Preface
ThiseditedvolumeconsistsofextendedpapersselectedfromtheSecondInternational
Conference on Technology in Education (ICTE 2015), which was held at the Caritas
Institute of Higher Education, Hong Kong, SAR China, during July 2–4, 2015.
Nowadays,technology hasemergedinvariousfacets ofteachingandlearning. Ina
technology-enabled learning environment, students can learn in more proactive ways.
This aligns to the ideas of student-centered learning. Technology-mediated proactive
learning has become an important topic for further investigation, and therefore ICTE
2015 took “Technology-Mediated Proactive Learning” as its main theme. The focus
was placed on how technology can be used to enable proactive learning so as to
enhance learning effectiveness and enrich learning experience. After a careful paper
review process, a total of 26 papers were selected for inclusion in this volume. These
papers are organized in five groups, namely, technology-enabled learning, mobile
learning and ubiquitous learning, learning platforms and advising systems, open
learning and online learning, and institutional strategies, policies, and practices.
Our sincere thanks go to the conference Organizing Committee for their effective
administration and unfailing support. Our thanks also go to the International Program
Committee. The high quality of the papers could not have been maintained without
their professional comments and advice in the paper review process.
