Description / Beschreibung
This edited volume examines the use of technology to support learning, assessment, and intervention in educational and psychological contexts. Drawing on empirical research, case studies, and practical applications, it provides researchers, educators, and psychologists with a comprehensive understanding of how digital tools can enhance children’s learning, development, and well-being. The book offers evidence-based guidance for evaluating, selecting, and implementing technologies while addressing key ethical and practical considerations.
Highlighting effective resources for both typical and neurodiverse learners, it explores innovations such as eye-tracking systems, augmented and virtual reality, mobile technologies, and wearable devices. Readers will gain practical strategies for integrating these tools into teaching and intervention practices to foster engagement, personalize learning, and improve outcomes.
The volume also examines technology-supported approaches for assessing student performance and delivering targeted interventions, with particular attention to learners with autism, learning disabilities, and other diverse needs. By promoting informed and responsible technology use, it contributes to ongoing discussions on innovation, accessibility, and inclusive education.
