communication technologies in the digital economy.
While
implementing technology-enhanced learning, a variety of
aspects
have to
be taken into account
including learning and instructional theories,
educational technology, curriculum development,
knowledge management, performance evaluation,
organizational culture, etc. This special
issue aims to provide a forum
for academics and practitioners to explore issues
related to the design, evaluation
and application of technologies
in
higher education and human performance
development.
The
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- E-learning
in higher education

education and lifelong learning
- Computer-assisted learning
- Instructional design in
online learning

management

of technology on learning
We
are interested in both theoretical and
practical papers that aim to improve
learning and human performance by applying the latest technological
advances. We would like to stimulate interest in the
issues across academia, practice, industry, research and
policy, and therefore we welcome focused papers
from all sectors.
