Cheung Jeanne Lam Kwan Keung Ng (Eds.) Technology in Education Transforming Educational Practices with Technology First International Conference, ICTE 2014 Hong Kong, China, July 2-4, 2014 Revised Selected Papers 13 Volume Editors Kam Cheong Li The Open University of Hong Kong, China E-mail: Preface This edited volume consists of extended papers selected from the International Conference on Technology in Education (ICTE 2014). As the conference theme highlights, the contents of the papers discuss issues of “Transforming Educational Practices with Technology.” Technology has become an integral part in virtually all aspects of education, broadly covering curriculum planning, content development and delivery, assess- ment, program evaluation, and communication among learners, instructors, and institutions. In conventional universities, open learning institutions, as well as continuing education organizations, technology has become an irreversible force driving changes and transforming practices. New approaches, methods, proce- dures, and tools are emerging and therefore to contribute as a timely academic platform In this volume, the papers are organized into four groups: namely “Appli- cation of Mobile Technologies in e-Learning,” “Technology Advancement in e- Learning Systems,” “Innovations in e-Learning Pedagogy,” and “Open Educa- tion and Institution e-Learning Policy.” Our many sincere thanks go to the Organizing Committee of the conference for their effective administration and unfailing support. Our great thanks also go to the Program Committee. The high quality of this book could not have been maintained without their professional comments and advice in the paper-review process.
