This book gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). It is organized as a collection of 14 research themes, each introduced by leading experts and including references to the most relevant literature on the theme of each cluster. Additionally, each chapter discusses four seminal papers on the theme with expert commentaries and updates. This volume is of high value to people entering the field of learning with technology, to doctoral students and researchers exploring the breadth of TEL, and to experienced researchers wanting to keep up with latest developments.

“One of the more challenging publishing genres is surely the book of collected research-focussed chapters aiming to provide a well explained overview of the current state of research in a specialised field. This book, ‘Technology Enhanced Learning: Research Themes’ rises to that challenge. … The key sources are clearly referenced in the chapters and are listed separately at the end of the book. These provide a very useful core list for any reader wanting to take their investigations further.” (David Longman, mirandanet.ac.uk, February, 2018)

Erik Duval was full professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven where he chaired the Informatics Section of the Computer Science Department and also chaired the Research Unit on Human-Computer Interaction. His research was situated in the long-standing quest to augment the human intellect, with a scope that included technology enhanced learning and learning analytics, science2.0, digital humanities, personal health, and data journalism. He died on 12 March 2016. 


Mike Sharples is Professor of Educational Technology in the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University, UK. He also has a post as Academic Lead for the FutureLearn company. His research involves human-centred design of new technologies and environments for learning. He inaugurated the mLearn conference series and was Founding President of the International Association for Mobile Learning.  He is Associate Editor in Chief of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies. He is author of over 300 papers in the areas of educational technology, science education, human-centred design of personal technologies, artificial intelligence and cognitive science.


Rosamund Sutherland is Professor of Education at the University of Bristol and was formerly Head of the Graduate School of Education. Her research is concerned with teaching and learning with ICT, young people’s use of digital technologies outside school, and mathematics education. She recently published the book Education and Social Justice in a Digital Age and nowadays she uses her research to inform her work as governor of Merchants’ Academy in South Bristol.
