About Learning Futures and Emerging Technologies

Aims and scope

Learning Futures and Emerging Technologies (previously known as On the Horizon) is dedicated to exploring the latest advancements and innovations in the field of education, addressing issues that drive new futures for learning and possibilities for human development. Our mission is to provide a platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to share their insights and findings on emerging technologies and innovations and their impact on education.

We are particularly interested in contributions that focus on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational settings. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • AI-driven personalized learning
  • Intelligent tutoring systems
  • AI in educational assessment and evaluation
  • Ethical considerations of AI in education
  • AI-enhanced educational tools and platforms
  • Innovations in educational technology and digital learning environments

In addition to AI, we welcome submissions that explore other cutting-edge innovations and future trends in education, such as:

  • The intersections of futures research and foresight with human development
  • The transformative effects of technology on education and learning organizations, including:
    • Virtual and augmented reality in education
    • Blockchain technology for educational credentials
    • Gamification and game-based learning
    • Internet of Things (IoT) in educational environments
    • Data analytics and learning analytics
  • Future trends in curriculum design and pedagogy
  • The impact of changing social, economic, environmental, and cultural needs of society on learning systems
  • Changing economics, policies, and practices affecting teaching and learning

We welcome original research articles, review papers, case studies, and theoretical discussions that offer new perspectives on the role of AI and other emerging technologies in education. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of how these innovations can enhance teaching and learning experiences, and to support the development of effective and ethical educational practices.
