Call for Books: New Book Series "Emerging Technologies in Education"

Vernon Press invites monographs or edited volume proposals on the subject of Emerging Technologies in Education.

As we progress through the 21st century, the blend of technology and education is opening up unique and exciting opportunities for innovation and transformation. The "Emerging Technologies in Education" series aims to capture this dynamic evolution, offering educators, researchers, and policymakers the insights needed to effectively utilize these technologies. Our goal is to explore the impacts of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), chatbots, digital storytelling, gamification, learning analytics, and more on educational practices. This series will not only investigate the practical applications of these technologies but also address the critical pedagogical, ethical, and social questions they raise. By making these discussions accessible and relevant to a broad audience, we aim to equip educators with the knowledge and strategies to effectively integrate technology into their teaching and learning practices.

Central Theme and Description of the Proposed Volume:

The series will offer a comprehensive, interdisciplinary exploration of how emerging technologies are reshaping education. Each volume will provide a cohesive analysis of the systemic impacts of these technologies across various educational contexts and disciplines. By incorporating diverse perspectives, the series will foster a deeper understanding of the complexities and potentials of technological integration in education. This approach ensures that the series is accessible and valuable to a wide range of readers, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technological advancements and practical, ethical, and pedagogical considerations.
