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 book gathers selected papers from the Hong Kong Association
for Educational Communications and Technology 2019 International
Conference on the theme of "Shaping the Future of Education,
Communication and Technology." It contributes to a scholarly
discussion that looks beyond what future media and technology can
offer for education, and reflects on best practices and lessons
learned from applying new media and technology in a wide range of
fields. Scholars from educational technology, communication, and
higher education share their research work in various formats such
as empirical research, best-practice case studies, literature
reviews, etc. The topics of the papers are divided into four main
areas, including curriculum, pedagogy and instructional design;
teaching and learning experiences with technology; online learning
and open education resources; and communication and media. The
book's unique quality is its combination of perspectives and
research work on communication, education and technology. Thus, it
will encourage an interdisciplinary discourse and exchange
concerning communication, new media, and educational practices.
