Theme and Aims of the Focus Section
The focus section is devoted to the innovative uses of social, mobile and wearable technologies for teaching and learning. Specifically, this special issue will explore designs for teaching and designs for learning aiming at enhancing creative teaching and learning with social, mobile and wearable technologies. Creative teaching and learning in this context means teaching and learning how to be creative as well as teaching and learning through creative practice. In other words, we are interested both in the advancement of teaching practice that promote learners’ creativity, and design practices that promote teachers’ creativity. The aim of this focus section is to review and critique examples of current innovative designs, discuss emerging principles and theoretical frameworks which are reflected in these examples, and identify opportunities for future innovations for creative teaching and learning with social, mobile and wearable technologies.
