Educational Technology Textbooks Worldwide

Although coverage of the design and delivery of technology-enabled learning and instruction has focused primarily on ideas and outcomes from high-income countries, today’s educational technology and eLearning landscape calls for a more diverse and complex alignment of ideas. Moreover, traditional mobilities and digital connectivity enable academic careers to flourish beyond restrictions to national borders, yielding ever-growing opportunities for richly internationalized student recruitment, faculty appointment, and research collaboration on campuses across the Global North and South.

Educational Technology Textbooks Worldwide is a series of graduate-level textbooks the offers the strongest and most relevant educational technology research-into-practice findings from around the world. These books’ international authorship and cross-contextual applicability acknowledge educational technology’s markedly globalized impact and the field’s urgent obligations toward equity, cultural responsiveness, and local sustainability. The series draws on authors from multiple nations and backgrounds, including those historically marginalized, reckoning with post-colonial struggles, or otherwise considered “developing.” Educational technologists, learning designers, higher education professionals, and teaching faculty and graduate students of teacher education and school leadership will be effectively prepared with foundational research and theory; substantive case studies or comparative analyses; full-length treatments of the fundamentals and applications of cutting-edge, evidence-based models and frameworks; syntheses of comparative research findings and learning outcomes; and more.
