Special Issue "Educational Technology’s Influence in Higher Education Teaching and Learning—Series 2"

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, the integration of technology into higher education and the support it provides via hybrid and/or blended learning approaches is more crucial than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although many researchers have already studied how digital technology could enhance teaching and learning in higher education, it is the COVID-19 pandemic that has forced everyone to change or reconsider how technology could be used to overcome isolation restrictions. The COVID-19 teaching and learning disruptions have led university teachers to re-design, reshape, and explore new alternative and innovative teaching and pedagogical approaches integrating learning technology.

This current Special Issue II in Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) aims to present practice examples that implement after the COVID-19 pandemic and introduce how digital education has (been) affected by implementing the COVID-19 pandemic opportunities and challenges in Higher Education. This Special Issue also includes examples of how new, updated, or revised curriculum and/or Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) frameworks can transform traditional into digital Higher Education enhancing student engagement, motivation, and/or assessment.

The previous Special Issue I in this area presented successful practice examples from before or during the COVID-19 pandemic and provided useful information to university teachers to assist them in further understanding the higher education context, and the demands and challenges of digital education.

The rapid teaching and learning change in higher education, the need to reshape the curriculum, the 21^st century digital competence challenges, and learning technology developments are only some of the areas that may be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, and they may be bound to stay with us. All these areas make it crucial for higher education teachers, educational researchers, and learning technologists to consider teaching and learning from the perspectives of digital education and innovation.
