Preface

摘要

SETE 2016 was the first Annual International Symposium on Emerging Technologies for Education held in conjunction with ICWL 2016 and organized by the Hong Kong Web Society. SETE is open to the public for organizing a workshop or a track so as to achieve diversity in the symposium. Fueled by ICT technologies, the e-learning environment in the education sector has become more innovative than ever before. Diversified emerging technologies containing various software and hardware components provide the underlying infrastructure creating enormous potential educational applications incorporated by proper learning strategies. Moreover, these prevalent technologies might also lead to changes in the educational environment as well as in learning performance. Moreover, new paradigms are also emerging with the purpose of bringing these innovations to a level where they are widely accepted and sustainable. Therefore, this symposium aims to be a meeting point for researchers, educationists, and practitioners to discuss state-of-the-art and in-progress research, exchange ideas, and share experiences about emerging technologies for education. This symposium attempts to provide opportunities for the cross-fertilization of knowledge and ideas from researchers in diverse fields that make up this interdisciplinary research area. We hope that the implications of the findings of each work presented at this symposium can be used to improve the development of educational environments.
