Learning (co)design is an emerging topic of research in the field of educational technology that has a long history, which has grown in scope and influence over time. Besides, the emergence of new publications and projects in recent years in the area shows that the design and co-design of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) experiences is today a topic of increasing interest in the field of educational technology. However, despite the development of theoretical frameworks, tools and proposals aimed at helping teachers in this endeavour, there are several limitations in the sustainability and scalability of these approaches when these technologies are called to be integrated into teachers' educational practices.

For this special issue, we want to provide a broad overview of learning design and (co)design, looking for a wide range of contributions that add value to both theoretical underpinnings and the development of fieldwork experiences aimed at understanding how TEL experiences are being carried out in different educational settings. Likewise, we also want to highlight the shortage of institutional support for the development of educational policies devoted to cultural, ethical and social needs linked to the (co)design of pedagogies for the digital era.

Therefore, this special issue is driven by the following question: what are the most effective educational practices and theories in the field of (co)design?

 

Keywords: learning design, educational technologies, technology-enhanced learning (TEL), co-design.

Descriptors

  • Attitudes and perceptions of teachers and/or students and/or principals towards the (co)design of TEL activities at different educational levels.
  • Development and validation of strategies towards the (co)design of TEL activities.
  • Use of ICT tools for the design of educational experiences enhanced by ICT.
  • Development of educational policies towards the (co)design of TEL scenarios.
  • Comparative studies aimed at showing differences and similarities in the (co)design of TEL situations.
  • Cultural, ethical and social underpinings in learning (co)design with ICT.
  • Strategies aimed at sharing (co-)designs of TEL situations.
  • Methodological approaches towards (co)design of TEL situations.
  • Development and validation of strategies of support to communities towards the (co)design of TEL activities.
  • Learning analytics for a better understanding of TEL (co)design.
