This edited book collects papers with perspectives from scholars
and practitioners in Asia, Australia, and Europe to reveal the pros
and cons, chances and challenges, constraints, and potential risks
that educators and learners are facing as the new paradigm for
communication and learning takes place, with a view to shedding
light on the global education climate in the midst of the pandemic.
Since the onset of the global pandemic, education has been
revolutionized in almost every aspect. The emergency precautionary
measures which were once supposed to be temporary school
arrangements only have now become the new normal, reshaping our
understanding of learning environments, redefining the pedagogic
standards in terms of teaching practices, learning designs,
teacher-student interaction, feedback, and assessment. Online
teaching, distanced learning, flipped classrooms, and self-paced
e-learning have all played an increasingly vital role in shaping a
new education culture in various education settings, affecting
school management, teachers, students, and parents alike. While ICT
in education, alongside new media, has provided ample benefits and
convenience for educators and students, communication and virtual
lessons conducted in the socially distanced classroom appear to
have brought issues such as the digital divide, e-mental health,
insufficient technical support, inefficient classroom management,
reduced interaction between teachers and students, not to mention
the growing concerns over privacy and security.
This volume includes a variety of first-hand case studies, critical
analyses, action research and reflective practice in the digital
humanities which ranges from digital literature, library science,
online games, museum studies, information literacy to corpus
linguistics in the 21st century. It informs readers of the latest
developments in the digital humanities and their influence on
learning and teaching. With the growing advancement of digital
technology, humanistic inquiries have expanded and transformed in
unfathomable complexity as new content is being rapidly created.
The emergence of electronic archiving, digital scholarship,
digitized pedagogy, textual digitization and software creation has
brought about huge impacts on both humanities subjects and the
university curricula in terms of nature, scope and design. This
volume provides insights into what these technological changes mean
for all the stakeholders involved and for the ways in which
humanities subjects are understood. Part 1 of this volume begins
with a broad perspective on digital humanities and discusses the
current status of the field in Asia, Canada and Europe. Then, with
a special focus on new literacies, educational implications, and
innovative research in the digital humanities, Parts 2-4 explore
how digital technology revolutionizes art forms, curricula, and
pedagogy, revealing the current practices and latest trends in the
digital humanities. Written by experts and researchers across Asia,
Australia, Canada and Europe, this volume brings global insights
into the digital humanities, particularly in the education aspect.
It is of interest to researchers and students of cultural studies,
literature, education, and technology studies. The strongest point
of this collection of work is that, it brings important concepts to
the study of digital literacies, for example, looking at it from
the perspective of new literacies, languages and education. Daniel
Churchill, Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, The
University of Hong Kong With a rapidly growing advancement in
digital tools, this book has made a relevant contribution by
informing readers what the latest development of these tools are,
and discusses how they can aid research, libraries, education and
even poets across different continents. Samuel Kai-wah Chu,

With the purpose of exploring the critical possibilities offered by
the global crisis of coronavirus pandemic, this volume presents the
collected works of scholars, educators and practitioners worldwide,
bringing to the readers a broad array of perspectives on how
COVID-19 inspires us to rethink, redefine, and make sense of the
theoretical and pedagogical approaches that can be applied in
various educational contexts. Part One of the book provides an
insightful exploration of the technology-mediated innovations used
in English language learning and teaching. Part Two reflects on the
online learning experiences of students, as well as the teachers'
strategies to cope with changes as the COVID-19 pandemic unleashed
unprecedented disruptions in class. Part Three looks into a range
of case studies regarding the digital divide, cross-border
schooling, cyberbullying, and cross-disciplinary skill training in
the post-pandemic workplace, highlighting the importance of
creating a positive learning environment. Part Four draws on the
observations and experiences of frontline teachers, to examine ways
to optimize the digital learning experiences of students in and
outside the classroom. This volume will be a useful reference for
scholars in Education, Communication, Applied Linguistics, Social
Work, and Positive Psychology.
Beginning with a brief history and evolution of the short story
genre, alongside an overview of the key short story writers, and an
explanatory chapter of literary criticism, this book aims to give
readers insight into the works by canonical British, Irish, and
American authors, including Edgar Allan Poe, James Joyce, Flannery
O'Conner, and more. Applying close reading skills and critical
literary approaches to four selected short stories in English, this
work conducts comparative analyses to reveal the interrelationships
between the texts, the authors, the readers, and the sociocultural
contexts. Developed and tested in literature classes at The Open
University of Hong Kong over several semesters, this book addresses
key issues, topics and trends in the short story genre.
