Educational Technology & Society is a quarterly journal (January, April, July and October). It seeks academic articles on the issues affecting the developers of educational systems and educators who implement and manage such systems. The articles discuss the perspectives of both communities and their relation to each other:
Educators aim to use technology to enhance individual learning as well as to achieve widespread education and expect the technology to blend with their individual approach to instruction. However, most educators are not fully aware of the benefits that may be obtained by proactively harnessing the available technologies and how they might be able to influence further developments through systematic feedback and suggestions.
Educational system developers and artificial intelligence (AI) researchers are sometimes unaware of the needs and requirements of typical teachers, with a possible exception of those in the computer science domain. In transferring the notion of a 'user' from the human-computer interaction studies and assigning it to the 'student', the educator's role as the 'implementer/ manager/ user' of the technology has been forgotten.
The aim of the journal is to help them better understand each other's role in the overall process of education and how they may support each other.
