Interactive Technology and Smart Education (ITSE) is a multi-disciplinary journal examining educational technologies that have emerged from multimedia and social software. The journal promotes innovative technology in the context of pedagogical strategies and learners’ educational needs. By bringing together these specialist fields, the journal bridges an important gap in educational technology research.

Contributions are solicited in any of the two main broad themes – interactive technology and SMART education, either covered individually or combined. “SMART” is used as an acronym that refers to interactive technology offering a more flexible and tailored approach by being “Sensitive, Manageable, Adaptable, Responsive and Timely”.

 Relevant topics include:

• Novel approaches to learning using educational technologies
• Design and development of learning technologies (e.g. participatory approaches, user interface design, types of interfaces, principles of good practice)
• Organisational issues impinging on uptake of educational technologies
• Other cultural issues (e.g. multilingual and multicultural issues)
• Pedagogical methods, educational assessment and quality assurance
• Related social and psychological issues
• Interaction and interaction styles; computer-supported co-operative approaches and computer-mediated communication
• Usability engineering methods, concepts and evaluation
• Ergonomics and human factors; interaction, usability and accessibility issues
• Approaches providing solutions for users with various special needs
• Evaluation techniques and methodologies
• Trends for new and emerging technologies (e.g. multimedia, social software, semantic web, and other web focused technologies)
• New and evolving e-research methods
• Interactive Technology and SMART Education case studies
