Title: "Open and Distance Education for All: Exploring Creative Pedagogy Methodologies and Evaluating Uses of Information Technology"
Handbook Aims
Focusing on the common good, it is necessary to reformulate all the models and strategies used so far in the learning-teaching process, since human and formative quality must prevail over any index of scientific quantification online, within the group of people dedicated to the face-to-face and distance training. These are people, models and techniques that must be recycled and updated in light of the notions and technologies of social diffusion.
Urgent solutions are required in the field of education, given the new sociological gaps between populations located in rural environments, large cities, smart cities, etc. and who daily resort to videoconferencing, virtual tutors, webinar, ebook, podcast, blog, etc. All solutions must be focused on the didactic and technological resources available to potential students and teachers, in their usual work places –e.g., schools, institutes, universities, companies, associations, organizations, and so on–, with extension to homes.
It aims to examine all those positive aspects that derive from the use of information technologies in the teaching-learning process, and that can be enhanced through the evaluation techniques, methods, strategies, and so forth, applied to innovative pedagogy.
The present project encourages high quality, originality, clarity, precision and significance works to eliminate uncertainty of meaning and increasingly unify all research works in Digital Pedagogies; Evaluation of the Methods and Techniques Educational Process; Smart Learning; Readiness of Educators for TEL (Technology-Enhanced Learning); Accessibility; Communicability, etc., from production to realization of the emerging applications, systems and new technologies. In other words, the education binomial between real and virtual worlds, it is necessary that the paradigm changes be carried out efficiently, creatively and with low costs.
