This special edition of the Educational Communications and
Technology Yearbook Series bears a title of "Learning Environment
and Design: Current and Future Impact". It provides a timely forum
to share theoretical and practical insights in both the local and
international contexts in response to the fact that new media and
technologies have infiltrated and shaped the learning environments
from mere physical spaces into multifaceted possibilities,
impacting the ways individuals teach and learn. Designs of learning
environments to harness technologies appropriately to engage
learners better, as well as the roles of learners and educators
play in this changing learning environment, are examples of
important global issues in the discourse of the contemporary
educational developments. Having gathered a diverse collection of
research papers written by scholars and practitioners in the fields
of education, communication and humanities across Asia,
Australasia, Europe and the United States, this book gives readers
a cross-cultural background on the developments of technological
designs and educational practices, investigating areas in
redefining of quality education; online learning and blended
learning; new media in education; gamification, AI, and innovative
learning technologies. Aimed to catalyze knowledge exchanges and
provide fresh views on interdisciplinary research, the book sheds
light on how emerging technologies can be adapted in the fields of
education and communication, so as to facilitate the current and
future designs of learning environments to improve learners'
performances.

This book gathers the best papers from the HKAECT-AECT 2017 Summer
International Research Symposium. Revealing the complex
interactions between communication and learning, which are
represented by the symbol "X" in the title, it provides a platform
for knowledge exchange on the new ecology for education in the
digital era. It also equips readers to handle complex issues in
both communication and education, and clarifies the difference
between practitioners and academics in communication and in
education.

With the increasing number of complaints and court cases relating
to healthcare disputes, healthcare practitioners (HCPs) are now
facing more challenges and dilemmas in their daily practices. This
book is unique in that most chapters are written jointly by two
authors: one with legal training and one with a healthcare
background. The balanced view offered thus allows readers to gain a
thorough understanding of the concepts presented. Although most of
the examples and scenarios are specific to medical doctors, the
basic principles and ethical considerations as well as the
enforcement of laws and regulations are, with some modifications,
equally applicable to other HCPs, such as dentists, nurses,
midwives, etc. Readers interested in healthcare law and ethics from
numerous fields and stages of training, including legal and
healthcare practitioners, trainees, postgraduate researchers and
undergraduate students, will find this book both informative and
practical as an aid to their work and studies.
Different global healthcare challenges bring threats to the
healthcare system. Governments of various countries have a lead
role in protecting the population by managing daily health care in
a sustainable manner. This book, written by a team of renowned
scholars and leading practitioners, is organised into three main
sections. It aims to evaluate how different parties can assist in
building up local community capacity to achieve sustainable health
and wellness. Apart from pointing out the limitation of the current
system, it also discusses the future directions of the health care
system in order to cope with the challenges in a changing society.
